42:5

تَكَادُ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٲتُ يَتَفَطَّرۡنَ مِن فَوۡقِهِنَّ‌ۚ وَٱلۡمَلَـٰٓٮِٕكَةُ يُسَبِّحُونَ بِحَمۡدِ رَبِّہِمۡ وَيَسۡتَغۡفِرُونَ لِمَن فِى ٱلۡأَرۡضِ‌ۗ أَلَآ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ هُوَ ٱلۡغَفُورُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ ٥

The Heavens above them almost shatter, out of reverence for Him, and the angels praise and glorify their Lord, and they ask forgiveness for those (the believers) on Earth. Absolutely, ALLAH is the Forgiver, Most Merciful.

Proofs and revelations

42:5: Also see verse 40:7.

 

Both these verses teach us that the angels have fully submitted to their Lord and they worry and care for the human beings on Earth and implore Allah to forgive those who believe and they also ask forgiveness for those (the believers) on Earth. 

 

The Proof:

 

40:7 Part: And they (the angels) ask forgiveness for those who believe: "Our Lord, Your mercy and Your knowledge encompass all things. Forgive those who repent and follow Your path, and spare them the retribution of Hell.

 

42:5 Part: And the angels praise and glorify their Lord, and they ask forgiveness for those (the believers) on Earth. Absolutely, ALLAH is the Forgiver, Most Merciful.

 

Revealed: The Allah letters are 21 and 22, revealing the diff. of 1. The Supreme Revelation of 1 proves that the angels really care for the believers on Earth and and pray to Allah for His Mercy and to spare them the retribution of Hell, once they submit and follow His path.

Revealed: The Aleefs of Absoluteness are 11 and 9, revealing the diff. of 2 for idolatry. This revelation refers to the gross sin of idolatry that the human beings committed against their Lord to challenge His Absolute Authority during their first life in Paradise.

 

40:7 Part: And they (the angels) ask forgiveness for those who believe: "Our Lord, Your mercy and Your knowledge encompass all things. Forgive those who repent and follow Your path, and spare them the retribution of Hell.

 

42:5 Part: And the angels praise and glorify their Lord, and they ask forgiveness for those (the believers) on Earth.

 

Revealed: The messenger’s letters are 44 and 25, revealing the diff. of 19. The profound Revelation of 19 through the messenger’s letters confirm the righteous role played by the angels in asking forgiveness from their Lord for the believers on Earth.
