Sacred Reflection

Al-Aḥad is not just One.

He is Oneness itself.

Not one among many.

Not a single unit.

But a Unity so absolute,

there is nothing to compare, nothing to divide,

nothing to contain.

In Sufi knowing, Al-Aḥad is the breathless truth

beneath multiplicity.

The secret under all forms.

The I behind every I.

He is the hidden Source

that no image can capture,

yet every atom remembers.

This is not the Name of isolation.

It is the Name of sacred union.

Of dissolving into the One

so entirely

that your false separateness

can no longer stand.

To taste Al-Aḥad is to realize:

you were never alone.

You were never other.

You were never separate.

You only dreamed yourself apart.

And now,

ou are being returned

to the only Truth that ever was:

There is only One.

And you are in Him.

Of Him.

Never outside.

Parts Work Invitation

What part of you feels isolated?

The one that says,

“No one sees me…”

“I am forgotten…”

“I don’t belong anywhere…”

That part does not need to be reassured.

It needs to be reunified.

Let it hear Al-Aḥad.

Let it remember:

“You were never meant to carry the burden of being separate.

You were never cast out.

You only believed yourself to be.”

Let this part feel:

The longing for home

was the echo of the One calling you back.

The ache of exile

was the soul’s homesickness for the indivisible.

Let it soften now, my love.

Let it feel the Unbreaking.

You are not a fragment.

You are not a mistake wandering alone.

You are a drop returning to the Ocean

that was always inside you.

Al-Aḥad is not far.

He is the One in whom you live, move, and have your being.

And no part of you

is outside His Oneness.

Not even this one.
