Santa Monica, it's nice to see you again, as we continue to bring the
divine into the deli by understanding how we can
incorporate the 99 names of Allah subhanaw taala into our daily
lives to improve the relationship with our families. The name that
we're going to talk about today is El Karim, which means the most
generous. When we think of generosity, we often think of
generosity in terms of the custom of the home of opening our homes
to people, of feeding people of inviting them in. Well, that is
one type of generosity. Without a doubt, there's a different type of
cudham that we can incorporate into our daily lives. And that's
the generosity of our words. Many times it's easy to criticize our
spouse, it's easy to criticize our children, it's easy to point to
the shortcomings in each of them. But when we are generous with our
words, it becomes easier for us to give the words of kindness and the
words of kindness towards a spouse towards a child, the words of
encouragement, the words of pointing out that which we like
that which we admire, that which we appreciate, can often carry a
great deal of weight. And sometimes that type of cut on that
type of generosity is harder for us to give than the generosity of
opening our homes, or the generosity of giving food or the
generosity of giving money or buying gifts. And we see this
particularly with our children, when we sometimes try to
overcompensate for time that we're not able to spend with our
children, or maybe sometimes for an inability to give in the
kindness of the words. And in those cases, a lot of times,
again, we miss out on the opportunity to be generous, to be
generous with our love. So I urge you all to take this moment, to be
generous with your words, to reach over to your child and hug that
child to reach over to your spouse and to hug that spouse and to give
a kind word, a word of reminder as to why you love the people in your
life that Allah subhanaw taala has blessed you with. And I pray that
Allah subhanaw taala al Karim always allows us to experience his
generosity, his bounty, and his giving in terms of our blessings
and our bottlecap does not come a little higher. And I look forward
to speaking to you again as we continue to bring the divine into
the daily cinematical.
