Omar Suleiman – The Beginning And The End – EP 28 Offending the Angels

			There's a very famous incident where the Prophet slicin and was sitting with Abu Bakr so do follow
the law of title. And a man came and he started to insult them. Now the Prophet, sly subtler, you
know, has this incredible bandwidth of a forbearance right, he can tolerate so much. And we see this
frequent in the seat of the profit slice lm where someone comes to him and says things to him, that
none of the companions can tolerate, but the profit slice them can tolerate. So they're sitting
there and this man keeps going on and on and on. And the prophets lie Selim is, you know, is holding
it in our back kettle, the alongside and who is also a very forbearing person, he can't take it
		

			anymore. So we'll make it on the line who, especially as the man insults, the Prophet slicin, stands
up and starts to respond, and the Prophet so I sent him he simply gets up and he leaves back and
goes to the profits license after that, fearing that he offended the Prophet sallallahu Sallam and
also last by Salaam. He says that before you spoke, Allah subhana wa tada sent an angel, that that
was to respond on our behalf. As soon as you started to defend us, a loss of the angel went away,
and a shape bond came and sat there and said, a devil came and sat there and said, and the Prophet
slicin, I'm so glad I did not want to sit in the presence of the devil in the presence of that shade
		

			bond. Now Subhanallah, what that teaches us is there are certain things that offend the angels,
certain things that make them go away. Now, the angels that right, they're not going anywhere, no
matter what you do, they will write down every curse word, every nasty thing that you say or do. And
though it's offensive, they will write it because they have to write it. But there are other angels,
angels of mercy, the ones we've been talking about, that come when you do the kid, when you remember
a lot when you do, the harder when you do when you pray, those angels will go away from you. And
instead they will be replaced by sailplane. So it's important for us to think, you know, what are we
		

			doing to offend the angels as well, you know, what are we doing to send them away? What are we
making the ones that have to write right down? And are we ashamed of that. And so Subhanallah we
find anger and foul language and sin and all of these different forms of corruption and
disobedience. They send them away. Not only that, but the Prophet slicin. I mentioned that there are
things that physically repulsed the angels as well. And particularly the prophets lie. Some taught
us not to eat garlic or onion before we come to the masjid. One of the biggest last sentences of the
message is good breath using the sidewalk before the prayer brushing your teeth before the prayer,
		

			having good breath, right. And the prophets I said, um, he instructed us and he said, Salalah Hardy,
who was Salam as well in America to other mimir to add them in one masala and that look, even the
angels are affected by that which affects those who pray, the angels also don't like bad breath.
They don't like to smell that garlic or that onion. It also loss ice and I'm said not to spit to
your right side when you pray because there's an angel that would be there. So you don't want to
harm them or offend them not, you can't physically harm them and don't do anything to offend them.
Now, even on the spiritual side of this all, you know, there's a very beautiful statement that's
		

			attributed to Sofia nfld Rahim Allah to Allah, that he was asked, How do the angels know that a
person intends a good or an evil deed? You know, because obviously, there are certain things that
Allah subhanaw taala alone has access to. So how do they know when a person intends good or evil?
You know, when he said, he said, when someone intends to do good, Allah subhanaw taala causes a
sense of musk to start coming from him that only the angels can smell. And when a person intends
evil, that person starts to smell that, that and the angels smell that and so the angels already
kind of have an indication, based upon that smell what you're about to do. And you know, there's a
		

			very famous statement from from one of the tiberi, who said that if Sims had a smell, then he
wouldn't want to sit next to me. So how not to the angels, it could be that they literally have that
smell, then you have a narration that I hesitate. You know, I don't mention this when I teach the
story of jabril anymore, because it opens up a can of worms, and any of you who have taken that
class, you know that I'm already you know, very, very limited by my time. And by even saying that
narration I opened up so much and just people get confused for the rest of the night. So very famous
Hadith, that jabril alayhis salam did not enter the house of the prophets lie Selim. Because the
		

			prophets lie Selim had a sculpture and he had a dog that was under the bed of he saw the love or
belonged to an Heston or a saint or the love and humor are so on so forth. And to read it Salaam
said that look, the angels do not enter a house that has dogs or or SWAT pictures, drawing sculpture
so on so forth. Now, that Hadeeth raises many many issues for us, right? Number one, look if there
is any house that the angels would enter despite something that they usually don't enter, it would
have been the house of the prophets license so even the house of the prophets I send them was not
entered by Julian it his Salaam in that situation.
		

			Number two, I mean, are we a dog hating religion? Right? Absolutely not. Okay. In fact, we know the
Hadith, of a of a woman that entered into paradise because she gave water to a thirsty dog. The
prophets lie Selim, you know, said that a person could keep a hunting dog, a person could keep a dog
that guards property or so on so forth. This is obviously not a dog hating religion, per se, the
only thing we're prohibited from is keeping a dog within the home because of you know, impurities.
Not that a dog is an impure animals, not an unjust animal, but the saliva is impure. So if the
saliva gets on you, you have to remove that an adjuster, you have to remove that impurity and so on,
		

			so forth. What about pictures, pictures, sewer, obviously, in that time, you know, there is no such
thing as photography, it refers to sculptures and drawings and things of that sort. That's what
testsuite actually meant at that time. Now, obviously, if you're keeping pictures, or to sweep, you
know, drawings, or so on so forth of living beings, at a high place, or in a place that it commands
some form of respect, that's what the prohibition includes. So the prohibition won't include, like a
photo album, or something that's on the carpet, or kids dolls, or toys, and things of that sort,
it's referring to pictures that are held in honor. So either they're drawing, right or they're
		

			sculpted, or even photography, if it's put in that same place, then it would take the same ruling.
Now also, is it that the angels are forbidden, you know, altogether from entering? Does that mean
that if I don't want my angels to write down something I'm about to do, I'm gonna put up a picture
so that way, the angels that write will leave know those angels are saying, these, this is clearly
referring to melodica Tawana, the angels of mercy, those are the ones that would not enter. And
somehow I looked for an explanation on the dogs and somehow, like you find many, many, many
different explanations. And this is just something obviously, that you say a lot has messengers lie
		

			seldom know best. So you know, whether it's the explanation, that that some dogs might be might have
jinn inside of them might have possession. And that's why the angels could not be there, just as
they would not sit in the presence of God. And it could be that it could be the Ninjago factor the
impurity of the saliva, it could be that the angels obviously occupy a very high space and so that
would be beneath them. Allah knows best we don't delve into that. But don't do anything. You know,
that's going to cause the angels to not be around you. And that's going to offend them and stop them
from coming either around you or in your house.
