Suzy Ismail – #60 AlMu’id

Assalamu

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 subhanahu wa ta'ala

into our daily lives to improve our relationship

with our spouse and with our children.

The name that we're going to speak about

today is El Mu'id,

which means the restorer

or the reviver,

the one who brings back.

When we think of the mercy of Allah

subhanahu wa ta'ala, we realize

that no matter what we do or how

dead our heart may feel, he is the

one that can restore it. He He is

the one that can revive it.

When we think of our relationships,

oftentimes,

we can feel like the relationship has flat

lined. You know, when we have a a

relationship such as a marriage, there can be,

you know, one of 2 ways in which

the marriage dissipates or or ends.

It can be a volatile

ending, an ending that is filled with shouting

matches and screaming and, you know, insults and,

a feeling of emotional violence,

and that can spell the end of a

relationship. Or I think there can be another,

a different kind of ending of the relationship,

and it can be more of a withdrawal

of a slow type of stepping away from

each other.

And it's it's a bit of a slower

death.

And in that death, many times,

couples may feel that there is no way

to revive the relationship. There is no way

to restart it or to bring it back

to a better place.

But when we think of the power of

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, the most merciful, the

most compassionate,

and we see that he is

the one who can revive,

the one who can restart.

We can begin to incorporate that sense of

hope into our own relationships as well.

So even if we feel that our relationship

has flatlined, even if we feel that our

has come to a bit of a standstill,

and that, like, the heart that has died,

it has become the relationship that has died.

We must still hold on to that hope

that it can be revived

if we take those actions that are pleasing

to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala and that help

us get to a better place or a

better state in our relationships.

So if your relationship, if your marriage is

flatlining,

don't give up hope. Think of Al Muayid,

turn to Al Muayid

and ask for that revival in your marriage,

in your relationship as well.

And I look forward to speaking to you

again as we continue to bring the divine

into the daily.
