Suzy Ismail – #30. AlAdl

Saramonic it's nice to see you again, as we continue to bring the

divine into the daily by understanding how the

characteristics of Allah subhanaw taala, as encompassed in the 99

names of Allah can be incorporated into our daily lives to improve

our relationships with our spouses and with our family. The name that

we're going to discuss today is a ladder, which means the most just,

or the most fair,

many times in our relationships will find difficulty in feeling

like we are struggling with injustice. This can often occur

when husband and wife are in an argument. And each one is trying

so hard to prove that he or she is the one that is right. And then it

feels as if there is injustice that is occurring. But in reality,

we need to stop sometimes, and ask ourselves what is more important,

being right, or understanding the other person's viewpoint and

working together to understand one another and reach a point of

compromise. When we talk about injustice, again, we often talk

about that injustice that's perpetrated towards others. But

there's often injustice that we also perpetrate towards ourselves.

And that comes in the form when we are so hard on ourselves. When we

view ourselves in a way where we're unhappy with who we are

unhappy with where we are in life. We often say this as the marriage

relationship grows. And often as our family grows, as well, as

mother as Father, we may reflect on our lives and feel like we're

not where we need to be as a single parent, as a person who is

still looking to get married, whatever stage we are in, in life,

when we are unjust towards ourselves. It is because we feel

insecure. And we begin to project that insecurity inwardly, it will

reflect externally as well. And it can often result in us taking

those insecurities and putting them externally upon our spouse

upon our children and causing disharmony in the home. So I pray

that Allah subhanaw taala, Allah had the one who is most just will

allow us to find that internal justice within ourselves towards

ourselves, but also that justice in our family, in our home and

with our spouses to Zakouma level higher, and I look forward to

speaking to you again, in our next episode of bringing the divine

into the deli. I said I'm on a call
