Question:
Asalaamu Aleykum to our beloved Shuyukh
Lorna Byrne is a humble, poor Irish lady who claims she can see angels. In her book, Stairways to Heaven, she states that Angel Michael guides her and shows her how Angels support the various unfortunate people. At one point she is transported to Mecca where she witnesses millions of angels and people praying at Kaaba and how the angels take peoples’ prayers to Allah’s Throne. Could this be true? She is also shown a special boy and is told this boy will grow up and bring an end to all wars, and bring peace, perhaps Mahdi AS? Indeed, do we have Guardian Angels protecting us?
Jazakallah Khair
Answer:
Wa `alaykum salam,
Yes, we do have guardian angels. Insha-Allah you will find very detailed information about angels in Shaykh Muhammad Hisham Kabbani’s book, Angels Unveiled.
{But verily over you (are appointed angels) to protect you, – Kind and honourable,- Writing down (your deeds): They know (and understand) all that ye do .As for the Righteous, they will be in bliss;} (al-Infitar, 82:10-13)
