			salaam aleikum wa rahmatullah wa barakato. This is Mr. Shipley taking over tag along with me a lot
of fun, we're gonna get to some incredibly interesting topics with a whole lot of confusion and
convolution. And so that'll be interesting. So with that said, Guys, welcome. For those of you who
don't know, this is a model shokri. I am taking back the show taking back the reins. So these series
we are going over in 99 Names of Allah. Yep, we're jumping right into a Rahmani Raheem. The two most
frequent names that come when you think of a lot as origin, and they come after an investment, or a
man means the one who's filled with mercy. And little he means the one who's consistently merciful,
		
00:00:41 --> 00:01:07
			even though different scholars will mention different things with regards to what the meaning is.
and some even hold the opinion that there's actually no difference between a white man or right, but
that's not my concern, what the difference is between the names, what is important is that people
understand the concept that allows you get is filled with mercy that allows again, is the most
merciful, and that this is a name that keeps repeating and repeating and repeating not just in the
Koran, one thought that comes to mind is the name of a man
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:42
			coupled with any other attributes of Allah in the Quran, because I know they have the logo. You have
him a couple of days. A couple of anything I haven't, I don't think I don't mind is actually coupled
with anything. Gotcha. So what's the what's the meaning of Iran itself? Sort of man is the one who's
actually filled with mercy. There's a difference of opinion with aggressive scholars with regards to
what the meaning of our mind is, but the one that I find to be the closest is that Allah is the
devil man is the one who's absolutely filled with mercy. So his inventory of mercy is full.
Absolutely. Okay. So in Arabic, you'll say that someone is all divine, when they're filled with
		
00:01:42 --> 00:02:28
			anger, okay. You know, think of some people whose names are abundant. But yes, someone who's filled
with something as I wasn't if I love it, it's that it's and then what's the Rahim? Would Rahim be
the faucet? So Rahim would be the one who's consistently merciful that it's consistent gifts. Always
Oh, man is filled with mercy. But it's not like it's a one time thing. Okay, Rahim is the one who's
always merciful, consistently. And some have said that No, man in the dunya and his or him in the
he's a man in the dunya for everyone. And in in the official in the Hereafter, he's aim just for the
believers. Okay. What are the term of Rahim also be equivalent for the dunya, too, because he's
		
00:02:28 --> 00:03:04
			giving his mercy to. And that's an argument that people use because there's a there's something that
the prophet SAW sent him. He says, Yeah, man, I didn't laugh at all what I hear mahoma He says, Oh,
you, who is the amount of the dunya and the hereafter, and the one who is the Most Merciful or the
most consistent in their mercy for both of them as well, but both of them. But again, my point is
for this is not to debate this issue, but it's just for people to one of the things that has stuck
with me is that one of her one of my teachers say that with regards to you know, he was interviewing
some some high school kids, and is an assignment school and he asked him, How many of you feel like
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:42
			a lot angry with you, okay. And he said, the majority of them raise their hand. And that goes
against who a lot of it is. This means that people don't have a concept of who a lot is or get is
that he is the one who's mercy over overcame his wrath. A loss, again, is the one who threw up
before and even in moments where his name is paired, or his, you know, these two attributes are
mentioned together. He mentioned his mercy and you mentioned as punishment, His mercy always
overcomes his wrath. So when you say overcome, does it also even in the literal sense of the fact
that in the presentation, the mercy follows the anger in the Quran, I don't know about follows it'll
		
00:03:42 --> 00:04:20
			be mentioned before before but there was there's, you'll have moments where Allah says that his
mercy overcame his wrath, but also you have things like, you know, just the sentence structure will
indicate for the person who pays attention that the mercy is greater. So you have realized this is
not about the Rahim Allah says, tell my slaves, that I am Allah for him. I'll tell my slaves that I
am a lover for the most forgiving Rahim, the one who's continuous in his mercy. Great. Well, and I
Gabi, what I would tell them that my punishment is the painful punishment. Now someone may be
reading this and they're like, Oh, I mentioned this punishment and reward in the same breath and the
		
00:04:20 --> 00:04:59
			same verse, but the way that the actual verses broken down, there's so much more weight that's given
to his mercy even in that verse because it says, tell my slaves tell them that mine they bought it
you could have said tell creation, tell the people, there could have been distance but he made it
personal or he made this his Okay. Okay. And then he says that I am Oliver Ford. So he made that a
name of himself. He says that I am the most forgiving or the most continuous in their mercy. So he
attributes within themselves and then he uses the term I twice and neat Anna and the * I am I
Hello, Jorge.
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:09
			And then when it comes to his punishment, and my punishment doesn't say, and that I am the Punisher,
he doesn't call himself that, right? He doesn't do the same thing. Okay? And he doesn't say that.
		
