Transcript

Do not think that Allah is unaware of what the oppressors do. He only delays them to a day when their eyes will stare in horror. Just as Allah knows your pain, he knows your oppressor who causes you pain. And he will hold them to account, too, even when they feel least accountable. Sometimes it isn't your own sin that breaks you. It's someone else's perceived power. a boss who humiliates you or a family member or close friend who manipulates you or a tyrant who crushes you and somewhere in that exhaustion shan may whisper why does Allah let them keep doing this to you but before we talk about that tyrant let's establish something unique about the categories of Allah's names not every name of Allah is meant to be mirrored by us some of his names do call us to act to be merciful because he is alman or to be grateful because He is a shakur. And then there are other names that call us to be in awe like al kalik the creator or al- malik the king who executes at will or al jal his majesty. And then there are other names that are beautiful only for Allah and can actually be harmful when human beings try to claim them. These are the names you don't imitate or embody but instead you seek refuge in or from. When your oppressor mocks you, call upon. And when you're broken, call upon Al Jabar. And when egos destroy and corrupt, seek refuge.
