Sacred Reflection

Al-Mubdi’ is the first spark.

The silent beginning before beginnings existed.

The One who creates without needing a model,

without copying,

without returning to old patterns.

He originates.

Not from memory.

Not from repetition.

But from an endless well of Divine imagination.

Every angel, every star, every soul,

every truth that has ever unfolded

began in the hidden chambers of His intention.

And you.

Your essence,

your strange beauty,

your longings and capacities.

You were not an accident of biology

or a rearrangement of old designs.

You were initiated by Al-Mubdi’.

Brought forth by a God who begins things with purpose.

In Sufi cosmology, this Name means creation without reference.

Utter originality.

The kind of beginning that has never been seen before

and will never be seen again.

This means nothing in you is a copy.

Nothing in you is a leftover.

Nothing in you is recycled from someone else’s story.

He began you from Himself.

And nothing begun in Him is ever meaningless.

And when you feel lost,

when life collapses into confusion,

when you fear you have ruined everything,

Al-Mubdi’ whispers:

“I can begin again

.I can bring forth newness where you see only ruin.

Creation is not a past tense with Me.”

There is no place where He cannot start over.

There is no darkness where He cannot ignite the first light.

Parts Work Invitation

What part of you believes it has no fresh start left?

The one that murmurs:

“I’ve already messed up too much.”

“I’ve run out of chances.”

“Nothing new can come from this.”

Invite that part into the presence of Al-Mubdi’.

Let it hear:

“I originate life from nothing.

Do you think your emptiness frightens Me?

Your blank pages are My favorite canvas.”

Let it feel:

A beginning does not require readiness.

It does not require worthiness.

It requires only the willingness to stand in the presence

of the One who makes beginnings out of the void.

Let this part soften into the truth that:

Your story is not stuck.

Your soul is not finished.

Your possibilities are not exhausted.

Al-Mubdi’ is still creating.

Still beginning.

Still bringing forth the unseen.

And He has not yet spoken

your final chapter.
