Sulaiman
says: Grant me Kingdom ownership of that which
You won't give someone after me.
He
He says, He
uses the term Wahab, the name Wahab.
You are indeed the giver.
Wahhab is one who gives gifts,
the one who gives gifts. Al Wahhab,
Wahhab. I know of another place where the
term or the name, should I say, Wahab
is used
in a supplication.
It's used in a supplication.
Guess which supplication?
Anyone knows? In the Quran.
Yes.
Where else is it used for? What other
thing? Here Suleiman alaihis salam is asking for
something,
that's
well for you and I it's impossible, obviously
for Allah it's not. He's saying give me,
give me that which you're not going to
give someone after me, something.
Yes.
Thank you so much.
The name Wahab is, although it's not used
there, but it's used for family and children.
The name Wahab is used for family and
children. Let me read a verse for you,
okay?
So you know Zakariyah alaihis salam didn't have
children, right? What did he say?
He says:
Again he used the term hab. Hab means
grant me a gift.
Grant me a gift. Of what?
Of family, progeny, children who will be a
gift from you.
And Allah
says, We gave him the gift.
And so in the Quran it says,
Al Wahhab,
the name of Allah that is used, wahab,
in this case as well. So Allah is
giving the gift, something that you lost hope
about,
but not from Allah, which I didn't lose
hope in Allah, but I lost hope
in worldly things. People get married, and it's
happening often.
May Allah grant ease to all those who
are married
in their marriages, and those who don't have
children. Allah bless them with children as well.
But it's quite stressful when years are passing,
and you know what?
People are just looking at you, thinking it's
about time you started a family, and you're
busy thinking: It's got nothing to do with
about time I, I wanted to start a
family the day I got married.
In fact I started a family.
But it is up to Allah when He
is going to bless us with children, right?
People might say, well you need to, you
need to be on a strict diet, you
know, get off sugars and gluten and this
and yeah, that that may help you. It's
good to do things that perhaps might, you
know, purify your reproductive system in a beautiful
way. Perhaps, yeah, you can try that out.
It's worked for a lot of people, but
at the same time, isn't it some
emptiness that you feel within you to say,
I don't have children yet, man, Allahu Akbar,
here's the name: Seek forgiveness of Allah, Rabb
Ghfirli. O Allah forgive me. And then that
wahab, Innaqah antal
Oh Allah grant me. Grant me what? From
my wives, from my family members, from my
children,
those who will be the coolness of my
eyes. So not only am I asking for
children
and family, but I'm asking for those who
will be the coolness of my eyes. When
your child grows older
and they're adolescent
and they grow beyond that, you'd like to
at least be happy. Hey, that's my son.
That's my daughter.
