00:00:00 --> 00:00:04
			Saramonic it's nice to see you
again, as we continue to bring the
		
00:00:04 --> 00:00:07
			divine into the daily by
understanding how the
		
00:00:07 --> 00:00:11
			characteristics of Allah subhanaw
taala, as encompassed in the 99
		
00:00:11 --> 00:00:16
			names of Allah can be incorporated
into our daily lives to improve
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:19
			our relationships with our spouses
and with our family. The name that
		
00:00:19 --> 00:00:24
			we're going to discuss today is a
ladder, which means the most just,
		
00:00:24 --> 00:00:25
			or the most fair,
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:32
			many times in our relationships
will find difficulty in feeling
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:35
			like we are struggling with
injustice. This can often occur
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:39
			when husband and wife are in an
argument. And each one is trying
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:44
			so hard to prove that he or she is
the one that is right. And then it
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:49
			feels as if there is injustice
that is occurring. But in reality,
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:53
			we need to stop sometimes, and ask
ourselves what is more important,
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:58
			being right, or understanding the
other person's viewpoint and
		
00:00:58 --> 00:01:02
			working together to understand one
another and reach a point of
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:06
			compromise. When we talk about
injustice, again, we often talk
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:09
			about that injustice that's
perpetrated towards others. But
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:13
			there's often injustice that we
also perpetrate towards ourselves.
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:18
			And that comes in the form when we
are so hard on ourselves. When we
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:22
			view ourselves in a way where
we're unhappy with who we are
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:27
			unhappy with where we are in life.
We often say this as the marriage
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:30
			relationship grows. And often as
our family grows, as well, as
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:34
			mother as Father, we may reflect
on our lives and feel like we're
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:39
			not where we need to be as a
single parent, as a person who is
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:43
			still looking to get married,
whatever stage we are in, in life,
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:49
			when we are unjust towards
ourselves. It is because we feel
		
00:01:49 --> 00:01:53
			insecure. And we begin to project
that insecurity inwardly, it will
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:58
			reflect externally as well. And it
can often result in us taking
		
00:01:58 --> 00:02:03
			those insecurities and putting
them externally upon our spouse
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:08
			upon our children and causing
disharmony in the home. So I pray
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:12
			that Allah subhanaw taala, Allah
had the one who is most just will
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:17
			allow us to find that internal
justice within ourselves towards
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:21
			ourselves, but also that justice
in our family, in our home and
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:25
			with our spouses to Zakouma level
higher, and I look forward to
		
00:02:25 --> 00:02:29
			speaking to you again, in our next
episode of bringing the divine
		
00:02:29 --> 00:02:31
			into the deli. I said I'm on a
call
