			Santa Monica.
		

			As we enter into these last 10
days of Ramadan, I wish you and
		

			your families Ramadan mubarak. And
I pray that Allah subhanaw taala
		

			allows us to gain the best out of
these next 10 evenings, and 10
		

			days.
		

			In the past few episodes, we've
spoken about how we can bring the
		

			names of Allah subhanaw taala, and
the characteristics and attributes
		

			of those names into our
relationships to create stronger
		

			loving homes with our spouses and
with our families.
		

			We've spoken about Rahman, and
Rahim. Today we're going to speak
		

			about the next name of Allah,
subhanaw, taala, and Malik,
		

			and Malik is translated as the
king. But what does it really
		

			mean? To have the attributes or
characteristic of a king. When we
		

			think of a king, we think of
honor, we think of respect, we
		

			think of sovereignty. Oftentimes,
in relationships between husband
		

			and wife, we'll hear comments made
such as, oh, he thinks he's the
		

			king of the castle, or she wants
to be treated like a queen. And we
		

			utilize these characteristics or
these these descriptions in the
		

			marriage relationship as well. And
in the home. Sometimes they're
		

			used in disparaging way. But in
reality, there is beauty in those
		

			characteristics. The one who is
the king, not only has
		

			sovereignty, but has that
sovereignty because it is a
		

			sovereignty built upon honor and
respect.
		

			And so in our own homes, when we
talk about being king and queen,
		

			how can we as spouses interact
with one another to treat each
		

			other as a king and a queen?
That's the ultimate application of
		

			having that sense of My Word
though Rama in a relationship.
		

			It's building a relationship on
honor on respect and loving one
		

			another, but also treating each
other in the highest way possible,
		

			elevating each other status
supporting one another, and truly
		

			being the king and the queen for
each other in your homes and in
		

			your hearts. So I pray that Allah
subhanaw taala allows us to
		

			encompass that characteristic of
being the king and queen in our
		

			homes and in our hearts through
our interactions by being a little
		

			kinder, a little more
compassionate and a little bit
		

			more merciful to one another. Does
that come Hello here and I look
		

			forward to speaking to you again
tomorrow as we discuss the next
		

			name of the 99 names of Allah
Assalamu alaikum
