Ahmad Kutty – Daily Duaa June 4th, 2021

My dear brothers and sisters, it's my honor

once again

to welcome you to another episode in our

series of duas to power your day.

We are at Refraction Sonar's Small Husna.

And today, we plan to reflect

on the following most beautiful names

of Allah

namely Al Qabil, the Withholder,

Albasid, the extender,

Al Hafiz

Al Hafiz,

the

baser, and Raphael, the exaltor.

And, you know, one of the most important

thing

when we are faced with this kind of

names,

Al Qabi al Basit, Al Al

Rafi,

this kind of names, Al Qabi

al Qabi al Qabi al Qabi al Qabi

al Qabi al Qabi al Rafi,

they are contrasting

names that we should not use one without

the other. So Al Kabil,

we should use

Al Kabil with with Al Basit, Al Kabil

with Al Rafi. So they go together because

they

are contrasting

names that are to be juxtaposed,

you know,

praised

opposite to one another

because god alone

is uniquely

attributed,

qualified with such

attributes because he is incomparable.

He is unique.

So you may think it is when it

is referred

when you use them referring to human beings

or creation,

you cannot do so. We cannot juxtapose. You

cannot combine both, treat them as complementary

because

that's not the nature of the creation.

Luxman O'Thal alone is unique,

so he is Al Khav,

Al Abbasid,

he Arafi.

He is

qualified with these unique attributes.

Celebration, we refer to god's actions. You know,

they

they are juxtaposed. They are contrasted.

And in this way, we will be able

to see how

Allah is working with His creation

according to His wisdom and will.

We have this

in Surah 29 verse 62. Allah says,

Allah

God out expands

and straightens provision for whoever he wills. For

some, he expands it,

gives it extensively.

For others,

he stretches it out, narrows it.

So a human being, while referencing this

contrast,

he may be perplexed,

but we should never be perplexed because it

is God doing it, and he does so

according to his wisdom

and knowledge.

There is always a wisdom why

he chooses to give some more

than others. There is a wisdom behind it,

so

condition yourself to, sir, learn the unique

nature of God's sovereignty.

Both names are Khaybel al Basit,

referred to God providing abundance to some while

providing its sparingly to others.

Likewise,

God is also Al Haafil,

the eraser,

and he's also a rafi, the exalter.

So

by reflecting on these names,

we must

know,

you know, how do we implement these names

in our own life.

What's our share

of imbibing the lessons from these names?

Number 1, we must never covet what Allah

has bestowed on others.

We will see somebody super rich,

so we should not covet

because Allah has wisdom. Allah has given this

to him as a test.

Even I deprived you of things I deprived

you, this doesn't mean you should not strive

for the good things. You should strive.

But still, you may find that you are

not getting

what others got

because the world has its wisdom

in depriving you of some of these blessings

even as he has his wisdom in testing

that person with those abundance.

And even mawa allows us to be depressed

over God's powers

for giving powers for some over others. You

will see God is overpowering

some over others.

So when we see that, we should not

say God is unjust.

God has his wisdom in doing so.

And

another point we must learn from this is

we ought to empower ourselves

by seeking the power and strength from the

ultimate source of strength and power, which is

Allah's.

By doing so, we stand to gain.

We must believe firmly that the worldly favors

are simply tests,

and, therefore,

Allah is testing the 1 the super

rich even as he's teaching the, testing the

one who is poor.

So

sometimes,

you know, as Umar Barakatab

said,

we, the companions of the prophet, were tested.

We're poiety.

We were successful.

But when he test us, we're opening

with richness and abundance

when you first fail.

So

this is the way to look at it.

Therefore, the real glory, favor, and success are

based on our fire and destiny in the

hereafter.

The prophet

said,

Many of those who are dust in finery

in this world will be naked in the

next world.

So remember this always,

never covet,

never get carried away,

by

questioning the wisdom of Allah

in the way he deals with his creation.
