00:00:02 --> 00:00:08
			Cemani Gump, we're back again for
the first official episode of how
		
00:00:08 --> 00:00:13
			we can incorporate the 99 names of
Allah subhanaw taala. And the
		
00:00:13 --> 00:00:17
			characteristics of the 99 names of
Allah subhanaw taala into our own
		
00:00:17 --> 00:00:20
			lives in order to better our
relationships, better our
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:23
			marriages, better our connection
with our children with our
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:28
			families. Today, the very first
name that we are going to discuss
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:33
			and relate to our lives is the
name of Allah when Allah subhanaw
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:38
			taala commands us to call upon him
frequently throughout the day with
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:42
			Bismillah R Rahman Rahim. And
those two names are recommended
		
00:00:42 --> 00:00:46
			Rahim are the first to have the
name 99 Names of Allah subhanaw
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:51
			taala that we are going to embark
upon and begin to understand what
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:56
			does the word or Rockman mean?
It's often translated as the most
		
00:00:56 --> 00:01:02
			compassionate or the Most
Gracious. But the word man, as in
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:06
			many of the words in the Arabic
language is very rich and has more
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:09
			meanings and can be encompassed in
just one word, as we would see
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:13
			normally in the English language.
So if we look at as a human, as
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:17
			the Most Compassionate, The Most
Gracious, what does that mean for
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:20
			us on a day to day, in our day to
day lives? What does it mean for
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:24
			us and how we interact with
others. Now, when we talk about
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:28
			compassion, we will often equate
the word compassion with kindness
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:31
			will often say that oh, you know,
be kind and compassionate. But the
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:36
			reality is that compassion goes
far beyond simply being kind.
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:39
			Compassion is about having
empathy. Compassion is about
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:43
			understanding someone's situation,
and being able to view it from
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:47
			their perspective. So when you
have a husband and a wife, for
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:50
			example, who are consistently
arguing, you know, in these days
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:53
			of Ramadan when our fuses are a
little bit short, and we try to
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:56
			check our tempers, but sometimes
our tongues may get the best of
		
00:01:56 --> 00:02:00
			us, maybe there is an argument
that consistently occurs about
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:03
			who's coming over for Iftar, or
what food is being made for if
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:08
			thought, now, if a husband is
consistently asking for specific
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:11
			food items, or for specific people
to be over, or different
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:15
			interactions, and the wife may be
responding, and saying that, you
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:18
			know, this is too much for me, or
I can't, I've been cooking every
		
00:02:18 --> 00:02:22
			day, you know, this is the moment
where compassion needs to come
		
00:02:22 --> 00:02:25
			into place. This is the moment
where we can think of Allah
		
00:02:25 --> 00:02:29
			subhanaw taala, as a rough man,
the one who is most compassionate,
		
00:02:29 --> 00:02:33
			Most Gracious, and we can bring it
into our day to day lives. By
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:38
			implementing compassion in that
type of a scenario. How can the
		
00:02:38 --> 00:02:42
			compassion be implemented? In that
moment, if the husband were to
		
00:02:42 --> 00:02:46
			look at the wife and to say, I
understand, you have been doing a
		
00:02:46 --> 00:02:50
			lot these past few days that
Amazon is hard on all of us, take
		
00:02:50 --> 00:02:54
			a break, let's order in food. If
the wife looks at the husband with
		
00:02:54 --> 00:02:57
			compassion, and says, I understand
you've been working hard, and you
		
00:02:57 --> 00:03:01
			enjoy breaking fast, not just with
us as a family, but with others
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:04
			from the community as well. Let's
invite people but let's keep it
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:07
			simple. In this way, both husband
and wife are showing compassion to
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:11
			each other. And it's just as
important to show that compassion
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:14
			to our children, as we're raising
them as we're encouraging them as
		
00:03:14 --> 00:03:18
			they're growing, as they're
learning how to fast as well to be
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:21
			compassionate, which goes beyond
just kindness and into the realm
		
00:03:21 --> 00:03:26
			of graciousness as well, which
means we treat our family members,
		
00:03:26 --> 00:03:30
			our spouses, our children with
that type of understanding that is
		
00:03:30 --> 00:03:34
			rooted in empathy, because this is
one of the characteristics of
		
00:03:34 --> 00:03:38
			Allah subhanaw taala. However,
Rockman does a common law here and
		
00:03:38 --> 00:03:42
			thank you so much for coming and
joining me on our episode for
		
00:03:42 --> 00:03:46
			today in sha Allah I hope to see
you in tomorrow's episode as we
		
00:03:46 --> 00:03:51
			look into the Name of Allah, where
we say R Rahman r Rahim. Assalamu
		
00:03:51 --> 00:03:52
