Tom Facchine – 99 Names of Allah #29 Al-Haleem

			Salam Alaikum tonight's name is Al Halleen. Allah to Allah is Al Halleen. Haleem means forbearing,
which is a big word for somebody who doesn't get angry very easily or quickly, somebody who's
patient, when maybe people aren't being so nice.
		

			Let's think about ourselves.
		

			Let's imagine that
		

			every single time your brother or sister walks by you, they bump into you.
		

			The first time it happens, you might ignore it, you maybe think that it was an accident. But every
time they keep coming back across the room, they bump you, and they bump you and bump you and bump
you. It's going to be only a couple of times until you say, Hey, cut it out, stop it. That bothers
me.
		

			We don't have as much patience as Allah does when it comes to those sorts of things.
		

			But Allah is Al Halleen.
		

			People spend their entire lives not listening to Allah, disobeying Allah, not even believing in
Allah, or believing wrong things about Allah, making up things about Allah.
		

			And then, if one day comes where that person has a change of heart and comes and says, Allah, I'm
sorry, forgive me. Allah is going to forgive that person. He's not going to hesitate. He's not going
to be so annoyed at that person from all the things that they've done their entire lives, that he
would say no.
		

			Whereas if it were you and me, if someone bumped us maybe 100 times, 200 times, and then they said
that they were sorry, it would be really hard to forgive that person.
		

			Allah is also a Haleem. Because even despite the fact that so many people don't believe in Allah, or
they believe wrong things about Allah or make up things about Allah, Allah still gives them all the
good things in life. He still gives them food, he still gives them clothes, clothes, he still gives
them toys and happiness families, a nice place to live.
		

			Allah gives that to everybody.
		

			And he doesn't withhold it from people, even if they don't believe in him. That's because a lot is
Al Haleem. He's patient, he's not going to get angry quickly. Only people who never say they're
sorry, who never repent,
		

			who knew what the right thing to do was and decided that they weren't going to do it. The people who
knew what was the right thing to believe, but they decided that they're not going to believe in
that.
		

			And they die like that. Those are the only people that have lost power to auto isn't going to
forgive. But if you change your mind and say you're sorry, it doesn't matter what you've done
before. A lot is going to forgive you because Allah is Al honey.
		

			That's all for tonight. I said I'm like I'm going off to La
