Make Angels Your Companions

Make Angels Your Companions means that when a person discovers the existence of God, he consequently adopts a God-oriented life in the real sense of the word. That is, he adopts God-oriented thinking, a God-oriented approach, God-oriented behaviour, and so on. In short, he develops a divine character. God becomes his sole concern. The second condition laid down in the Quran is that the believer should remain steadfast. It means that he should become so cautious about his new decision that he makes every effort not to deviate from the divine path and endeavours to save himself from all kinds of distraction. This second condition means that the person concerned is completely in earnest about his decision to wholeheartedly accept God as the sole focus of his worship. It is the angels who guide them from the present world to the world hereafter. They lead them onwards, day and night, until they reach the final destination, that is, Paradise. These two conditions are a major part of rab culture, or divine culture. Those who adopt this culture in all seriousness will instantly find the angels descending upon them. Although this experience remains unseen, anyone who seriously adopts this culture feels that he has begun receiving its benefits in terms of solace, peace of mind and a tension-free life. He finds himself completely free of negative thoughts and develops into a positive personality in the fullest sense of the word. When one has this kind of experience, one cannot be other than convinced that one has the companionship of angels, and is therefore able to lead a divine life on a path which leads directly to Paradise.
