The pulpit's discourse.

Homes that the angels do not enter.
0:14
A sermon by the honorable Sheikh,
0:17
Khalid Ibn ‘Abdullah al-Hammudi,
0:19
May Allah preserve him.
0:22
Praise be to Allah, whose light illuminates the horizons,
0:28
Who has blessed the believers with noble character,
0:32
And whose mercy is manifested unto them
0:34
When their souls reach their collarbones.
0:39
We praise Him and seek His aid
0:41
Through hardships and difficulties,
0:45
And we seek refuge in the light of His noble countenance
0:48
From doubt, polytheism, and discord.
0:52
We ask Him for safety
0:53
From hypocrisy and poor character.
0:57
I bear witness that there is no deity but Allah alone,
1:01
With no partner unto Him,
1:04
“All that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth glorifieth Allah; unto Him belongeth Sovereignty and unto Him belongeth praise, and He is Able to do all things.” (64:1)
1:05
And He is capable of all things.
1:08
Allah relieves distress,
1:13
Removes anguish,
1:15
And promises the patient victory and relief.
1:20
So be patient, O servant of Allah,
1:22
In this life, and persevere.
1:25
How many a hardship has brought tears to eyes,
1:30
Yet the Generous One eased it for us, and it passed.
1:34
How many a need seemed like a mirage,
1:37
Yet Allah willed its attainment, and it arrived.
1:41
How often have we tasted bitterness from circumstances,
1:45
Yet despite the harshness of the days, they softened.
1:49
This is the world, and we have affairs within it;
1:54
If you adorn it with patience, it becomes beautiful.
1:58
I bear witness that our master, our prophet,
2:02
And our beloved, Muhammad, is the servant of Allah and His messenger,
2:05
His chosen one and His intimate friend,
2:08
The possessor of the promised Basin,
2:11
The raised banner,
2:14
And the praised station.
2:17
All of life smiled at his hadith,
2:21
And through his guidance, the rain of benevolence poured down.
2:26
May the peace of Allah be upon you, O you whose mention
2:29
Is a fragrance that the breeze spreads when it travels.
2:35
O Allah, send peace, blessings, and increase upon
2:39
Your servant, messenger, prophet, and beloved, Muhammad,
2:44
And upon his family and his Companions,
2:47
And whoever is guided by his guidance,
2:49
Follows his Sunnah, and treads his path,
2:53
And grant him abundant peace until the Day of Judgment.
2:57
To proceed, O servants of Allah:
2:59
I advise you and myself to fear Allah.
3:02
O you who have believed, fear Allah,
3:05
And speak a word that is right.
3:08
He will amend for you your deeds
3:10
And forgive you your sins.
3:13
And whoever obeys Allah and His messenger,
3:15
“He will adjust your works for you and will forgive you your sins. Whosoever obeyeth Allah and His messenger, he verily hath gained a signal victory.” (33:71)
3:18
O noble ones,
3:20
We spoke last Friday
3:24
About homes that the angels do not enter.
3:29
And how a house,
3:31
If deprived of the entry of angels,
3:34
May cause its inhabitants misery,
3:36
As it becomes an open door for the devils.
3:41
We mentioned three homes that the angels do not enter,
3:45
And by angels, we mean the angels of mercy,
3:51
Blessing, and seeking forgiveness.
3:54
Otherwise, there are angels
3:57
Who never depart from the children of Adam,
4:00
Namely the noble recording angels,
4:03
And the Angel of Death
4:05
When the hour arrives.
4:08
We ask Allah to grant us and you a good ending.
4:12
We said the first house
4:14
That the angels do not enter
4:17
Is the house of the one who severs ties of kinship,
4:19
Then the one who is undutiful to his parents,
4:22
Then the house that contains a dog, may Allah honor you.
4:27
Today, we continue the discussion on homes that the angels do not enter.
4:34
Among the homes that the angels do not enter
4:40
Is the house of the one who consumes the wealth of the orphan,
4:43
And the one who consumes people's wealth unjustly and aggressively.
4:47
Indeed, the angels of mercy, O servants of Allah,
4:50
Are furthest from the man
4:55
Who transgresses against the wealth of orphans,
4:59
The poor, and the needy,
5:02
Consuming it at their expense.
5:05
Allah, the Almighty, has threatened
5:08
Those who consume the wealth of people
5:11
And orphans unjustly.
5:14
He has threatened them with two punishments,
5:17
Each more severe than the other.
5:20
The first is that they will enter the Fire,
5:24
And what an evil destination.
5:26
The Almighty said:
5:28
"Indeed, those who consume the wealth of orphans unjustly..."
5:33
“Lo! Those who devour the wealth of orphans wrongfully, they do but swallow fire into their bellies, and they will be exposed to burning flame.” (4:10)
5:38
"...will burn in a blazing Fire."
5:41
The second, as some scholars say,
5:44
Is that consuming the wealth of the orphan
5:47
Is a cause for an evil ending, we seek refuge in Allah.
