Jumu`ah Khutbah
(Khutbah in progress. )
... But they don’t know they are entertaining the Shaytan within themselves; it’s not them who are happy, but the Shaytan within themselves is happy because he takes them away from Allah’s (swt) `ibadah and makes them to smell like that [bad smell from smoking marijuana].
Prophet (s) was praying Taraweeh one day in Ramadan and Jibreel (a) descended but didn’t come directly to Prophet (s), and said, “Yaa Rasoolullah, I cannot come because there is a bad smell here.”
Prophet (s) said, “There is no bad smell here.”
Jibreel (a) said, “Yes, there is a bad smell; angels cannot carry the smell of that thing that is being used by the Sahaabah. You have to order those Sahaabah who have that smell to leave in order that I can come with that tajalli, the Manifestation that Allah is sending for you for Taraweeh.”
So Prophet (s) ordered the Sahaabah who had that bad smell to leave, as their food was mixed with raw onion and raw garlic and from that smell angels were not able to come to bring the tajalli on Prophet (s) and, as they were not able to take the tajalli when they recite that recitation blended with that smell, angels cannot take it and bring it up to Heavens until Prophet (s) ordered those who ate raw garlic and raw onions to leave.
But they did not leave out of their love to Prophet (s), so he ordered Sayyidina `Umar (r), who is very well known for his tough strength, who said, “I am going to smell you all one by one! Stand in front of me and blow out and I will check you.” So the Sahaabah (r) saw that and those who had eaten raw onion and raw garlic were afraid and left, in order that the angels can come. And since they missed being present, Prophet (s) sent them the tajalli that descended there.
So today Shaytan is playing. Grandshaykh `AbdAllah, may Allah bless his soul, said that there is a type of Shaytan that came on Earth from his time, is Hasqu ’z-Zanadeel this type of `ifreet of jinn are the heaviest and the worst of them, so they mix; they make fitna between husband and wife, father and mother, children. All these fitna that you see on Earth is coming from these devils, especially the fitna of the Internet today. Don’t give me any excuse, don’t tell me you are not watching something that is not accepted. Make sure your children, they must not mix with others and keep them from smoking. That is the worst that you are doing because it’s harming the body, harming the mind, it’s harming everything. We have to be very careful on that.
I saw some people in India, they asked me, “Please what should I do?” Not only one but many came to me, similarly in Indonesia, the Middle East, and similarly here and in Chicago, it’s everywhere! But we try, we are not like those people, we are people who decided to take the Way of Paradise. So if you decide to take the Way of Paradise, that’s how you take the Way: avoid any kind of problems or any kind of bad smell.
Grandshaykh `AbdAllah (q), Subhaanallah, how much he was against smoking! He said he used to sit on his bed that was by the window, under which there is an alley where people passed. He said, “Shaytan knows how much I hate the smell of smoking from someone that passes under my window and even from one-hundred meters or one-kilometer away Shaytan brings that smell in my nose to make me angry.”
So be careful, because I am seeing this is something mustashra, widespread, and when you say to someone, “Don’t do that,” they say, “This one is doing it, that one is doing it.” Don’t imitate others [in bad deeds]! If others want to be punished, don’t punish yourself by participating in any kind of entertainment, not only smoking, but anything. May Allah (swt) protect us.
[Arabic recitation of khutbah.]
I have to say, from Mawlana (q) this is coming, that alhamdulillah that khitaab is not for you, because you are decent people, you are alhamdulillah people who are on the right way, you are with the Naqshbandi Order that all Sufi shaykhs are asking for, especially when we went to Bangalore, India, where they said, “We are all Naqshbandis,” and they love the Naqshbandi Way. So mashaaAllah all of you here are Naqshbandi and all of you are of high caliber and mashaaAllah Allah is rewarding you. That khitaab is for everyone on the Internet and everywhere, even here, but here [in this majlis] we know that there is no one doing that.
May Allah forgive us. Wa ’s-salaamu `alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakaatuh.
