Suzy Ismail – #56 AlWaliy

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, and the

characteristics of those names 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 El webby, which means the

helper or the friend, when we think of Allah subhanaw taala. As

elderly, we recognize that he is truly closer to us than even our

jugular vein. Now, when we think of our marriages, and we think of

our family life at home, we're often seeking out that type of

connection that closeness with our spouse, if the reality is the

common phrase of you know, I married my best friend or my

husband is my best friend, my wife is my best friend can put a lot of

pressure on a spouse. Because when we think of a best friend, we

think of someone who we can share everything with. But who can also

make us laugh when we're sad, who knows exactly what to say, to lift

us up from a mood where we might be cranky or upset, who's there

with us enjoying the exact activities that we like, that

wants to watch the same movies, we like to watch or listen to the

same things that we like to listen to. But in reality, in a marriage,

sometimes it's the opposites that attract and your spouse may not be

the same person that likes the same comedies that you do. That

person may not be the same person that wants to go skydiving with

you or that wants to sit next to you and crochet. And this is why

Allah subhanaw taala has shown us in the example of the Rasulullah

sallallahu alayhi wa sallam the importance of companionship, and

the importance of having friends or companions, who are close to us

who may not necessarily be our spouse. So rather than trying to

look for all of the comfort of a best friend, always in a spouse,

instead, we should recognize and appreciate the beauty that our

spouse brings into our lives, but also maintain those friendships

and that companionship with others as well. And always go back to

understanding that the true friend the true helper, the true allele,

is none other than Allah does or Kamala hair and I look forward to

speaking to you again as we continue to bring the divine into

the daily cinematic
