Suzy Ismail – #06 AsSalam

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

			Yeah.
		

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

			So it's nice to speak with you
again, as we continue to journey
		

00:00:08 --> 00:00:12

			into an understanding of the 99
names of Allah subhanaw taala, and
		

00:00:12 --> 00:00:15

			how we can incorporate the
characteristics of those names
		

00:00:15 --> 00:00:19

			into our daily lives. So the name
that we're going to discuss today,
		

00:00:19 --> 00:00:25

			in this episode of the program is
the name of SNM. Allah subhanaw
		

00:00:25 --> 00:00:30

			taala attributes the name of SLM
to himself, which means the peace
		

00:00:31 --> 00:00:35

			in our homes and our
relationships, in our marriages,
		

00:00:35 --> 00:00:40

			in our relationships with our
children. We are constantly
		

00:00:40 --> 00:00:45

			seeking the element of peace.
We're looking for that sanctity,
		

00:00:45 --> 00:00:50

			that connection, that feeling of
tranquility that can enter our
		

00:00:50 --> 00:00:51

			hearts in the relationship.
		

00:00:52 --> 00:00:58

			But why is that search for peace?
Sometimes so difficult? Why is it
		

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

			hard sometimes to find that type
of peace at home
		

00:01:03 --> 00:01:07

			and struggling to seek peace? A
lot of times we are plagued with
		

00:01:07 --> 00:01:11

			self doubts. We are plagued with
questions, we are plagued with
		

00:01:11 --> 00:01:13

			worries were plagued with
wondering
		

00:01:14 --> 00:01:17

			what the other person is thinking
or what they're saying or what
		

00:01:17 --> 00:01:21

			they mean. And the lack of peace
in the home is often built upon
		

00:01:21 --> 00:01:25

			misunderstanding and
miscommunication. Many times we'll
		

00:01:25 --> 00:01:31

			enter into homes or our own homes,
and we'll see that there is strife
		

00:01:31 --> 00:01:34

			between husband and wife. And
there's this constant turmoil
		

00:01:34 --> 00:01:39

			that's occurring, whether it's
because there's a life of running
		

00:01:39 --> 00:01:42

			around, where one is constantly
leaving the home, the other is
		

00:01:42 --> 00:01:45

			coming back into the home, the
children are being dropped off at
		

00:01:45 --> 00:01:49

			this activity at that activity.
There's school, there's work, and
		

00:01:49 --> 00:01:53

			that sense of peace seems to be
missing. How do we bring it back
		

00:01:53 --> 00:01:54

			into our lives.
		

00:01:55 --> 00:02:01

			The importance of that is a
crucial element in realigning
		

00:02:01 --> 00:02:04

			ourselves and being able to
reconnect not just with one
		

00:02:04 --> 00:02:08

			another in our families and our
homes, but also to reconnect to
		

00:02:08 --> 00:02:13

			Allah subhanaw taala. Sometimes
all it means is that on the drive
		

00:02:13 --> 00:02:18

			home, from work on the drive, to
school to pick up the children,
		

00:02:18 --> 00:02:22

			and the drive, coming back or
forth from one of the million busy
		

00:02:22 --> 00:02:26

			elements that consume our lives,
pausing for a little bit,
		

00:02:27 --> 00:02:31

			remembering the names of Allah
subhanaw taala, saying the Salawat
		

00:02:31 --> 00:02:34

			Allah the beloved Rasulullah
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
		

00:02:35 --> 00:02:39

			reminding ourselves of what our
purpose is. That's one way that we
		

00:02:39 --> 00:02:44

			can incorporate peace into our
personal spiritual realm. When we
		

00:02:44 --> 00:02:48

			enter into our homes, with that
sense of peace, from the spiritual
		

00:02:48 --> 00:02:52

			perspective, we'll be able to
bring that sense of peace into our
		

00:02:52 --> 00:02:57

			homes. Because then when we enter
our homes, and we meet our spouse
		

00:02:57 --> 00:03:01

			at the door, or we meet our
children, after school, we've
		

00:03:01 --> 00:03:05

			already re centered and re aligned
ourselves. And we're ready to
		

00:03:05 --> 00:03:09

			connect with them on a level where
we can truly love our children and
		

00:03:09 --> 00:03:12

			love our spouse for the sake of
Allah subhanaw taala.
		

00:03:13 --> 00:03:19

			So it's not an easy task, to try
to overtake to try to complete
		

00:03:19 --> 00:03:23

			finding that peace in the home.
But it is the most important
		

00:03:23 --> 00:03:26

			element of keeping the sanity of
the home keeping the sanctity of
		

00:03:26 --> 00:03:31

			the home by introducing that
element of peace in the home. So I
		

00:03:31 --> 00:03:33

			urge you today to give it a try.
		

00:03:34 --> 00:03:38

			When you feel like the world is
crashing down around you, when you
		

00:03:38 --> 00:03:42

			feel like you're being pushed from
side to side, what it feels like
		

00:03:42 --> 00:03:46

			at every turn. There's another
bombardment coming towards you.
		

00:03:47 --> 00:03:48

			Take a deep breath.
		

00:03:49 --> 00:03:54

			Remember Allah subhanaw Medina,
remember the creator who is SLM.
		

00:03:55 --> 00:03:59

			And try to incorporate that Salem
into your own connection with him
		

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

			and into your connection with your
spouse, with your children and
		

00:04:04 --> 00:04:08

			with your entire family. I pray
that Allah subhanaw taala allows
		

00:04:08 --> 00:04:12

			us to incorporate SLM in all that
we do to allow us to connect with
		

00:04:12 --> 00:04:17

			our spouses in a way of peace to
allow us to raise our children in
		

00:04:17 --> 00:04:21

			a peaceful manner as well so that
we can have closer and closer
		

00:04:21 --> 00:04:24

			towards establishing peaceful
homes. Just like I'm a law here,
		

00:04:24 --> 00:04:28

			and I look forward to seeing you
again tomorrow evening as we
		

00:04:28 --> 00:04:32

			discuss the next name of the 99
names of Allah subhanaw taala
