Suzy Ismail – #35 AlGhafur

Salam Alikum 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. The name that we're going to discuss

today is Ella food, which means the one who is most forgiving. Now

when we were speaking about some of the other names of Allah

subhanaw taala, we spoke about how each name is a different shade of

the beautiful attributes of Allah. And we've spoken quite frequently

about the forgiving nature of Allah subhanaw taala, and how we

can incorporate that sense of forgiveness in our own homes and

our own lives as well. One of the greatest tricks of shaitan is to

make us believe that our sin is so great that it will not be forgiven

by Allah. But Allah's Mercy has been a hammer. And the fact that

he is an awful word reminds us that whatever we do, as long as we

sincerely repent, it will be forgiven by a loss.

So as we work through our daily lives, and as we continue to

understand how we can incorporate that element of forgiveness in our

lives, it's important to remember to forgive ourselves first. And to

recognize that even though we may commit errors, or we may do things

sometimes that are not in the best interest of our spouses or our

family lives, we can always come back we can always seek that

forgiveness, and we can always recover from whatever difficulty

we're going through. So I pray that Allah subhanaw taala and Maha

food does provide us with that forgiveness internally and

externally consistently, and that we always work towards seeking

that forgiveness with one another as well, because I come a little

later and I look forward to speaking to again as we continue

to bring the divine into the daily setup.
