The Ṣaḥīfa al-Sajjādiyya is no ordinary book of supplications. It is a collection of some of the most sophisticated systems for cultivating the inner self and algorithms for elevating the human spirit. In the course “Sajjādian Technologies: Engineering the Soul in the Mirror of the Ṣaḥīfa,” based on the incisive teachings and analyses of Professor Ali Sanaei, the supplications of Imam Zayn al-ʿĀbidīn (AS) are taught as spiritual technologies for breaking free of inner struggles and ascending to the highest levels of human flourishing.
What you will learn along the way:
- An analysis of the epistemological and linguistic structure of the Ṣaḥīfa al-Sajjādiyya’s prayers
- How to use the Supplication for Noble Moral Traits as a roadmap for guiding conduct and disciplining the self
- How to address fundamental anxieties and despair through the practice of earnest, persistent supplication
- How to cleanse the soul of sins and resentments through the methodology of Imam Sajjad’s (AS) Supplication of Repentance
