Suzy Ismail – #10 AlJabbar

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
