Suzy Ismail – #70 AlQadir

			Santa Monica, it's nice to see you
again as we continue to bring the
		

			divine into the daily by
understanding how we can
		

			incorporate the 99 names of Allah
subhanaw taala. And the
		

			characteristics of those names to
improve the relationship between
		

			our family, our children, and our
spouse. The name that we're going
		

			to discuss today is Al Qadr, which
means the ABL, the one who was
		

			able to do anything. In our last
episode, we spoke about the name
		

			of Samad and the characteristic of
sufficiency, and how we as
		

			parents, and many times as mom is
in particular, tend to try to be
		

			so self sufficient that we do not
turn to those that Allah subhanaw
		

			taala has placed around us to seek
help. Now, when we think of the
		

			concept of being the oil, Abel, or
as a loss of Panatela, is
		

			described and describes himself as
a hoarder, we often think of
		

			ourselves at times, also as being
able to juggle a million things at
		

			once being able to handle this and
this and this and that. And
		

			sometimes in the process. When we
drop the ball, when we're not able
		

			to complete everything. We tend to
be our own worst critics and we
		

			tend to be very difficult and hard
on ourselves. We see this concept
		

			of evilness also being ascribed to
our children quite frequently,
		

			when we have a child that may feel
like a certain subject in school
		

			is difficult. The child may say, I
can't do this, I'm not able to
		

			complete Math, I'm not able to
complete this essay. And the
		

			concept of not being able to
complete something can be just as
		

			detrimental as the opposite
extreme, which is the idea that
		

			you are able to complete
everything. And so we begin to
		

			understand that the attribute of
Allah subhanaw taala, as is as a
		

			call there, reminds us that Allah
subhanaw taala is the one who is
		

			all able, who is able to complete
everything, it is not on us to be
		

			able to complete everything, nor
is it on us to complete nothing.
		

			So just as we do not want to be
hard on our children, when they
		

			are consistently saying I'm not
able to do this, but we want to be
		

			encouraging of them and to tell
them try to do what you can what
		

			you are able to complete. The same
should go for how we treat
		

			ourselves, rather than being so
hard on ourselves when we're not
		

			able to complete everything,
recognizing that Allah subhanaw
		

			taala is Al Qadir and he is the
only one who can is able to
		

			complete everything. Then we begin
to realize our own roles and
		

			recognize our own roles within our
families, as parents and as
		

			spouses. So I pray that Allah
Subhana Allah Al Qadir allows us
		

			to work within our Quadra within
our ability and to consistently
		

			strive harder and harder to attain
the love of Al Qadir and the
		

			pleasure of Al Qadir always does
Acoma low height and I look
		

			forward to speaking to you again
soon as we continue to bring the
		

			divine into the daily Santa Monica
