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