                 The Angels' Glad Tidings


                    However, his guests did not eat the
               food placed before them, because:
                    When he saw that their hands were not
                    reaching for it, he suspected them and felt
                    afraid of them. They said: "Have no fear. We
                    have been sent to the tribe of Lot." (Surah
                     Hud: 70)
                            The way that his guests declined

                        to eat, even though he had treated
                        them very warmly and offered them
                        food, showed the Prophet Abraham
                        (pbuh) that something extraordinary
                      was happening. These angels, who came
                  to him in human guise, displayed a most noble
               and blameless morality. Indeed, he treated them
               with such enormous hospitality because he realized
               that they were most worthy guests. The angels then revealed

               their true identities and gave him the glad tidings of a right-
               eous son:
                    When they came in to him, they said: "Peace." He replied:
                    "Truly we are afraid of you." They said: "Do not be afraid.
                    We bring you the good news of a boy of great knowledge."
                    (Surat al-Hijr: 52-53)
