"Because You Are Allah" is a journey into understanding the meaning of nine of Allah's names: Al-Samad, Al-Hafiz, Al-Latif, Al-Shafi, Al-Wakeel, Al-Shakoor, Al-Jabbar, Al-Hadi, Al-Ghafoor, Al-Qareeb. This book will introduce you to who you are without Him; nothing. His blessings upon us are countless, and we remain heedless.
And from the book's atmosphere:
"In the Shadows of Al-Samadiyyah:
Al-Samad is a name of immense awe, strong in its letters, lofty in meaning, rarely mentioned, and possessing a special majesty.
If needs besiege you, calamities strike you, worries surround you, and your soul flees towards the unknown, then you need to turn to Him in your need (tasmodu ilayh).
He will provide you with all that you need to be strong in this life, face your reality with pride, and overcome your complexes with determination!
Al-Samad is the one to whom all creation turns for their needs (asmodu ilayh), meaning they seek refuge in Him, and this is the most sublime meaning of this name. He is the one sought in desires, the one called upon in calamities, and the one sought in times of distress.
He has surrounded you with needs so that you may surround yourself with His names and attributes, and this is the meaning of Al-Samadiyyah."
"Al-Hafiz:
If you feel that your life is in danger, or that illness threatens your health, or your son is far from you and you fear for him being lost or falling in with bad company, or that the wealth you have accumulated is on the verge of dissipation and ruin, then know that you need to know that one of the names of your Lord, may He be glorified, is "Al-Hafiz," and that you should renew your faith in this great name, and that the time has come to reflect and ponder upon it..
He alone is the one who preserves your life, preserves your health, preserves your children, preserves your wealth, and preserves everything in this life!"
