Beacon Of Guidance
We learn from the hadith that when the Holy Prophet (sa) received divine revelation, he would experience such a condition that he would begin to sweat despite the cold weather. My question is that why did the Holy Prophet (sa) experience such a condition and did he experience any pain?
Also, when the Promised Messiah (as) received revelation, did he also experience a similar condition? When angels bring down revelation, it is a time for the manifestation of the grandeur and glory of Allah the Almighty, and it is prophets who fear this the most.
And when angels bring down the revelation (from Allah the Almighty), it is such a heavy burden that one is left trembling. A person who has true knowledge about this matter will have the most understanding of this, and this is the reason why the Holy Prophet (sa) would be overcome with this state.
The Holy Prophet (sa) would say that when he would receive revelation from Allah the Almighty, it would seem as if a ton of weight was placed on top of him owing to the message brought by the angels. The burden of the revelation is so great
That a person who has the true cognisance of God Almighty in their heart would begin to tremble. And prophets have the most understanding in this regard. For this reason, the Holy Prophet (sa) would be overcome by such a state. The same was the case with the Promised Messiah (as),
Although he cannot reach the same rank as the Holy Prophet (sa), but when the Promised Messiah (as) received revelation his body would begin to tremble greatly and one would understand from his condition that he was receiving a revelation. The more powerful the revelation, the more his body would succumb to this state.
For a short time after it, he would feel weak and then slowly that state would begin to fade away.
