Inform me about the Words of Allah -azwj Mighty and Majestic to Iblees -la : Were you arrogant or were you from the exalted ones?” [38:75] . Who are they, O Rasool-Allah -saww who are more exalted than the Angels of Proximity?’ فقال رسول الله (صلى الله عليه و آله): «أنا و علي و فاطمة و الحسن و الحسين، كنا في سرادق العرش نسبح الله، فسبحت الملائكة بتسبيحنا قبل أن يخلق الله آدم (عليه السلام) بألفي عام.

فلما خلق الله عز و جل آدم (عليه السلام)، أمر الملائكة أن يسجدوا له، و لو يؤمروا بالسجود إلا لأجلنا، فسجدت الملائكة كلهم أجمعون إلا إبليس فإنه أبى أن يسجد Rasool-Allah -saww said: ‘I -saww , and Ali -asws , and (Syeda) Fatima -asws , and Al-Hassan -asws and Al-Husayn -asws . We -asws in the Pavilions of the Throne Glorifying Allah -azwj . The Angels had been Glorifying by our -asws Glorification for two thousand years before Allah -azwj created Adam -as .

So when Allah -azwj Mighty and Majestic Created Adam -as , He -azwj Commanded the Angels that they should do Sajdah to him -as , and did not Command them for the Sajdah except for our -asws sake. So all of the Angels did Sajdah except for Iblees -la , for he -la refused to do Sajdah.

فقال الله تبارك و تعالى: يا إِبْلِيسُ ما مَنَعَكَ أَنْ تَسْجُدَ لِما خَلَقْتُ بِيَدَيَّ أَسْتَكْبَرْتَ أَمْ كُنْتَ مِنَ الْعالِينَ قال: من هؤلاء الخمسة المكتوبة أسماؤهم في سرادق العرش، Therefore Allah -azwj Blessed and Exalted Said: “O Iblees! What prevented you from doing Sajdah to what I Created by My Hands? Were you arrogant or were you from the exalted ones?” [38:75] . The ones whose names are Inscribed in the Pavilions of the Throne”.

فنحن باب الله الذي يؤتى منه، بنا يهتدي المهتدون، فمن أحبنا أحبه الله، و أسكنه جنته، و من أبغضنا أبغضه الله، و أسكنه ناره، و لا يحبنا إلا من طاب مولده Thus, we -asws are the Doors of Allah -azwj which are from Him -azwj . It is by us -asws that the guided ones are guided by. The one who loves us -asws loves Allah -azwj , and He -azwj will Settle him in His -azwj Paradise, and the one who hates us -asws hates Allah -azwj , and He -azwj will Settle him in His -azwj Fire.

And no one would loves us -asws except if he is of a good birth’.
