Ali Hammuda – A Life with Allah #05 – Al-Jabbr (The Compeller)

			For every opportunity in your life that slips away, Al Jabbar is he who brings about another
		

			for every time your heart broke for something that left you or agonizes for something that has come
to you, a Jabbar is he who brings the pieces of such a hot together again.
		

			If you're still unsure, then your body is here who restores what is lost and repairs what is broken
and carries the bad end. And he is the one who has invited you on i as well as the rest of humanity
to remedy that our pains through him
		

			it Kra or compulsion is one of the shattered meanings of this Majestic Name of Allah al Jabbar which
we translate as the ever restore and ever Compeller
		

			so when the Arabs want to say I forced him they say agile bottle to who the same as three letters of
Jabara. So it has a meaning that revolves around force compelled compulsion, coercion.
		

			And that's why some will translate this name as the other Compeller but another one of its meanings
that's not so commonly discussed is ls la rectification to repair the broken. So when the Arabs want
to say I repaired the broken they say Jabatan Cassia.
		

			Again, you hear the letters of Jabara Jabara to this act of repairing in Arabic is called jumble.
		

			So, what is interesting is that the term algebra is derived from the same root jumble, because you
have to fix the mathematical equation, and the term used to describe a caste, which helps fix broken
bones in Arabic it's called Jebi era again, the here the three letters of Jabara. That's why some
people will translate this Majestic Name as the other restorer
		

			when that's one of the miraculous aspects of this name, that on one hand, it has a meaning of
supreme power of Jabbar the ever Compeller whilst at the same time it carries a sheer subtler,
gentle meaning. Al Jabbar meaning the ever restore, because it's he who repairs poverty with
affluence and repairs loss, whose success and repairs injury with healing and repairs despair with
hope
		

			and repairs broken hearts with Eman and contentment and he does so endlessly al Jabbar subhanho wa
Taala
		

			and his signs in the universe cannot be missed. They're etched all around you even within you take a
look in the mirror did you choose your gender, your complexion, your hair type, your eye color, your
height, your skin texture, it was all chosen for you by compulsion.
		

			Then take a look a level deeper. Do you have any say in the millions of simultaneous processes that
are taking place in your body every second of the day?
		

			The answer to both of these questions is an emphatic no. So every one of us whether Muslim or
otherwise is under the compulsion of Al Jabbar the ever Compeller Allah said who will never use or
will configure Arhavi cafe or SHA It is He Who shapes you. In the wombs. However he wills you had no
say in that. Of Jabbar legislated Islam decreed its final form, and he didn't consult any being in
the process. He commanded humanity to surrender their hearts, their bodies, their minds their souls,
because he chose to do so.
		

			He prohibited us from rejecting his religion because he chose to do so. He offered a reward he
offered a punishment. There is wisdom in all of this but ultimately he chose to do so in Hola Hola,
como. Now you read Allah orders as he wants. He's al Jabbar the other contender.
		

			Now let's stay on this line of reasoning for a moment.
		

			Why did he choose Mecca over all other cities of the world? Why were the first 10 days of hedger
chosen as the best 10 days of the year? Why is Friday the best day of the week?
		

			Why was Angel Jibreel
		

			chosen for the task of delivering revelation of all angels? Why did he select the prophets from all
of humanity?
		

			Why did he choose certain people to give them the gift of Eman but not others? The answer to all of
these questions is the same. What are Buka Hulagu nyesha waystar Your Lord creates and chooses as He
wills
		

			he is Al Jabbar the ever Compeller
		

			now come with me to the world of sleep. And there again you will see the signs of Al Jabbar
Subhanallah
		

			in the
		

			1950s Dr. Harold Williams of the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research conducted an experiment on
sleep 25 volunteers came forward to participate in long hours of wakefulness almost 100 hours, and
the findings are amazing. Subhanallah as time elapse, they began to experience confusion between
their own thoughts and external events. Certain bodily sensations began to develop a tightness
around the head gave the impression that a hat was being worn. Some of them started to complain that
their eyes were burning or itching, their vision was blurry. After around 60 hours of sleep
deprivation, now depth perception became difficult. small objects seem to dot out of place chairs
		

			apparently were changing in size. Some said that lights appear to be wearing a halo fog and even the
fourth floor seem to be moving.
		

