Sacred Reflection

Al-Jabbār is not a tyrant.

He is a healer of shattered things.

Yes, His Name carries force.

But it is the force of restoration.

The loving, divine insistence

that what was broken shall not stay that way.

In Sufi cosmology, Al-Jabbār is the One who tends to what you have no access to.

The wound too deep.

The exile too far.

The ache too hidden.

When you say, “I can’t fix this,”

He answers, “But I can. And I will.”

He compels the soul toward wholeness.

Not against your will,

but on behalf of your truth.

He pulls you out of places where even your healing parts won’t go.

He reaches under the rubble.

He insists,

This part of you belongs back in the light.

He is not afraid of your ruin.

He is the One who kneels in it.

And even when you try to stay small,

even when you resist love,

even when your parts say, “I’m too broken to come home,”

Al-Jabbār says,

You don’t get the final word.

Love does.

Parts Work Invitation

What part of you has stopped trying?

The one that whispers,

“It’s too late for me…”

“I’ve tried everything…”

“I’m just broken.”

That part does not need pep talks.

It does not need strategies.

It needs Al-Jabbār.

Let it feel this:

There is a Love that refuses to leave you shattered.

There is a Presence that goes where you cannot

and stitches what you abandoned.

Let that part rest.

Let it give up its effort

.Let it be restored by something deeper than effort.

You do not need to fix yourself.

Al-Jabbār is already reaching in.

Already gathering the pieces.

Already whispering wholeness.

Let Him do what only He can do.
