Suzy Ismail – #34 AlAzeem

It's nice to see you again as we continue to bring the divine into

the daily by understanding how we can incorporate the 99 names of

Allah subhanaw taala, and the characteristics of those names

into our daily lives so we can improve our relationships with our

spouse and with our children. The name that we're going to discuss

today is, Allah has been, which means the most magnificent.

When we think of the word magnificent, we know that it means

something that is elevated something that is exalted. And we

know that Allah subhanaw taala is an awesome, the most magnificent,

the one who's most elevated, Most Exalted. But it's interesting that

when we often first get married, or when we first have a child, our

response internally upon laying eyes, on our spouse on that

wedding day, or upon laying eyes on our child, when our child is

first born, is that this is the most magnificent being in our

life. And it's common that in those first few moments, our eyes

process, you know, that, that those split seconds of seeing our

spouse on the wedding day, seeing the infant child, when our child

is first born, I'm thinking, This is it, this is the greatest human

being in my life. And this is my from Allah subhanaw taala, for us

to truly feel this kind of a connection with the spouse in

those early moments, because it is the beginning of the foundation of

a lifetime together in sha Allah, but also with our child in those

first few moments where we bond with our child, when at first

sight, we truly feel that this infant is magnificent.

Yet we all know for those of us who have been married for several

years, or those of us who have children who have grown older,

there are days when we may look at our spouse days that we may look

at our children. And we may not feel that they are quite as

magnificent as we may have thought when we first laid eyes upon them.

And this is again part of human nature. You know, we ask Allah

subhanaw taala consistently with the diet, Yom we'll call liberal

groups, and it can be an Idina or changer of the heart, keep my

heart steadfast on your faith. Why? Because our hearts are

constantly moving up and down. Our hearts are constantly in a state

of flux. And that state of flux can sometimes cause us to be very,

very close with someone or feel close with someone to admire

someone to feel connected with someone, whether that someone is

our spouse, or our child, or someone else, even outside of the

family. And yet on another day, we may not feel that connection, we

may not feel that closeness, we may not feel that admiration for

that person. And yet, our connection to Allah subhanaw taala

is what we want and then desire to be the most stable, to never

change because Allah subhanaw taala is allows him the most

magnificent, and that is not something that is variable or

something that we can feel one day and not another one, we feel this

way towards our spouse or towards our child, you know, when our

children may be driving us crazy, it's summer vacation, and many of

us as parents may be thinking, what is school going to begin. And

those are the moments where we may not be thinking our kids are quite

so magnificent, or during those arguments that we might have with

a spouse. Those are the moments that we're not thinking our spouse

is quite so magnificent. In those moments, it's important to anchor

our hearts back to that connection that we felt on that first day. On

the first day that we laid eyes on our spouse on that wedding day on

the first day that we laid eyes on our infant child in our arms when

the child is born on the first day that we felt that connection,

because to go back to that place of feeling that there is some sort

of magnificence in our relationship is the most beautiful

bond that we can have with our spouse with our child. And of

course we ask Allah Allah Azim to always anchor our heart and our

love for Him. And in our recognition of his magnificence,

does Accomando here and I look forward to speaking to you again.

The next time we bring the divine into the daily. A stub article
