Question:
Assalamu alaikum,
I want to know how to see hazrat Sayyidina Jibril (the Angel) in dreams or in vision. How does he look like? I have seen an other angel in my vision before, just before I woke up. He was in white room, wearing white clothes, handsome bald tall guy, looked just like human, angel without wings. I woke up there, on the bed. It was a different dimension, not my own bedroom. Is it possible to see this same angel again (maybe he is my guardian angel, or an angel who is watching over me when I was sleeping). I want to know his name, how to call him again. And how to communicate with him, or with other angels. Is there a way to see them with open eyes, when awake? Or to hear their voice, to communicate? Any dua’s? Thank you.
Answer:
Alaykum Salam,
The description of Sayyidina Jibril (upon him peace) in the reports is that he has 600 wings, each pair of which is large enough to cover up the entire horizon from East to West, and from them pearls and jewels are strewn, in the sense of radiance of light as angels are made of light, and Allah knows best. As for seeing angels, al-Hakim related that the Prophet (upon him blessings and peace) said to Ibn `Abbas: “No one sees an angel except they go blind.” al-Suyuti said: “Meaning seeing them in the miraculous sense.” However, many reports state that angels are near those who are involved in dua, dhikr, salawat and good deeds.
