00:00:00 --> 00:00:00
			Assalamu
		
00:00:02 --> 00:00:04
			alaikum. It's nice to see you again as
		
00:00:04 --> 00:00:07
			we continue to bring the divine into the
		
00:00:07 --> 00:00:09
			daily by understanding how we can incorporate
		
00:00:10 --> 00:00:12
			the 99 names of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
		
00:00:12 --> 00:00:15
			into our daily lives to improve our relationship
		
00:00:15 --> 00:00:17
			with our spouse and with our children.
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:20
			The name that we're going to speak about
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:22
			today is El Mu'id,
		
00:00:22 --> 00:00:24
			which means the restorer
		
00:00:24 --> 00:00:25
			or the reviver,
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:28
			the one who brings back.
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:30
			When we think of the mercy of Allah
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:32
			subhanahu wa ta'ala, we realize
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:35
			that no matter what we do or how
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:39
			dead our heart may feel, he is the
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:41
			one that can restore it. He He is
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:42
			the one that can revive it.
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:45
			When we think of our relationships,
		
00:00:45 --> 00:00:45
			oftentimes,
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:49
			we can feel like the relationship has flat
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:52
			lined. You know, when we have a a
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:55
			relationship such as a marriage, there can be,
		
00:00:55 --> 00:00:57
			you know, one of 2 ways in which
		
00:00:57 --> 00:01:00
			the marriage dissipates or or ends.
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:02
			It can be a volatile
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:06
			ending, an ending that is filled with shouting
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:09
			matches and screaming and, you know, insults and,
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:12
			a feeling of emotional violence,
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:14
			and that can spell the end of a
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:16
			relationship. Or I think there can be another,
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:19
			a different kind of ending of the relationship,
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:22
			and it can be more of a withdrawal
		
00:01:23 --> 00:01:26
			of a slow type of stepping away from
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:27
			each other.
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:29
			And it's it's a bit of a slower
		
00:01:29 --> 00:01:29
			death.
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:32
			And in that death, many times,
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:36
			couples may feel that there is no way
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:38
			to revive the relationship. There is no way
		
00:01:38 --> 00:01:40
			to restart it or to bring it back
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:42
			to a better place.
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:44
			But when we think of the power of
		
00:01:44 --> 00:01:47
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, the most merciful, the
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:48
			most compassionate,
		
00:01:49 --> 00:01:51
			and we see that he is
		
00:01:52 --> 00:01:54
			the one who can revive,
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:55
			the one who can restart.
		
00:01:56 --> 00:01:58
			We can begin to incorporate that sense of
		
00:01:58 --> 00:02:00
			hope into our own relationships as well.
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:02
			So even if we feel that our relationship
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:03
			has flatlined, even if we feel that our
		
00:02:06 --> 00:02:08
			has come to a bit of a standstill,
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:11
			and that, like, the heart that has died,
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:13
			it has become the relationship that has died.
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:15
			We must still hold on to that hope
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:17
			that it can be revived
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:20
			if we take those actions that are pleasing
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:22
			to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala and that help
		
00:02:22 --> 00:02:24
			us get to a better place or a
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:26
			better state in our relationships.
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:29
			So if your relationship, if your marriage is
		
00:02:29 --> 00:02:30
			flatlining,
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:33
			don't give up hope. Think of Al Muayid,
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:34
			turn to Al Muayid
		
00:02:35 --> 00:02:37
			and ask for that revival in your marriage,
		
00:02:37 --> 00:02:39
			in your relationship as well.
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:42
			And I look forward to speaking to you
		
00:02:42 --> 00:02:45
			again as we continue to bring the divine
		
00:02:45 --> 00:02:46
			into the daily.