5:51
Allah, the Exalted, has warned—
5:54
Allah, the Almighty, has warned
5:57
Regarding the confirmed right of orphans and the poor,
6:02
And the need for greater care for them,
6:04
By His saying:
6:06
"And let those fear [injustice] who, if they had left behind them..."
6:10
"...weak offspring..."
6:12
"...would be afraid for them."
6:14
So let them fear Allah,
6:18
And let them speak a word that is right.
6:21
The Prophet, peace be upon him, warned
6:25
Against consuming the wealth of orphans,
6:27
And considered it one of the destructive sins.
6:30
On the authority of Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him,
6:33
That the Prophet, peace be upon him, said:
6:37
"Avoid the seven destructive sins:
6:40
Polytheism with Allah,
6:42
Sorcery,
6:43
Killing a soul which Allah has forbidden, except by right,
6:47
Consuming usury,
6:49
Consuming the wealth of the orphan,
6:51
Fleeing from the battlefield,
6:53
And slandering chaste, believing, innocent women."
6:57
So let him fear Allah,
6:59
Let him fear Allah, the one who dares to consume the wealth of an orphan.
7:03
For this is forbidden,
7:05
And every body nourished by the forbidden,
7:09
The Fire is more worthy of it.
7:11
O you whom Allah, the Almighty, has entrusted
7:14
With the rights of others,
7:16
Fear Allah regarding them.
7:18
For today is action without reckoning,
7:21
And tomorrow is reckoning without action.
7:25
Among the homes that the angels do not enter
7:29
Is a house that contains foul odors.
7:33
It has been reported in more than one hadith
7:36
That the angels
7:38
Are offended by what offends the children of Adam.
7:42
And in one narration:
7:43
"They are offended by what offends humans."
7:47
So every foul odor
7:50
Repels the angels
7:52
And keeps them away.
7:54
So be careful, O servant of Allah,
7:56
That your house be clean and pleasant.
8:00
Likewise,
8:01
Your own scent must be pleasant
8:04
So that the angels may accompany you.
8:06
The Prophet, peace be upon him, advised us
8:10
To use perfume,
8:12
Encouraged us to do so,
8:13
And urged us toward it.
8:15
He, peace be upon him, said:
8:18
"Perfume and women have been made beloved to me from your world."
8:23
And the Prophet, peace be upon him,
8:26
Whoever saw him
8:27
Would think he was a perfume seller
8:30
Because of the abundance of perfume he used.
8:33
Servants of Allah,
8:34
Many people
8:36
Do not care about this matter,
8:39
So you find the scent of some houses
8:42
Is not pleasant.
8:43
And among the most common odors
8:45
With which Muslims pollute their homes
8:48
Is the smell of smoke.
8:50
If the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him,
8:54
Forbade us
8:55
From approaching garlic and onions
8:58
Except after cooking them,
9:00
Because they have a foul odor
9:03
By which the angels are offended,
9:06
Then the smell of smoke
9:08
Is more offensive than the smell of garlic and onions,
9:11
Not to mention
9:13
That eating garlic and onions
9:16
Has no harm
9:18
From a health perspective;
9:20
Rather, it has many benefits,
9:23
Unlike smoke,
9:25
Which is entirely harmful.
9:27
We ask Allah
9:29
To grant health to everyone afflicted by that.
9:32
Among the things that offend the angels
9:35
Is the smell of stagnant urine.
9:38
For urine,
9:40
If left for a time in the house,
9:42
Produces a foul, repulsive odor.
9:45
The Prophet, peace be upon him, forbade
9:48
That,
9:50
And then provided the reason, saying:
9:52
"Indeed, the angels
9:54
Do not enter a house
9:56
In which there is stagnant urine."
9:58
Narrated by al-Tabarani,
10:00
And authenticated by al-Albani.
10:02
That one should urinate in a vessel
10:04
And leave it for a long time,
10:07
For that is a cause for a foul odor,
10:10
And the angels
10:12
You are harmed by that.
10:14
For that was something which existed within the homes.
10:16
Indeed, we
10:18
It is urinated in.
10:20
Because public baths
10:22
They were not present in the homes.
10:24
Or in the bedrooms.
10:26
Such is our situation today.
10:28
Rather, it was taking place outside.
10:30
The evidence for this is as follows:
10:32
Avoiding the retention of urine for an extended period.
10:34
So that it does not leave behind an unpleasant odor.
10:36
It becomes a cause.
10:38
Regarding the angels not entering.
10:40
The house
10:42
Islam is a religion of purity.
10:44
And the religion is one of cleanliness.
10:46
Rather, it is in that.
10:48
And more comprehensive than that is
10:50
Allah has praised in His Book
10:52
upon those who purify themselves.
10:54
Let us be diligent in maintaining the cleanliness of our homes.
10:56
And our own selves.
10:58
So that Allah may love us.
