Hi, I'm Monica, it's nice to see you all again, as we continue with
Episode 10, of bringing the Divine Names of Allah subhanaw taala into
our daily lives, to improve our relationships and our families and
our homes. So today, the name that we're going to discuss is Al
Jabbar, the name Al Jabbar of the 99 names of Allah subhanaw. Taala
means the Compeller.
What does it mean to compel?
Essentially, when we look at the word compel, we may think of
negative connotations when applied to the human beings. Of course, we
know the names of Allah subhanaw, taala, supersede anything that we
could and act upon here on Earth. But when we think of compelling in
a human sense of the term, many times in the relationship dynamic,
compelling someone to do something may feel very much like
controlling someone in the relationship between husband and
wife, it's very frequent, that we'll see this as an issue or a
block in the relationship where one partner feels like there is
control that is exerted upon him or her. And oftentimes, you know,
the understanding of Aboriginal a woman and the set, which is the
men are the protectors of the woman can often be misinterpreted
or applied incorrectly, in a way where it becomes an issue of
control or a forceful, compelling. And this, of course, is not of the
dean, because there is no such thing as compelling someone to do
something or controlling someone's action in a marriage relationship
that is meant to be a partnership, when the US was the Lohani, who is
self described in his last hotbar, in his last word, so the OMA
before his passing, he spoke of the rights that men have over
women, but the rights that women also have over men. And in those
last words, he reminded the onma he told the men of the Ummah,
in describing the husband and wife relationship,
he told them to be kind, and to be compassionate, because husband and
wife in the description of the Rasulullah, sallallahu alayhi.
wasallam are like partners. And that partnership is not built upon
one person controlling the other. It's not built upon, forceful,
compelling, but instead, it's built upon compassion. Instead,
it's built upon connection, and instead it's built upon
understanding one another, and compromising rather than
controlling. So I pray that Allah subhanaw taala continues to bless
our marriages, bless our homes, bless our families, and allow us
all to reap the benefits of these last 10 nights of Ramadan and to
be the best that we can be to our families, to our spouses to our
children, and in our homes. Just a common law here was that Emma had