00:05:11 --> 00:05:44
			He says, I'm not my punishment is severe. My punishment is the severe punishment. Okay, so one is
that I am this and the other one is I can do that. And that my punishment is Yeah, but when it came
to mercy, he describes it into himself, he makes it an attribute. So it's almost like saying that
you know what, I can do that but because you're my slave, I am merciful so that I am the mercy I am
the merciful, so therefore, that would take precedence. Yeah. And there's there's there's a whole
lot of emphasis in the first round makes a lot of sense. Yeah. I mean, the other thought I had in my
mind was the fact that Romana, Rahim proceeds and Maliki on Monday
		
00:05:45 --> 00:06:20
			It was his medical Dean. Okay. And the fact that on the Day of Judgment, does that mean that people
fear his reckoning? Yeah. And not only that, but Rahim appears twice and sort of did that. Right. So
you have it in the best manner. And then again, a lot of you had mentioned, and a lot of it. I mean,
the first attribute is a man or a man. Yes, it comes before masculinity. Gotcha. Beautiful. And
there's just so much I mean, there's nothing really if you look at this video, you'll find all of
these little drops in jewels and throughout the Quran. And the Sunnah lies against mercy, so many
examples of it that a person who they know that they are the servants of man, and that the one who
		
00:06:20 --> 00:06:36
			created them as a man over here, it gives them so much in their life. Like, for example, we all go
through our hardships, right? Yeah, we all go through problems, we all desire things. And sometimes
a lot of what we desire is withheld from us. We don't get it. And so if you simply put in your
phrase, you say,
		
00:06:38 --> 00:06:53
			I didn't get this job that I want. Yeah, I didn't get this spouse that I want. I didn't get whatever
is this toy that I want this vacation that I want, whatever it is that I want, if you simply put
into that equation, that ohana or Rahim is the one who decreed but the spouse
		
00:06:54 --> 00:06:55
			isn't the one that I get.
		
00:06:56 --> 00:07:32
			How does that make you feel? In fact, that is out of our, for our own good, right? Yeah, like the
one who withheld this desire of mine or didn't give it to me at this particular time. Whatever it
is, you know, the one opposite of you know, those What if type stories when they are not even what
if like those wish stories, right? Somebody like those the scary ones where somebody wishes for
something, and everything that that gets granted to them is in fact a detriment. detriment to them,
but this is like the exact opposite of that it's completely perspective changing You know, it gives
you this comfort I'm not saying that a person becomes like stagnant with regards to their life and
		
00:07:32 --> 00:07:40
			completely complacent but you are comfort in a console that when you're actually going after
something and you don't get it, that the one who withheld it from you is
		
00:07:41 --> 00:08:09
			right, though the one who took away your loved one is more merciful to you than you are to yourself.
Right? So this is and that's part of the the, you know, the beauty of believing and knowing that
allows you and it gives you a lot of comfort in your life. It is kind of maybe this would be a good
point to close on. But I just remembered in the verses of Santa Barbara with Abraham, I said I was
making the DA right Oh, after he makes a robina Taco Bell miniconda No.
		
00:08:10 --> 00:08:52
			I mean it he follows that up later down the line. Urban our Muslim mainly like a woman Juliet
inomata muslimah Tilak Marina Manasa kana Baba Bali in Naga and Rahim is asking for the rites of
Hajj or the monastic of Hajj as a means of coming closer to the forgiveness of Allah. Who is at the
Lago, Rahim. And what is Hydra, except that we come out with a clean slate, beautiful, beautiful.
And it's just absolutely like, you know, the person who deals with a line, they know that a lot
about him. It always gives them hope, and it always gives them inspiration. You know, there's one of
my favorite poets, his name is Edwin Alas, and everyone else was actually an someone who wrote a lot
		
00:08:52 --> 00:09:33
			of poetry about alcohol. So he was somebody who, you know, he likes his wine. And he's someone that
would be considered, you know, a sinner. And when he passed away, a person saw him in a dream. And
they said to him, What did your Lord do with you? Like, how did you end up and he said, My Lord
forgave me because of some verses that I wrote. And I placed it under my pillow. So his verses were
absolutely breathtaking. The verses that he wrote, and he, the point is, is that he was someone who
knew who allow us he wasn't someone who was he was distinct in a sense, but he was aware in a sense,
what was the name of the Sahaba there was a drunk, but he would always seek out the punishment and
		
00:09:33 --> 00:09:36
			so but at the same time, he's someone who loves a lot.
		
00:09:37 --> 00:10:00
			Abdullah him up. Okay, his name. At least that's one of the narrations with regards to that story.
I've heard that story a couple of times. But we know is the verses that he said is an album Adobe
kesulitan Alpha darling to be in Africa Africa album, he says, Oh my Lord, if my sins are great in
number, I know that your forgiveness is greater. If my sins are great, because of their number I
know that your forgiveness is greater as a rule cannot become a
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:06
			I must also later on I call upon you, My Lord, like you commanded and humiliate T and subjugation.
		
00:10:08 --> 00:10:31
			God, if you were pulling my hand from him, they are gonna have mercy on me. Like if you're not gonna
forgive me, and if you're not gonna have mercy on me with nails, look at that mercy, you know, and
if the only one we can have open you are the righteous. All of these these goody two shoes, these
guys? For many of them we'll see. And then what about the criminals? Who are we supposed to? You
know, the bad guys? What are we supposed to have open? mighty was here to look at it
		
00:10:32 --> 00:10:48
			with me to Africa to my news, the only path I have towards you is hope and your beautiful
forgiveness and that I'm almost. And so as far as the dream goes that that person says says that I
saw him his dream and he said that my Lord forgave him. And that's the beauty of knowing.
		
00:10:50 --> 00:10:51
			Fair enough. We'll see you guys soon.
