As-Samee'; The All-Hearing
As-Samee' is one of the 99 names of Allah in Islam, which means "The All-Hearing" or "The All-Listener". This name of Allah is a reminder to all believers that Allah hears everything we say, sees everything we do, and is aware of everything that is going on in our lives.
The name As-Samee' appears in several places in the Quran, such as in Surah Al-Baqarah, where Allah says:
And Allah is Hearing and Knowing (2:256)
This verse emphasizes that Allah is not only capable of hearing everything, but He also knows the intention behind every word that is spoken.
The name As-Samee' also reminds us that Allah is always listening to our prayers and supplications, no matter where we are or what time of day it is. We can call upon Him at any moment, and He will always hear our cries for help.
In the Holy Quran, it is mentioned:
قَدْ سَمِعَ ٱللَّهُ قَوْلَ ٱلَّتِى تُجَـٰدِلُكَ فِى زَوْجِهَا وَتَشْتَكِىٓ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ وَٱللَّهُ يَسْمَعُ تَحَاوُرَكُمَآ ۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ سَمِيعٌۢ بَصِيرٌ
Certainly has Allah heard the speech of the one who argues with you, [O Muhammad], concerning her husband and directs her complaint to Allah. And Allah hears your dialogue; indeed, Allah is Hearing and Seeing. (58:1)
Moreover, this name of Allah teaches us to be mindful of our speech and actions. We should always be careful of what we say and do, as Allah is always listening and watching. We should also be mindful of the impact of our words on others, as they too have the power to affect the lives of those around us.
As-Samee' is a both a Jamali and a Jalali name, and Allah will fulfill the desire of a person who recites this name 500, 100 or 50 times on Thursday after Chasht prayer.
In addition, the name As-Samee' highlights the importance of listening attentively to others. We should be attentive listeners and give others the respect and attention they deserve when they speak to us. Listening carefully also helps us to gain a better understanding of others' perspectives and enables us to communicate more effectively.
In conclusion, the name As-Samee' is a powerful reminder of Allah's all-encompassing knowledge and omnipresence. It inspires us to be mindful of our words and actions and to be attentive listeners to others.
May Allah grant us the ability to embody the qualities of As-Samee' in our daily lives.
Take care of yourselves.
