Monica, it's nice to see you again as we continue to bring the divine
into the daily. But understanding how we can incorporate the 99
names of Allah subhanho, Medina, into our daily lives to improve
the relationship between us and our spouse and our children. The
name that we're going to discuss today is unhappy, which means the
living.
When we think of our own lives, every day, we wake up, we look
around, and we need to remind ourselves of what our purpose is,
in our marriages and in our family lives. Oftentimes, we can lose
sight of what that purpose is, what our reason for being or
reason for living, actually is. Of course, we know that Allah
subhanaw taala reminds us that he has created each and every one of
us to worship Him. And that that worship of Allah can exist in
everything we do, that can exist in being kind to our spouse, it
can exist in feeding our spouse when they least expect it. It can
exist in showing compassion and mercy towards our children. All of
these actions that we do on a daily basis are that sometimes we
have to put aside our emotions or annoyance is in order to do bring
us closer and closer to Allah subhanaw taala, and to the purpose
of why we are living. Yet sometimes within our marriages
within our relationships, we can lose sight of that sense or that
reason for being with one another for living together. And
oftentimes, we lose sight of why we have even been brought
together, why Allah subhanaw taala has essentially brought two hearts
and two souls to be with one another, we lose sense of it
because we get caught up in feeding our own desires, in
turning our thoughts to our needs, rather than to thinking about the
needs of our spouse, and to thinking about how we can fulfill
our purpose, which is getting closer to Allah subhanho wa taala.
By being there for our spouse, by showing that compassion by showing
that care by shifting the focus from our own needs and our own
wants to what we can do in the moment, to please Allah subhanaw
taala by pleasing our spouse, and when we are caring for our
children, again, losing sight of the purpose of why we are living
can lead us sometimes to getting so wrapped up in how our children
are making us feel how our spouse is making us feel. And we get so
wrapped up and consumed with our own emotions and our own feeling
that we again lose sight of how the external view and that
focusing on what we may be giving rather than what we may be
getting, can help us get closer and closer to Allah subhanaw taala
So I pray that Allah subhanaw taala and he allows us to never
forget our purpose of living allows us to consistently be
reminded of the good that can exist within our homes and in our
hearts. If we consistently keep a love first and foremost, and our
thoughts, does that come a little higher and I look forward to
speaking to you again as we continue to bring the divine into
the daily Santa Monica
