Angles 173 that the Christians should believe firmly that from the moment that the Holy Spirit descended on Jesus it never departed from him and that he was supported every moment by the Holy Spirit, so much so, that it did not depart from him even in his sleep and that it never ascended to heaven leaving him alone and deserted and that the light of the Holy Spirit never departed from him for a moment; and that the Muslims should believe that the. Holy Spirit some times separated himself from the Holy. Prophet (peace and blessings of Allāh be on him). [Ã'ina-e-Kamālāt-e-Islām, Rūḥānī Khazā'in, vol. 5, pp. 72-75]. Angels Descend with the Advent of a Khalifah. Someone might wonder what is the meaning of the descent of angels? It is the way of Allāh that when a. Messenger or a Prophet or a Muḥaddath descends from heaven for the reform of people, such angels descend with him who convey guidance to eager hearts and incline them towards good, and they continue their descent till the darkness of disbelief and misguidance is removed and the dawn of faith and righteousness appears. As Allāh the Glorious says: تنَزِّلُ الْمَلئِكَةُ وَالرُّوحُ فِيهَا بِإِذْنِ رَبِّهِمْ مِنْ كُلِّ امْرِه سلم هِيَ حَتَّى مَطْلَعِ الْفَجْرِه 47. Thus the descent of angels and of the Holy Spirit from heaven takes place when a great personality invested with the robe of Khilafat and honoured with the word of God descends to the earth. Such a one is specially bestowed 47 *Therein descend angels and the Spirit with their Lord's decrees concerning everything. Peace - so will it be even at the rising of the dawn.
