00:00:00 --> 00:00:04
			Salam aleikum, it's nice to see
you again as we continue to
		
00:00:04 --> 00:00:07
			discuss how we can bring the
divine characteristics of the 99
		
00:00:07 --> 00:00:11
			names of Allah subhanaw taala into
our daily lives to improve our
		
00:00:11 --> 00:00:14
			relationships with our family and
our spouses. So the name that
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:18
			we're going to discuss today is El
bossier, which means the old
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:22
			saying, within a relationship,
we've talked quite frequently in
		
00:00:22 --> 00:00:25
			our episodes about the importance
of building trust, and
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:30
			particularly in terms of enhancing
that marital bond. When we trust
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:35
			our spouse, we don't have that
temptation of trying to see
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:39
			everything that the spouse is
doing. Yet, the reality is, we
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:43
			often come to a place where we
begin to think that if my spouse
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:47
			doesn't know, then it's okay, if
my spouse doesn't see something,
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:50
			then it's okay. And one of the
unfortunate phenomenons that we're
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:54
			seeing in our counseling center
quite frequently these days is the
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:59
			issue of infidelity. And that
infidelity often arises first from
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:03
			that need to satisfy the neffs,
despite going against the will of
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:07
			Allah subhanaw taala. But second,
from that feeling of what my
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:11
			spouse doesn't know what won't
hurt him or won't hurt her. And of
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:15
			course, Allah subhanaw taala is
embassy of all seeing, and he sees
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:19
			everything. So when we act in our
relationships with a loss of
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:23
			funnel data, first and foremost in
mind, recognizing that he is a
		
00:01:23 --> 00:01:27
			loss here, and that he will see
everything that we do. This is
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:31
			where we can stop ourselves from
going down that path of thinking
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:35
			something is okay to do if our
spouse doesn't see it. The same
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:39
			goes for our children in terms of
Serbia, and trying to raise them
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:43
			in a way where they understand the
concept of Taqwa where they love
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:47
			Allah subhanaw taala. And they
fear a lot out of a love for him,
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:52
			because they recognize that he is
Elbasy SME are all seeing and the
		
00:01:52 --> 00:01:57
			All Hearing when we talk about
seeing this brings us to another
		
00:01:57 --> 00:01:59
			point that's incredibly important
in the relationship in the
		
00:01:59 --> 00:02:03
			marriage relationship in
particular, which is that we do
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:07
			tend to judge with our eyes. And
although will often say beauty is
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:11
			in the eye of the beholder. In the
marriage relationship. After the
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:15
			first year passes, and the second
year passes, maybe taking care of
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:19
			our looks becomes less of a
priority. And we begin to think
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:23
			that it's okay to be comfortable
at home. And as much as that
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:28
			comfort is a huge important part
of being building that trust
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:31
			between husband and wife. It's
also important to recognize that
		
00:02:31 --> 00:02:34
			the same way that you might want
to beautify yourself when you
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:37
			leave the home, you would want to
beautify yourself within the home
		
00:02:37 --> 00:02:41
			as well. And it's not just a
shallow beautification, but that
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:45
			beautification comes with a smile.
It comes with an expression that
		
00:02:45 --> 00:02:49
			is soften. It comes with gestures
that are not threatening or that
		
00:02:49 --> 00:02:53
			are not putting someone down. And
that's where the true beauty comes
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:58
			from. And again, seeing that in
the relationship helps the spouse
		
00:02:58 --> 00:03:01
			get closer and closer to one
another. I pray that Allah
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:05
			subhanaw taala and Basir allows us
to see only the best in our
		
00:03:05 --> 00:03:09
			spouses always to see the best in
our children, and to help guide
		
00:03:09 --> 00:03:13
			them to recognize what true Taqwa
is and how to connect with Allah
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:17
			Subhana Allah Elbasy and all that
they do, just like a low head and
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:21
			I look forward to speaking to you
again in our next episode, as we
		
00:03:21 --> 00:03:24
			continue to bring the divine into
the daily salamati
