			It's nice to see you again as we
continue to bring the divine into
		
00:00:06 --> 00:00:10
			the daily by understanding how we
can incorporate the
		
00:00:10 --> 00:00:14
			characteristics of the 99 names of
Allah subhanaw taala into our
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:18
			daily lives, to improve our
relationships with our spouse and
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:22
			with our children. So the name
that we're going to discuss today
		
00:00:22 --> 00:00:29
			is Hallie, which means the one who
has the most forbearance, or the
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:31
			one who grants clemency?
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:37
			What does that mean to have
forbearance or to grant clemency?
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:42
			We see that when we explore the
names of Allah subhanaw taala, we
		
00:00:42 --> 00:00:48
			begin to understand that there are
many names that mean, the one who
		
00:00:48 --> 00:00:51
			grants forgiveness, or the one who
gives forgiveness, you know, we
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:57
			have the name of Allah for Allah
for, and several other names. And
		
00:00:57 --> 00:01:01
			we see that those names of Allah
subhanaw taala, that speak to us
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:05
			of forgiveness are many different
shades of the concept of
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:09
			forgiveness. And when we think of
the one who grants forbearance, it
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:15
			means the one who patiently awaits
us who have sinned or who have
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:20
			committed wrong to ask for that
forgiveness. And so how do we
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:24
			incorporate forbearance or
clemency in our own relationships?
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:29
			Many times when we are wronged, or
when someone hurts us, or when a
		
00:01:29 --> 00:01:33
			spouse says a spiteful word, or a
child acts out or is
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:39
			disrespectful, we request from
that person to apologize right
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:44
			away. So we may say, say sorry,
now, why are you not saying I'm
		
00:01:44 --> 00:01:49
			sorry, ask for forgiveness. And we
want that immediate response,
		
00:01:49 --> 00:01:53
			where the person recognizes that
they've done something wrong, and
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:57
			that they asked for that
forgiveness. But the reality is
		
00:01:58 --> 00:02:03
			that sometimes the ego needs for
us to step back a little bit. And
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:08
			as much as we try so hard to
control our egos to not allow our
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:13
			egos or our arrogance to get the
best of us. At times when we hurt
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:17
			someone when we wrong. Someone it
takes a little bit of time. For us
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:20
			to recognize that wrong, it takes
a little bit of time for us to be
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:24
			able to approach the person that
we've wronged, and ask for that
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:28
			person's forgiveness, when we are
in the position of the one that
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:32
			has wronged granting forbearance,
or having forbearance or granting
		
00:02:32 --> 00:02:36
			clemency means that we step back a
little bit, and we realize that
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:40
			this person will recognize that
they have wronged us, this person
		
00:02:40 --> 00:02:44
			will recognize that they have
heard us and they will come back
		
00:02:44 --> 00:02:48
			and apologize, or they will seek
forgiveness from Allah subhanaw
		
00:02:48 --> 00:02:51
			taala and also, hopefully seek
forgiveness from the one that they
		
00:02:51 --> 00:02:57
			have wronged. But that takes time.
And so having forbearance means
		
00:02:57 --> 00:03:03
			having that patience, having that
ability to step back and recognize
		
00:03:03 --> 00:03:07
			that it may not be on our time
that someone asked for forgiveness
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:12
			or apologizes. It may just be on
the time that it takes them to
		
00:03:12 --> 00:03:15
			realize the wrong they've done to
realize that they've heard us to
		
00:03:15 --> 00:03:20
			come back and to apologize. So I
pray that Allah subhanaw, Taala
		
00:03:20 --> 00:03:25
			and Haleem grants us all that
sense of forbearance in our
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:29
			relationships with our spouse and
with our children, so that we can
		
00:03:29 --> 00:03:32
			be patient so that we can
understand where they are coming
		
00:03:32 --> 00:03:38
			from, even when they may hurt us
with an unkind word or in acts in
		
00:03:38 --> 00:03:42
			a way that is disrespectful. So
does that come along and fade I
		
00:03:42 --> 00:03:46
			look forward to speaking to you
again, as we continue to bring the
		
00:03:46 --> 00:03:49
			divine into the daily Solomonic
