			Salam Alaikum, it's nice to see
you again as we continue to bring
		
00:00:03 --> 00:00:06
			the divine into the daily by
understanding how we can
		
00:00:06 --> 00:00:09
			incorporate the 99 names of Allah
subhanaw taala, and the
		
00:00:09 --> 00:00:13
			characteristics of those names
into our daily lives to improve
		
00:00:13 --> 00:00:17
			the relationship with our spouse
and with our children. The name
		
00:00:17 --> 00:00:20
			that we're going to talk about
today is a summit, which means the
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:25
			self sufficient, the eternal, the
one who has no need. Now,
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:29
			oftentimes in our relationships
today in our family lives,
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:34
			particularly as as women and as
mothers, we may struggle with this
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:39
			sense of self sufficiency. And we
may try so hard to conform to this
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:43
			idealized concept of like a
superwoman, where we feel like we
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:46
			can show the world that we don't
need anyone, that we are self
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:50
			sufficient that we are self
reliant. Yet we know that Allah
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:54
			subhanaw taala is a summit he is
the only one who is self
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:59
			sufficient. And so when we trap
ourselves into this realm of truly
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:02
			believing that we can do it all
alone, we tend to isolate
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:07
			ourselves and find ourselves in
the pitfalls of seclusion, which
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:11
			does not lead to a healthy or a
happy home. So rather than
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:16
			constantly turning our critical
eye inwardly, and thinking that we
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:19
			must prove that we are self
sufficient within our families
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:23
			within our homes, instead, if we
look externally, and see the
		
00:01:23 --> 00:01:27
			people that Allah subhanaw taala
may have placed around us to help
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:33
			us become more sufficient, rather
than to try to focus on self
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:38
			sufficiency, then we can truly see
the best part of ourselves and
		
00:01:38 --> 00:01:42
			give that best part of ourselves,
to our families, to our spouses
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:46
			for the sake of Allah subhanaw
taala. So I pray that Allah
		
00:01:46 --> 00:01:50
			subhanaw taala a summit allows us
to recognize that when he gives us
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:54
			people in our lives, it is not
because we should turn them away,
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:58
			but it is so that we can
understand the beauty of the map
		
00:01:58 --> 00:02:01
			and the connection that we can
have with others, just from a
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:04
			little higher, and I look forward
to speaking to you again, as we
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:07
			continue to bring the divine into
the daily setup article.
