The Angels who Visited Prophet Abraham (pbuh)

One of God’s greatest blessings to Prophet Abraham was to support him with angels. As stated in the Qur’an, two angels came to him in human guise and stayed in his house. The angels gave him and his wife the glad tidings of a righteous son:

When they came in to him, they said: “Peace.” He replied: “Truly we are afraid of you.” They said: “Do not be afraid. We bring you the good news of a boy of great knowledge.” (Qur’an, 15:52-53)

 

When these glad tidings were imparted to them, Prophet Abraham and his wife had reached quite an advanced age. In addition, his wife was barren. He replied in these words:

He asked: “Do you bring me this good news despite the fact of old age having reached me? What kind of good news are you bringing me?” They said: “We bring you good news of the truth, so do not be among those who despair.” (Qur’an, 15:54-55)