11:00
He, glory be to Him, said:
11:02
Indeed, Allah
11:04
He loves those who constantly repent.
11:06
And He loves those who purify themselves.
11:08
May Allah bless me and you through the Magnificent Qur'an.
11:10
May Allah grant me and you benefit from it.
11:12
containing within it the verses and the Wise Reminder.
11:14
I say this, and I ask Allah to forgive what you have heard.
11:16
I seek forgiveness from Allah for myself and for you, so seek His forgiveness.
11:18
Indeed, He is the All-Forgiving, the Most Merciful.
11:20
All praise is due to Allah.
11:25
And I bear witness that there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah.
11:27
And I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.
11:30
The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.
11:32
May the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.
11:34
To proceed:
11:36
Servants of Allah
11:39
In the religion of Islam, homes possess a sacred sanctity.
11:42
And there is much of
11:44
The etiquette prescribed by the Shari'ah
11:46
which is incumbent upon us
11:48
Knowing it in relation to our own stations.
11:50
Perhaps what we have mentioned
11:52
A portion of it.
11:55
So fear Allah, O servants of Allah.
11:57
For the departure of the angels
11:59
For the homes of the Muslims
12:01
It is considered a source of misery for his family.
12:04
And keeping the company of the angels.
12:06
For the human being.
12:08
For the sake of the blessings of Allah
12:10
And may the mercy of Allah be upon His servants.
12:12
And among the mercies of Allah
12:14
Exalted is He in His loftiness.
12:16
for His servants
12:18
that He appointed the bearers of the Throne
12:20
And those around them
12:22
They seek forgiveness for the believers.
12:24
Those who repent.
12:26
Listen, O servant of Allah.
12:28
Listen, may Allah protect you, and reflect.
12:30
Allah, glorified be He, says:
12:32
Those who bear the Throne
12:34
And those around him
12:36
They glorify their Lord with His praise.
12:38
And they believe in him.
12:40
And they seek forgiveness for those who have believed.
12:43
And they seek forgiveness for those who have believed.
12:46
Our Lord.
12:48
[He] encompasses all things.
12:50
[He was] a source of mercy and knowledge.
12:52
So forgive those who have repented.
12:54
And they followed your path.
12:56
And protect them from the punishment of the Hellfire.
12:58
Our Lord.
13:00
And He shall admit them into the Gardens of Eden.
13:02
which He promised them
13:04
And whoever is righteous
13:06
from their fathers
13:08
And their spouses.
13:10
And their descendants.
13:12
Indeed, You are the All-Mighty, the All-Wise.
13:14
Reflect upon this, may Allah protect you.
13:16
How does one keep the company of the angels?
13:18
And how did Allah, the Almighty and Majestic, subjugate them?
13:20
For the sake of supplication.
13:22
for the believers
13:24
We ask Allah, the Almighty and Majestic.
13:26
May He make us among those who listen.
13:28
The statement is then followed.
13:30
The best of it.
13:32
O Allah, forgive all of our sins.
13:34
O Allah, forgive all of our sins.
13:36
Its subtle and its manifest aspects.
13:38
Its beginning and its end.
13:40
Both its jest and its seriousness.
13:42
What we have learned from him.
13:44
And that which we do not know
13:46
Indeed, You are the Knower of the unseen.
13:48
O Allah, forgive the sins that You have veiled.
13:50
And erase the sins of what people have come to know of them.
13:52
And he taught it to her.
13:54
O Allah, You know our faults.
13:56
So conceal it.
13:58
And You know our deeds, so accept them.
14:00
Our needs are many, so fulfill them, O Fulfiller of all needs.
14:02
O Allah, forgive us.
14:04
May Allah forgive all of our sins.
14:06
O Allah, adorn us with Your beautiful covering.
14:08
And place it beneath the veil.
14:10
a righteous deed that You are pleased with.
14:12
O Allah, cover us while we are upon the earth.
14:14
And conceal us beneath the earth.
14:16
And conceal our faults on the Day of Presentation.
14:18
O Allah, O Possessor of Majesty and Honor.
14:20
O Allah, O Hearer of supplications.
14:22
Just as He has brought us together upon these carpets.
14:24
Gather us beneath Your Throne.
14:26
Brothers who love one another for the sake of Allah.
14:28
Upon thrones, facing one another.
14:30
O Allah, we ask You
14:32
Your pleasure and Paradise.
14:34
And we seek refuge in You from Your displeasure and from the Fire.
14:36
O Allah, grant us security in our homelands.
14:38
And rectify our leaders.
14:40
And those in authority over us.
14:42
And grant victory to our soldiers stationed at the borders.
14:44
And grant victory to our oppressed brothers.
14:46
In every place.
14:48
O Allah, we have called upon You in our distress, just as You have commanded us.
14:50
So answer us, just as You have promised us.
14:52
“Glorified be thy Lord, the Lord of Majesty, from that which they attribute (unto Him)” (37:180)
14:54
of what they describe
14:56
And praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds.
