Al-Badīʿ (ٱلْبَدِيعُ)The Incomparable Originator, The One Who Creates Without Blueprint

Pronounced: al-Ba-DEEʿRoot: ب-د-ع (B-D-ʿ), to innovate, to bring forth something unprecedented.

Original Invocation (Arabic Calligraphy):ٱلْبَدِيعُ



Sacred Reflection


Al-Badīʿ is not a replicator.

He is not a builder using borrowed shapes.

He is the Originator, the One who brings into being what has never existed before.


No template.

No pattern.

No precedent.


In Sufi cosmology, Al-Badīʿ is the whisper before the world began.

The Divine breath that gave rise to what had never been imagined.

Creation not from raw materials, but from nothing.

From silence.

From mystery.


This means you were not made in comparison.

You were not copied from someone else.

You were not a second draft.


You are an original act of God.

A singular stroke of Divine artistry.


And when your parts ache,

longing to look like others,

wishing you had their strength, their ease, their belonging,

Al-Badīʿ whispers:

“Beloved, I made you to be what had never been seen before.”


He blesses what makes you strange

.He sanctifies what makes you unlike them.


You are not behind.

You are becoming something the world has not yet witnessed.



Parts Work Invitation


What part of you feels like it doesn’t belong?


The one who compares itself to others,

the one who says

,“I must be wrong, because I don’t fit the mold.”

“I must be flawed, because I haven’t caught up.”

“I must be late, because I don’t look like them.”


Let that part sit with Al-Badīʿ.


Let it feel what it’s like to be honored in its uniqueness, not tolerated, but treasured.


Let it hear:

“You are not lost.

You are never off-track.

You are unfolding in a shape the world has never seen,

because I, the Originator, chose you

to show a beauty that had never been known.”


Let this part soften into its strangeness.

Let it unclench from the need to match.

Let it remember, you are not a comparison.

You are a creation.


And Al-Badīʿ does not create mistakes.

Only miracles.
