Suzy Ismail – #06 AsSalam

Yeah.

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

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

how we can incorporate the characteristics of those names

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

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

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

in our homes and our relationships, in our marriages,

in our relationships with our children. We are constantly

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

that connection, that feeling of tranquility that can enter our

hearts in the relationship.

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

hard sometimes to find that type of peace at home

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

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

worries were plagued with wondering

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

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

misunderstanding and miscommunication. Many times we'll

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

into our lives.

The importance of that is a crucial element in realigning

ourselves and being able to reconnect not just with one

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

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

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

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

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

remembering the names of Allah subhanaw taala, saying the Salawat

Allah the beloved Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam

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

can incorporate peace into our personal spiritual realm. When we

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

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

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

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

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

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

love our spouse for the sake of Allah subhanaw taala.

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

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

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

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

urge you today to give it a try.

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

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

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

Take a deep breath.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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