			At around the 90 hour mark of sleep deprivation, vivid hallucination started to set in one volunteer
even asked for help to wash the cobwebs from his face apparently, and his hands and brief dreams
would intrude and become confused with reality. And people found their their sense of time distorted
		

			and they continue to deteriorate. And the experiment will stop that 98 hours because prolonged sleep
loss beyond 100 hours would push them to the edge of psychosis.
		

			The point of mentioning this is to say that no matter how triumphant you and I may feel by day, the
minute the sunsets, man slowly begins to appreciate the might of Allah because that nightly
experience is a reminder of Al Jabbar who has compelled you to sleep.
		

			Now, the ever Compeller this translation was only of course one of the two meanings of the name of
Jabbar, the ever restore was the other
		

			and you've seen the effects of this name as well. Take for example the process of healing for cuts
and bruises that a lot of us really take for granted. If you get a small cut, you may clean it,
cover it with a bandage and move on with your life. Yet what happens is anything but simple. wound
healing is a highly complex, tightly coordinated interaction physical, chemical and cellular events.
Take a look. Bleeding has to first stop in the process is called hemostasis. Within minutes or even
seconds of a scrape or a puncture, blood cells start to clump together and clot which protect the
wound and prevent further blood loss. The clot turned into scabs as they dry by way of a blood cell
		

			called a platelet. The clot also contains a protein called February which forms a net that holds the
clot in place.
		

			Then the body initiates a process called vaso constriction that causes the blood vessels to close
tight, similar to turn turning a leaky valve to stop it leaking Subhanallah
		

			then you have a process of inflammation. And it's the body's way of alerting you that an injury has
happened. And it helps dictate where the next barrage of healthy cells should be headed.
		

			Now once a clot closes off a wound, the blood vessels can now slowly start opening again to allow
fresh nutrients of handle and oxygen into the wound for healing. The right balance of course of
oxygen is also crucial because too much or too little will not allow the wound to heal correctly.
		

			Then you have another type of blood cell a white blood cell called a macrophage that takes the role
of wound protector. It acts like a site manager where it fights off infection and oversees the
repair process. A clear fluid sometimes you'll see it around the cutter this time, and that
essentially helps clear out the wound.
		

			Then there's the growth and rebuilding phase. Once the bleeding is under control, oxygen rich blood
cells arrive at the scene to help rebuild the tissue. Then, in a complex endeavor, the damaged veins
and arteries are replaced by the body cells by either creating new sections or adding onto existing
portions. Then chemical signals are released to tell cells to create collagen which is a type of
scaffolding in the form of a scar that starts suit starts out red and then eventually doubles. Then
you have the process of strengthening over time the new tissue gets stronger and you may see it
stretching and itching and even creasing of the wound.
		

			As the changes take place and your body becomes stronger
		

			As the wound gained strength quickly over the first six weeks of healing and about three months, the
wound is about 80% strong in its repair, as it was before the injury.
		

			The point of mentioning this is that the next time you sustained a bruise or a cut, and with no
intervention from you, your injury is taken care of for you. Allow your heart to prostrate in love
and glorification of Jabara.
		

			The ever restore, who not only heals what is physically broken, but heals injuries that are far
deeper than that.
		

			Think about the number of children who are raised in broken homes, abusive families, environments of
extreme stress. Yet despite all of the odds, they grow up to be fine human beings, successful in
their education happy in their marriages, grounded in their religion stable in their personality,
who was the one who repaired their breakage
		

			Jabbar, the ever restored it.
		

