00:00:03--> 00:00:03

Sulaiman

00:00:04--> 00:00:07

says: Grant me Kingdom ownership of that which

00:00:07--> 00:00:09

You won't give someone after me.

00:00:09--> 00:00:09

He

00:00:11--> 00:00:12

He says, He

00:00:13--> 00:00:16

uses the term Wahab, the name Wahab.

00:00:17--> 00:00:19

You are indeed the giver.

00:00:20--> 00:00:22

Wahhab is one who gives gifts,

00:00:23--> 00:00:25

the one who gives gifts. Al Wahhab,

00:00:25--> 00:00:28

Wahhab. I know of another place where the

00:00:28--> 00:00:30

term or the name, should I say, Wahab

00:00:31--> 00:00:32

is used

00:00:34--> 00:00:35

in a supplication.

00:00:36--> 00:00:38

It's used in a supplication.

00:00:38--> 00:00:39

Guess which supplication?

00:00:40--> 00:00:42

Anyone knows? In the Quran.

00:00:42--> 00:00:43

Yes.

00:00:43--> 00:00:45

Where else is it used for? What other

00:00:45--> 00:00:48

thing? Here Suleiman alaihis salam is asking for

00:00:48--> 00:00:48

something,

00:00:49--> 00:00:49

that's

00:00:49--> 00:00:52

well for you and I it's impossible, obviously

00:00:52--> 00:00:53

for Allah it's not. He's saying give me,

00:00:53--> 00:00:55

give me that which you're not going to

00:00:55--> 00:00:56

give someone after me, something.

00:00:57--> 00:00:58

Yes.

00:01:00--> 00:01:02

Thank you so much.

00:01:08--> 00:01:11

The name Wahab is, although it's not used

00:01:11--> 00:01:14

there, but it's used for family and children.

00:01:16--> 00:01:18

The name Wahab is used for family and

00:01:18--> 00:01:20

children. Let me read a verse for you,

00:01:20--> 00:01:20

okay?

00:01:21--> 00:01:24

So you know Zakariyah alaihis salam didn't have

00:01:24--> 00:01:26

children, right? What did he say?

00:01:27--> 00:01:27

He says:

00:01:34--> 00:01:36

Again he used the term hab. Hab means

00:01:36--> 00:01:37

grant me a gift.

00:01:38--> 00:01:40

Grant me a gift. Of what?

00:01:41--> 00:01:44

Of family, progeny, children who will be a

00:01:44--> 00:01:45

gift from you.

00:01:45--> 00:01:46

And Allah

00:01:47--> 00:01:48

says, We gave him the gift.

00:01:49--> 00:01:51

And so in the Quran it says,

00:01:52--> 00:01:53

Al Wahhab,

00:01:54--> 00:01:57

the name of Allah that is used, wahab,

00:01:58--> 00:02:00

in this case as well. So Allah is

00:02:00--> 00:02:02

giving the gift, something that you lost hope

00:02:02--> 00:02:03

about,

00:02:03--> 00:02:06

but not from Allah, which I didn't lose

00:02:06--> 00:02:08

hope in Allah, but I lost hope

00:02:08--> 00:02:10

in worldly things. People get married, and it's

00:02:10--> 00:02:11

happening often.

00:02:12--> 00:02:13

May Allah grant ease to all those who

00:02:13--> 00:02:14

are married

00:02:14--> 00:02:16

in their marriages, and those who don't have

00:02:16--> 00:02:19

children. Allah bless them with children as well.

00:02:19--> 00:02:21

But it's quite stressful when years are passing,

00:02:21--> 00:02:22

and you know what?

00:02:23--> 00:02:25

People are just looking at you, thinking it's

00:02:25--> 00:02:27

about time you started a family, and you're

00:02:27--> 00:02:29

busy thinking: It's got nothing to do with

00:02:29--> 00:02:31

about time I, I wanted to start a

00:02:31--> 00:02:32

family the day I got married.

00:02:33--> 00:02:35

In fact I started a family.

00:02:36--> 00:02:37

But it is up to Allah when He

00:02:37--> 00:02:39

is going to bless us with children, right?

00:02:40--> 00:02:42

People might say, well you need to, you

00:02:42--> 00:02:43

need to be on a strict diet, you

00:02:43--> 00:02:45

know, get off sugars and gluten and this

00:02:45--> 00:02:47

and yeah, that that may help you. It's

00:02:47--> 00:02:49

good to do things that perhaps might, you

00:02:49--> 00:02:52

know, purify your reproductive system in a beautiful

00:02:52--> 00:02:54

way. Perhaps, yeah, you can try that out.

00:02:54--> 00:02:56

It's worked for a lot of people, but

00:02:56--> 00:02:58

at the same time, isn't it some

00:02:58--> 00:03:00

emptiness that you feel within you to say,

00:03:00--> 00:03:03

I don't have children yet, man, Allahu Akbar,

00:03:03--> 00:03:05

here's the name: Seek forgiveness of Allah, Rabb

00:03:05--> 00:03:07

Ghfirli. O Allah forgive me. And then that

00:03:07--> 00:03:09

wahab, Innaqah antal

00:03:10--> 00:03:12

Oh Allah grant me. Grant me what? From

00:03:12--> 00:03:14

my wives, from my family members, from my

00:03:14--> 00:03:14

children,

00:03:15--> 00:03:17

those who will be the coolness of my

00:03:17--> 00:03:19

eyes. So not only am I asking for

00:03:19--> 00:03:19

children

00:03:20--> 00:03:22

and family, but I'm asking for those who

00:03:22--> 00:03:24

will be the coolness of my eyes. When

00:03:24--> 00:03:25

your child grows older

00:03:25--> 00:03:26

and they're adolescent

00:03:27--> 00:03:28

and they grow beyond that, you'd like to

00:03:28--> 00:03:30

That's my daughter.

00:03:28--> 00:03:30

That's my daughter.
