Allahs Beautiful Names #03 Ask Allah For The Impossible

alkylene the most perfect, you know, that friend that always insists on paying for everything. Why is that quality of there's one that stands out the most al Karim is the name of Allah. That's truly one that we thank him for. If you were to ask any Arabic speaker what the word kitty means, and they'll tell you off the cuff, it means generous, but it actually means more than generosity. I once had a person asked me, how is the Quran generous? So what do you mean? He said, Allah Subhana Allah Allah says in the hula, Quran, Kareem. That is a generous Quran in surah raka as a Kareem here, does it mean generous? It means perfect. It is a perfect Quran, Allah Subhana Allah being al Karim means

that he is a Lord of perfect attributes column is the perfection of an attribute and that is why any attribute that is considered an attribute of perfection is called a column and so truthfulness is a column. Courage is Karim. Generosity is a carob loyalty is a Karim. Allah calls himself al Karim and Accra yeah you will in Santa Monica beggar Karim. Allah says, Oh human being what has deluded you regarding your lord the perfect or Allah subhana diocese. Ikura whare Bukal, Accra read and your Lord is the most perfect so both of these are two names of Allah Subhana Allah and Allah subhanaw taala calls the Quran Kareem like we've seen and Allah subhanaw taala also calls God and can you

sort of equate Allah subhanaw taala says we're in a hula Cole rasool and Karim. That is the speech of a perfect messenger. And so how did this word become dominated by generosity? Because the Arabs looked at which attribute makes a person seem perfect, and they found it to be generosity if someone is generous, it covers all sorts of other defects the mama Shabbat, he said in one of his famous poems, he says what either cathodic you can feel Bala was some raka a Cornell AH HA HA HA HA HA HA Kulu, Avi, new hottie Kumar, clean a Soho, and if your mistakes are many amongst the folk, and you wish to conceal them in a cloak, that can seal them with generosity as hence every fault, as I said,

is concealed by benevolence. And though we've established that it is speaking about more than generosity, and is actually speaking about the perfection of attributes, this word caught up, this name is still appropriate to talk about Allah subhana data's generosity because we're gonna have other names where we can explore other manifestations of ALLAH SubhanA danas perfection. So number one, Al Karim is the one who loves to give. There are many people who will give out of obligation they might host you for dinner if you show up in their town or grant you an evening or two or three of hospitality, but it's not the thing that they love the most. They would much rather keep their

money in their pocket, for example, but then there are people who love to give. And if you know one of those people, I want you to share this video with them because these people, nothing makes them happier than to pretend to go and wash their hands at the end of dinner with their friends only to sneakily go and pay for everybody's meal. They don't do this out of showing off or out of any sense of obligation or burden. It truly makes them happy to spend on others. Number two will Karim is the one who bestows and then praises ALLAH SubhanA data praise is new in the Quran, and he calls him now Ahmed Abdullah excellent servant, Allah subhanaw taala praises Ibrahim and calls him a word and he

calls him Hadebe. Someone who is very forbearing compassionate, ALLAH SubhanA.
