A Life with the Divine - 25 Names of Allah and their Everyday Expressions in Life

A Life with the Divine - 25 Names of Allah and their Everyday Expressions in Life

Tradesmen look at buildings differently depending on their trade. The carpenter casts an eye on the woodwork, the bricklayer on the brickwork, and the painter on the walls and ceilings. Similarly, the greater a person's perception of Allah's names, the greater their alertness and understanding of life. Nothing passes them by without thought and contemplation. 

When they see a display of mercy, they automatically and very naturally reflect on the names of Allah: Al Rahim (The Most Merciful), Al Ra'uf (The Pitying), Al Wadud (The Affectionate). When they sense might and awe, they are overcome with the names Al Jabbar (The Compeller), the Muntaqim (The Avenger) and Al Qahhar (The Subduer). Eventually, they reach a station where every scene that unfolds, any sin which presents itself or any opportunity that drifts by, becomes a trigger for perusal and the remembrance of Allah. The achievement of which is precisely this the objective of this book.
