00:00:00 --> 00:00:04
			Salam Alaikum it's nice to see you
again, as we continue to bring the
		
00:00:04 --> 00:00:07
			divine into the daily by
understanding how we can
		
00:00:07 --> 00:00:11
			incorporate the 99 names of Allah
subhanaw taala into our daily
		
00:00:11 --> 00:00:14
			lives to improve our relationship
with our spouse and with our
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:18
			children. The name that we're
going to discuss today is Edward
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:22
			wood. Now, this is a name that's
personally very near and dear to
		
00:00:22 --> 00:00:28
			my heart. Because when I speak
about the topic of marriage, when
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:32
			I give lectures on how we can
improve our marriages, I often
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:36
			begin with the verse from the
Quran that reminds us that our
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:41
			marriages are built upon my widow
Rama, and that they become a place
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:45
			of tranquility because of that, my
what though Rama? When we look up
		
00:00:45 --> 00:00:49
			the word mawatha, we see that the
root of my word that is with
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:55
			wishes, the same root of ELWA,
dude. Now, interestingly enough,
		
00:00:55 --> 00:01:00
			when we look at the English
etymology of the root word, of
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:05
			wedding, we see that that root
word is when, which is very close,
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:12
			of course, to with. Why, because
the word withdraw that root word,
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:18
			which means a type of love that
defies our earthly boundaries of
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:23
			what we view as love. In Arabic,
there are several different words
		
00:01:23 --> 00:01:26
			for love. Yet the word that Allah
subhanaw taala reserves for
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:28
			himself is L Word.
		
00:01:29 --> 00:01:33
			And it's a love that goes beyond
the earthly, and into the
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:37
			spiritual realm. When we see in
the verse in the Quran that talks
		
00:01:37 --> 00:01:40
			about our marriages and the
purpose of our marriages, we see
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:45
			that Allah subhanaw taala, again,
brings the concept of love and
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:50
			mercy. Yet the word for love is my
word that from that root word
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:55
			with, which is the root of
Eduardo. So we understand that the
		
00:01:55 --> 00:02:00
			love in our marriages goes far
beyond any other type of love, we
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:04
			may have a different relationship
because it's a special sort of
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:08
			love. It's a love that Allah
subhanaw taala places within our
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:13
			hearts so that we can grow a
foundation, a connection that will
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:18
			inshallah allow us to not only
reap the benefits of a marriage
		
00:02:18 --> 00:02:22
			within this dunya but in the Ohana
as well. Does that come along here
		
00:02:22 --> 00:02:26
			and I look forward to speaking to
you again as we continue to bring
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:27
			the divine into the daily
