They are created form light...

And it is a testimony to their infallibility...

So they do have a physical presence...

Except that there are angels the size of mountains that are praying with you!

You think you're in a room all by yourself? You've got angelic creatures the size of mountains...

that are there praying with you, that are there glorifying Allah with you.

All right, what about an angel that has a bigger task?

Prophet saw says, I've been given permission to tell you about just one of those angels.

One of the angels who bears the throne of Allah swt...

The distance between his earlobe and his shoulder is a journey of 700 years.

If a bird was flying continuously for 700 years, he'd only make it from here to here...

The greater the task the angel has been given... 

the greater the size of the angel.

So that tells you right away that Jibril a.s. is even bigger than that.

He is the biggest of the angels and the greatest in size...

because he has the greatest of tasks.

He belongs to what is known as the most elite class of the Malaika.

Because he brings revelation... 

and through revelation...

our hearts live.
