🔅🌼 Renewal and creation through Duʿa 6 🌼🔅
Examine your monotheism every day.
With a new year—and likewise with each new day—a person becomes new.
Through Duʿa 6 of al-Sahifa al-Sajjadiyya, each day and each night, a person rises and ascends toward God as a new work of art and a new servant.
Duʿa 6 is a prayer of flight, a prayer of renewal and of passing from freshness to what is fresher still.
Through Duʿa 6, in every moment we begin a new year and a new stretch of our lives.
Reduce your year to moments; reduce the years of your life to moments. Every moment is a hologram of eternity past and eternity to come.
🔅🌼 The mysteries of the sixth duʿa of al-Sahifa al-Sajjadiyya 🌼🔅
Night and day are God’s treasury of mysteries, His everlasting workshop of creation.
Night and day are an exhibition and a theater in which God’s majesty and beauty are manifested.
The center of innovation: viewed through the frame of night and day, the panorama of existence is renewed and recreated in every age! Indeed, new events and scenes appear within it at every moment!
A person must look upon the world and its realities with the very essence of the soul!
❇️Essential rigidity
Awaken, free and nurture your artistic sensibility, so that you may witness the world’s renewed creations, fresh beginnings and new wonders.
The reason we fail to perceive changes, renewals and new creations is sensory and essential rigidity: an essence imprisoned in the past.
✨🔆 The All-Merciful, 29 يَسْئَلُهُ مَنْ فِي السَّماواتِ وَ الْأَرْضِ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ هُوَ في شَأْنٍ
🔆All who are in the heavens and the earth beseech Him; every day He is engaged in a new affair!
❇️Every moment is a momentary resurrection
💫🔆قَالَ: «إِنَّ النَّبِيَّ (صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ) قَالَ: قَالَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى: كُلَّ يَوْمٍ هُوَ فِي شَأْنٍ، فَإِنَّ مِنْ شَأْنِهِ أَنْ يَغْفِرَ ذَنْباً، وَ يُفَرِّجَ كَرْباً، وَ يَرْفَعَ قَوْماً وَ يَضَعَ آخَرِينَ».
🔆The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said: God, Exalted is He, said: “Every day He is engaged in a new affair; among His affairs are that He forgives a sin, dispels a sorrow, raises one people and lowers others.”
💫🔆 فِي مَجْمَعِ الْبَيَانِ وَ عَنْ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ His family فِي قَوْلِهِ: «كُلَّ يَوْمٍ هُوَ فِي شَأْنٍ» قَالَ: مِنْ شَأْنِهِ أَنْ يَغْفِرَ ذَنْباً وَ يُفَرِّجَ كَرْباً، وَ يَرْفَعَ قَوْماً وَ يَضَعَ آخَرِينَ.
🔆In the commentary Majmaʿ al-Bayan, it is narrated from Abu al-Dardaʾ that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family), speaking about God’s words, “Every day He is engaged in a new affair,” said: “Among His affairs are that He forgives a sin, dispels a sorrow, raises one people and lowers others.”
🔸At every moment, God’s decrees and will are in effect!
🔸God, the Exalted, is the absolute sovereign of every moment!
🔸Every day is God’s royal throne!
❇️God’s wonders are renewed and unfolding at every moment
💫🔆عَنْ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ وَ فِيهَا: الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي لَا يَمُوتُ وَ لَا تَنْقَضِي عَجَائِبُهُ، لِأَنَّهُ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ هُوَ فِي شَأْنٍ مِنْ أَحْدَاثٍ بَدِيعٍ لَمْ يَكُنْ.
🔆It is related from the Commander of the Faithful (peace be upon him) that he said: “Praise be to God, who does not die and whose wonders never come to an end; for every day He is engaged in a new affair, bringing about events unlike any that came before.”
