1 The Name of Allah Al-Waasi Class 6 26/4/2016 مي رحبهللا هللا م سا هللا م س ب Think about the actions of Allah. We were all in our mothers stomach, which was very tight. And Allah brought us into this vast life. So just as Allah took us out from constriction into vastness, may Allah gives us Paradise, its width like the distance of the heavens and the earth. Every name of Allah affects us indirectly or indirectly. E.g. When you hear about Allah's mercy, it automatically makes you more merciful to the people, without people having to tell you to. If you don't believe in Allah, you'll think the Shari'ah is restricted and difficult. You'll look at the boundaries. But Allah is وا سع,ال and His.وا سع rules and legislations are

2 There are boundaries and restrictions in our relationships with people. You notice that any relationship in life without limitations will fail, although in the beginning it looks appealing. E.g. You allow your friend to enter your house whenever she wants, eat whatever she wants. In the end you'll both hate each other, because you'll walk over each other's rights, and see each others defects and mistakes. Boundaries bring out vastness and good results. Although you find restrictions in the Shari'ah, so much goodness comes out of it. If you want a good outcome for any relationship, follow the boundaries and rules Allah set. In [2:115]: And there's peace and vastness in the command itself. Take prayer for example. We have conditions to follow. But if you can't pray while standing, you can pray sitting. If you can't make Wudhoo, you can make Tayammum. Our religion is so flexible. In [2:185]: And in [2:286]:

3 When you have your period, you have no restrictions on that day. You don't pray Fajr, you wake up whenever you want, do whatever you want, etc. In the beginning it sounds appealing, but you're just a slave feeding your own desires that by the end of the day, you end up feeling miserable and tired. Our Nafs is demanding. The more you give, the more it wants - it's never satisfied. We need to put boundaries and discipline ourselves in the amount of messages we send, things we look at the Internet, etc. When we do that, we feel so vast and happy. It's different than when you leave yourself to yourself. The Shari'ah of Allah is good for us / ال وا سع How do I act upon the Name of Allah ال وا سع The Impacts of Believing in the Name The names of Allah should affect our behaviour and application 1) It should make you love Allah. We cannot live in life without feeling love or being loved. We love to love and we love to be loved. When you know that Allah made the religion vast, and is the One who makes everything in your life vast, you'll love Him. And this impact is an impact of all the Names and Attributes of Allah. E.g. When you know Allah is رب,ال and puts you through situations to reform you, without you even asking for it, you'll love Him.

4 That's why, in [2:165]: And love is the head of worship. If we don't love Allah, how will we worship Him? When you love Allah وا سع,ال your love will be vast. Whatever happens, you'll still love Him. And because you love Allah, you'll love everyone for Allah. It'll make you look at life through a vast perspective. Allah said in [21:35]: So if you love Allah a little, as soon as you're afflicted, this love won't stand. But when you know وا سع,ال you'll love Him no matter what happens.,ال وا سع 2) If your provision is restricted, you'll have hope that Allah will open ten doors, and give you even better quality. When provision gets constricted, instead of asking why, you'll know that it's just a test, and ال وا سع will enlarge it for you. It's like the neck

5 of the bottle - constricted, but is vast later on. If there's tightness, there's an even vaster, better relief and provision coming later. In [94:5-6]: And when the Prophet ﷺ was in the cave, in [9:40]: There was so much vastness after this. He became the leader in Madinah. So after every tightness is vastness, and this is the س نة of.عجول Allah. But the human being is

6 Or Yusuf:- from the well, and the trial with the wife of the Azeez, then in jail. Then, in [12:56]: There'll be so much vastness after the limitation. All of us face difficult periods and tightness in our time, but this tightness is good, because later will be better. The name of Allah ال وا سع helps us overcome this tightness. In [75:20-21]: The child, if it knew what was in this world, would never want to stay in its mother stomach. And no child would willingly go back there now. It's the same when we die. And Shaytan is the one who makes us feel tightness. Allah promised Adam everything in Paradise, except one tree. And the Shaytan pushed him towards this restriction. At the time of difficulties, afflictions, when the Shaytan whispers and makes you lose hope, remember this name of Allah. Never lose hope in Allah, وا سع.ال The problem in us, we just need to believe in order to solve the problem.

7 Though you think there are so many obligations in marriage, don't think it makes a person poorer or more constricted. Allah said in [24:32]: Even if the husband is poor, and they got married, Allah will enrich them. He'll give them more freedom than before. Some people say that they have more freedom in their husbands house than they ever,ال وا سع had with their parents. If you believe in the name of Allah Allah will give you more and more and more. There are 7 heavens, and the smallest one is دن يا ال سماء.ال As you go higher, as it becomes bigger. Allah have us the sky and didn't put us in a box, so we think big. Not to be like the man in the parable of the dog in [7: ]:

8 If you focus on the Dunya, you'll never be happy. In [50:6]:
