			systematic. It's nice to see you
again as we continue to bring the
		
00:00:04 --> 00:00:07
			divine into the daily by
incorporating the 99 names of
		
00:00:07 --> 00:00:11
			Allah subhanaw taala into our
daily lives to better understand
		
00:00:11 --> 00:00:14
			how we can improve our
relationship with our spouse, and
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:17
			with our children. The name that
we're going to talk about today is
		
00:00:17 --> 00:00:22
			ahead. In our previous episode, we
spoke about a long way ahead, and
		
00:00:22 --> 00:00:27
			we connected it with the element
of sincerity in Surah hollows,
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:32
			which begins * Allahu Ahad.
Now I had a means more than just
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:38
			the one, it also means the unity
and the indivisible. And we know
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:42
			Allah subhanaw taala, as the one
as a way ahead ahead is
		
00:00:42 --> 00:00:46
			indivisible. But when we look at
our families, when we look at our
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:51
			spouses, our children, our
relationships, we often see that
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:56
			between husband and wife, there
seems to be so many forces that
		
00:00:56 --> 00:01:00
			try to divide between them,
between parent and child,
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:03
			particularly in the teenage years,
we will also see competing
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:08
			elements that it seems as if it is
trying to divide the relationship
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:12
			between parent and child or
between husband and wife. What are
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:16
			these elements? Many times we see
divisions arising between husband
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:20
			and wife because of situations
complicated by external
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:24
			relationships, it may be spending
too much time at work. It may be
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:30
			family issues in law issues, it
may be connections to iPhones and
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:34
			laptops and computers and
television, more than connecting
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:38
			to one another. We see this
repeated with children as well,
		
00:01:38 --> 00:01:41
			where children may be divided from
the connection with their parents,
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:47
			through the things in dunya that
they become attached to that pull
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:50
			them away from that stronger
connection. And the same division
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:53
			that occurs within our connections
with our spouses and with our
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:56
			children can occur in our
connection with Allah subhanaw
		
00:01:56 --> 00:02:01
			taala. Just as to improve the
connection to and we're head
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:07
			ahead, we must ensure that our
attention is not divided. When we
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:10
			are in prayer, when we are
committing acts for the sake of
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:15
			Allah subhanaw taala renewing our
intention, repeating that sense of
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:19
			connection and reason of why we
want to connect can help remind us
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:24
			of ahead of the indivisible and
can help us maintain an
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:28
			indivisible connection to him.
Likewise, with our spouse, with
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:33
			our children, developing an
indivisible connection comes from
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:37
			nourishing that relationship from
renewing the intention again, that
		
00:02:37 --> 00:02:41
			every act is for the sake of Allah
subhanaw taala and recognizing
		
00:02:42 --> 00:02:45
			that with each app that is done
for the sake of Allah subhanaw
		
00:02:45 --> 00:02:49
			taala we develop a stronger and
stronger connection to him that
		
00:02:49 --> 00:02:52
			will strengthen our connection in
turn with our spouse and with our
		
00:02:52 --> 00:02:55
			children. It is a common low
height. And I look forward to
		
00:02:55 --> 00:02:58
			speaking to you again as we
continue to bring the divine into
		
00:02:58 --> 00:03:00
