Rights of the Malaaikah
Reading Time: < 1 minute
- To believe in their existence.
- To understand that they are sinless.
- To say, Alaihis Salaam, with the name of any of them.
- It is hurtful to the Malaaikah for a person to come to the Masjid with a bad odour emanating from his mouth due to eating such a food. Similarly, the Malaaikah are hurt when a person passes wind in the Masjid. Therefore, these should be refrained from.
- It is incumbent to abstain from things which the Malaaikah are pained and disgusted at, such as:
- Keeping pictures (of animate objects)
- Keeping a dog as a pet
- Remaining in the state of janaabat out of indolence and ruining one’s Namaaz
- Becoming naked without any Shar’i or natural need, even though one may be alone.
