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 our
relationships with our families. The name that we're going to
discuss today is utter appeal, which means the watchful eye. When
we talk about Allah subhanaw taala being the most watchful other for
you. It's watchfulness in a way of looking over us of protecting us.
Many times with our children, or even with our spouses, we feel
that we also want to have that sense of a rocky of being the
watchful one. But in reality, when we tend to look at everything that
our children are doing everything that our spouses are doing, we
begin to question and doubt may enter our heart. And so the
watchfulness becomes a element of mistrust. So today, for example,
many of our children may have iPhones may have devices in which
they can communicate to one another. And for many parents, the
question comes up of should we place a locator on the phone so
that we know what our child is doing at all times. This question
becomes very relevant, particularly as the child grows
older and begins to develop their own sense of self. If you are
going to be the watchful one all of the time, particularly once
your children have entered young adulthood and the teenage years,
then you may take away from the responsibility that the child may
have. And the watchfulness may actually backfire in creating the
sense of mistrust around your child. The same goes for spouses.
I recall that there was a new program that had come out where
spouses could monitor their husband or their wives, phones, in
terms of receiving text messages that were sent to the spouse. This
is another form of watchfulness. But it's a watchfulness that can
break a relationship. If there is doubt in your relationship, if
there is doubt, as a parent towards your children, speak to
your family members. Speak to your spouse, be honest, be open with
your children, explain where that doubt is coming from, do not
implement a sense of watchfulness that comes out of mistrust,
because that can push your spouse or your child further and further
away. So I pray that a lot of love for you keeps that sense of
watchfulness over all of us, but also protects us from being
watchful in a way that may be harmful. Does that come a little
higher? And I look forward to speaking to you again, as we
continue to bring the divine into the daily. It's that I'm honored
