Al Baitul Ma'mur (the "Frequently visited House")is situated in the
7th heaven, directly above the Ka'aba on earth. The angelsmake hajj to
this House likewe make hajj to Ka'aba. The Ka'aba on earth is a
replica of it.
The Messenger of Allah (sallAllahu 'alyhi wasallam) said narrating
about the journey of 'Isra wal Miraaj, "Then I was shown
Al-Bait-al-Ma'm ur (i.e. Allah's House). I asked Jibreel about it and
he said, This isAl Bait-ul-Ma'mur where 70,000 angels perform prayers
daily and when they leave they never return to it (but always a fresh
batch comes into it daily)."
(Sahih Bukhari & Muslim)
The house itself is also mentioned in Surah at-Tur, verse 4 where
Allah swt takes the oath by this that the punishment of Your Lord will
occur. [52:7]
He (sallAllahu 'alyhi wasallam) also said, "Then the Bait-ul-Ma'mur
was raised up to me. I said: O Jabreel! what is this? He replied: It
is the Bait-ul-Ma'mur. Seventy thousand angels enter into it daily
and, after they come out, they never return again. Two vessels were
then brought to me. The first one contained wine and the second one
contained milk, and both of them were placed before me. I chose milk.
It was said: Youdid right. Allah will guide rightly through you your
Ummah on the natural course. Then fifty prayers daily were made
obligatory for me. And then he narrated the rest of the hadith to the
end."
(Saheeh Bukhari & Muslim)
This indicates the great numbers of angels and thatonly Allah Knows
how many they are. Hence, we must believe in them generally and
specifically as honored servants, not humans or Jinn, but as creatures
created from light as related in saheeh ahadeeth.
It is a Masjid like the Kabah,opposite to Allah's Throne. The angels
visit it, pray in it, and do Tawaf there just as the people of the
earth do Tawaf of their Kabah. Each day a fresh batch of 70,000 angels
comes to it. Till the Day of Judgement the same batch of angels will
not get a chance to return to it again. When this is the number of
Allah's work force, how powerful must Allah (subhana wa ta'ala) be?
In this world people get impressed by big companies. The greater
thenumber of employees, the more people are in awe of the employer.
Isn't Allah (subhana wa ta'ala) the greatest employer?--