			Think about so many who were labeled as failures in life,
		

			only then to defy all the labels later on in life, whether we speak of Thomas Edison, who was told
that he was too stupid to learn anything, but only went on to becoming one of the greatest inventors
of all time with more than 1000 patents held to his name in the US alone, and and revolutionized
everyday life with inventions like the light bulb Subhanallah, who was the one who repaired to their
breakage
		

			he was on Jabara the ever restore. Think about the many bereaved ones all throughout the ages, who
cried intensely at the death of a loved one, and they said they would never recover. They would
never move on. They could never be happy again. But guess what, all of them recovered. They moved
on. Happiness did find its way back to them, who was the one who repaired that breakage
		

			he was on Jabbar if he ever restorer. Think about the many who were diagnosed with some of the most
life threatening illnesses that times multiple life threatening illnesses that aid their well being
and shattered their morale. But they would go on to survive and make a full recovery and live a life
of prosperity who was the one who repaired their breakage he was on Jabbar.
		

			One of our contemporaries
		

			narrates a story that he witnessed of a wealthy member of his community, who was known to be a
successful businessman.
		

			An engineer approached him and requested the hand of his daughter in marriage engineer mashallah was
a righteous man with an average stable income. But the businessman rejected the proposal because the
engineer was not apparently rich enough.
		

			Now on top of that, he rejected him in a very cruel and degrading way.
		

			Years later, subhanAllah a law was passed in that country, which severely affected the business of
the businessman, and it rendered him bankrupt
		

			and he found himself unable to make ends meet. So the ex businessman now pleaded with members of his
community to intervene. In speaking on his behalf to the engineer whose marriage proposal he
previously turned down, in the hope that he would reconsider his daughter for marriage.
		

			And Alhamdulillah the engineer did end up accepting and he did end up marrying his daughter.
		

			Now Subhan Allah by this time, the engineer had become very successful. And in a miraculous and
bizarre turn of events, he offered a job to his father in law.
		

			His father in law accepted the job offer, and was now an employee of the one whom he had already
killed just a few years before
		

			this event for not being rich enough.
		

			Who was the one who compelled the circumstances to produce this outcome, restoring the smile to the
face of that humiliated engineer and bringing his broken heart together again, he was Al Jabbar who
compels the oppressors so that honor is restored to the oppressed and compels illnesses to evict
ailing bodies and compels enemies to crumble in defeat, in aid of the believers who rely upon him
and at times compels the fixed laws of the universe to temporarily shift in order to restore a value
of justice on the land. This is Al Jabbar
		

			and to acknowledge Him brings about another automatic acknowledgement, which is what an
acknowledgement of how feeble and helpless we actually are.
		

			Who am I to behave with importance and to read
		

			act apologies and to belittle employees, and to demand my rights in full from my spouse, and so on
who am i Besides a Jabara?
		

			This is Al Jabbar
		

			and to acknowledge Him brings about another automatic acknowledgement and acknowledgement of how
feeble and helpless we actually are.
		

			You say to yourself who am I to behave with importance to reject apologies to belittle employees, or
to demand my rights in full from my spouse, whom who am i Besides as Jabbar but a person who was
harmed by a fly, killed by a germ knocked unconscious by sleep, brought to my knees by hunger and
thirst, that's what we are. And so, as long as we live,
		

			we're gonna keep hearing stories of power being compelled into weakness and weakness being restored
into power, stories of wealth being compelled into poverty, poverty, that is restored into wealth,
till man submits to the reality that there is no true Jabbar but Allah subhanaw taala and that this
job bar, the only one who is deserving of unconditional love and reliance. So what is it that's
hurting you? Is it an accident that has physically broken a bone? A rumor that has damaged your
reputation? A mental health condition that has broken apart your positivity?
		

			Is it a fear that has broken your resolve to keep going, or a fraudster or a selfish business
partner who's who's left you broke? Is it the never ending demands of life that have shattered your
peace of mind? In any case, remember what the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam would say, when he
would be set between the two sittings of the prostrations? And he would say, hola homophily What
harmony was botany or funny? We had any laughing He was Oconee Oh Allah forgive me and have mercy
upon me and repair my breakage or jabroni and raise me and guide me and bestow upon me well being
and provide for me.
		

			As if to say that I belly my humanity. Oh Allah.
		

			I made to break many times each day.
		

			And I am in need of your reparation. Oh Jabbar that many times a day.
