BAITUL MA’MUR (THE FREQUENTED HOUSE)

Baitul Ma’mur (الْبَيْتِ الْمَعْمُورِ), the “Frequented House”. The angels make Tawaf (circumambulation) to this House just like we humans make Hajj or Umrah to the Holy Ka’aba. The Ka’aba on earth is a replica of it. Angels perform prayer in the Bait-ul-Ma’mur.

Every single day, seventy thousand (70,000) angels visits it fo circumambulation. This will continue on until the Day of Resurrection.

The house itself is also mentioned in Qur'an.

Allah says;

وَٱلْبَيْتِ ٱلْمَعْمُورِ 

“And by the Bait-ul-Ma'mur (the frequented House).”  Surah At-Tur 52:4.

Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) also mentioned it in the narration of his journey to the heaven (Isra' wal Mira'aj).

"Then I was shown Al-Bait-al-Ma’mur (i.e. Allah’s House). I asked Gabriel about it and he said, This is Al Bait-ul-Ma’mur where 70,000 angels perform prayers daily and when they leave, they never return to it (but always a fresh batch of angels comes into it daily)."  Sahih Al-Bukhari 3207 and  Sahih Muslim 164.

He also said, Then the Bait-ul-Ma’mur was raised up to me. I said: O Gabriel! what is this? He replied: It is the Bait-ul-Ma’mur. Seventy thousand (70,000) angels enter into it daily and, after they come out, they never return again. Two vessels were then brought to me. The first one contained wine and the second one contained milk, and both of them were placed before me. I chose milk. It was said: You did right. Allah will guide rightly through you your Ummah on the natural course.......

And then he narrated the rest of the hadith to the end.”  Sahih al-Bukhari 3207 and  Sahih Muslim 164

SUMMARY

This indicates their great numbers (of angels) and that only Allah knows how many they are. Hence, we must believe in them generally and specifically as honored creation, not humans or Jinn, but as creatures created from light as related in numerous hadith.

It is a Masjid like the Kabah, above seven skies. The angels visit it, pray in it, and do Tawaf (circumambulation). Each day, a fresh batch of 70,000 angels comes to it. Till the Day of Judgement the same batch of angels will not get a chance to return to it again. Haven known how mighty and powerful the work force of Allah, how powerful must Allah (subhana wa ta’ala) be?
