Q
What significance does the encounter with the Angel in the sky hold in the context of the resumption of Divine Inspiration?
A
That he heard Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) describing the period of pause of the Divine Inspiration, and in his
description he said, “While I was walking I heard a voice from the sky. I looked up towards the sky,
and behold! I saw the same Angel who came to me in the Cave of Hira’, sitting on a chair between the
sky and the earth. I was so terrified by him that I fell down on the ground. Then I went to my wife and
said, ‘Wrap me in garments! Wrap me in garments!’ They wrapped me, and then Allah revealed:
“O you, (Muhammad) wrapped-up! Arise and warn…and desert the idols.” (74.1-5) Abu Salama
said….Rujz means idols.” After that, the Divine Inspiration started coming more frequently and
regularly.
