The Qudrat of Allah 

No mind can ever imagine the stupendous Qudrat (Power) of Allah Azza wa Jal. Hadhrat Ali Bin Abi Talib (Radhiyallahu anhu) narrated that there is one being whose name is Rooh. Allah Ta’ala has created him with 70,000 mouths. In every mouth there are 70,000 tongues. Every tongue has 70,000 lughaat (dialects). This wonderful being recites the Tasbeeh of Allah Azza wa Jal with all his tongues and dialects.

With every Tasbeeh emanating from Rooh (Alaihis salaam), Allah creates an Angel who will fly around among the Malaaikah until the Day of Qiyaamah. Subhanallah!

According to Hadhrat Ibn Abbas (Radhiyallahu anhu), Rooh has 10,000 wings. According to Hadhrat Mujahid (Rahmatullahi alaih), Rooh (Alaihis salaam) is not an angel. He has the form of a human being but is not human. He also eats and drinks. He is an entirely different and unique creation of Allah.

Besides this wonderful and gigantic being called Rooh (Alaihis salaam), Rasulullah (Sallallahu alaihi wasallam) explained that Rooh is a creation apart from the Malaaikah. The term Rooh in this context is used in the same way as the word ‘man’ which refers to entire mankind. They dwell among the Malaaikah. They have features and limbs like human beings, and they descend to earth with the Malaaikah who are despatched by Allah Ta’ala on a variety of errands and duties.

Hadhrat Abdullah Bin Buraidah (Radhiyallahu anhu) narrated that the combined number, the total of human beings, jinn and malaaikah is less than the number of the species called Rooh. They do not constitute even one tenth of the species of Rooh. Here rooh does not mean soul. It is a different species of creation. Just as the jinn are invisible to human beings, so too are the Rooh invisible to the Malaaikah.

Further, there is another species of Allah’s creation called Karoobi. In number, Karoobi is ten times more than Rooh. Only Allah Azza wa Jal knows what else abounds in His creation.
