systematic. It's nice to see you again as we continue to bring the

divine into the daily by incorporating the 99 names of

Allah subhanaw taala into our daily lives to better understand

how we can improve our relationship with our spouse, and

with our children. The name that we're going to talk about today is

ahead. In our previous episode, we spoke about a long way ahead, and

we connected it with the element of sincerity in Surah hollows,

which begins * Allahu Ahad. Now I had a means more than just

the one, it also means the unity and the indivisible. And we know

Allah subhanaw taala, as the one as a way ahead ahead is

indivisible. But when we look at our families, when we look at our

spouses, our children, our relationships, we often see that

between husband and wife, there seems to be so many forces that

try to divide between them, between parent and child,

particularly in the teenage years, we will also see competing

elements that it seems as if it is trying to divide the relationship

between parent and child or between husband and wife. What are

these elements? Many times we see divisions arising between husband

and wife because of situations complicated by external

relationships, it may be spending too much time at work. It may be

family issues in law issues, it may be connections to iPhones and

laptops and computers and television, more than connecting

to one another. We see this repeated with children as well,

where children may be divided from the connection with their parents,

through the things in dunya that they become attached to that pull

them away from that stronger connection. And the same division

that occurs within our connections with our spouses and with our

children can occur in our connection with Allah subhanaw

taala. Just as to improve the connection to and we're head

ahead, we must ensure that our attention is not divided. When we

are in prayer, when we are committing acts for the sake of

Allah subhanaw taala renewing our intention, repeating that sense of

connection and reason of why we want to connect can help remind us

of ahead of the indivisible and can help us maintain an

indivisible connection to him. Likewise, with our spouse, with

our children, developing an indivisible connection comes from

nourishing that relationship from renewing the intention again, that

every act is for the sake of Allah subhanaw taala and recognizing

that with each app that is done for the sake of Allah subhanaw

taala we develop a stronger and stronger connection to him that

will strengthen our connection in turn with our spouse and with our

children. It is a common low height. And I look forward to

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

the daily Santa Monica on
