It's nice to see you again as we continue to bring the divine into
the daily by understanding how we can incorporate the
characteristics of the 99 names of Allah subhanaw taala into our
daily lives, to improve our relationships with our spouse and
with our children. So the name that we're going to discuss today
is Hallie, which means the one who has the most forbearance, or the
one who grants clemency?
What does that mean to have forbearance or to grant clemency?
We see that when we explore the names of Allah subhanaw taala, we
begin to understand that there are many names that mean, the one who
grants forgiveness, or the one who gives forgiveness, you know, we
have the name of Allah for Allah for, and several other names. And
we see that those names of Allah subhanaw taala, that speak to us
of forgiveness are many different shades of the concept of
forgiveness. And when we think of the one who grants forbearance, it
means the one who patiently awaits us who have sinned or who have
committed wrong to ask for that forgiveness. And so how do we
incorporate forbearance or clemency in our own relationships?
Many times when we are wronged, or when someone hurts us, or when a
spouse says a spiteful word, or a child acts out or is
disrespectful, we request from that person to apologize right
away. So we may say, say sorry, now, why are you not saying I'm
sorry, ask for forgiveness. And we want that immediate response,
where the person recognizes that they've done something wrong, and
that they asked for that forgiveness. But the reality is
that sometimes the ego needs for us to step back a little bit. And
as much as we try so hard to control our egos to not allow our
egos or our arrogance to get the best of us. At times when we hurt
someone when we wrong. Someone it takes a little bit of time. For us
to recognize that wrong, it takes a little bit of time for us to be
able to approach the person that we've wronged, and ask for that
person's forgiveness, when we are in the position of the one that
has wronged granting forbearance, or having forbearance or granting
clemency means that we step back a little bit, and we realize that
this person will recognize that they have wronged us, this person
will recognize that they have heard us and they will come back
and apologize, or they will seek forgiveness from Allah subhanaw
taala and also, hopefully seek forgiveness from the one that they
have wronged. But that takes time. And so having forbearance means
having that patience, having that ability to step back and recognize
that it may not be on our time that someone asked for forgiveness
or apologizes. It may just be on the time that it takes them to
realize the wrong they've done to realize that they've heard us to
come back and to apologize. So I pray that Allah subhanaw, Taala
and Haleem grants us all that sense of forbearance in our
relationships with our spouse and with our children, so that we can
be patient so that we can understand where they are coming
from, even when they may hurt us with an unkind word or in acts in
a way that is disrespectful. So does that come along and fade I
look forward to speaking to you again, as we continue to bring the
divine into the daily Solomonic
