Sacred Reflection

Al-Qadīr is the Power that lacks nothing.

The Hand that holds every outcome.

The Force behind every unfolding.

He is not just powerful. He is all Power.

But this Power is not reckless.

It is not domination

It is precision.

It is mercy wrapped in might.

In Sufi knowing, Al-Qadīr is the One

whose will cannot be resisted,

yet whose decree is always exact, measured not only by justice,

but by tenderness.

He doesn’t just move mountains.

He aligns atoms.

He orchestrates the unseen

with such mastery

that even your detours

become doorways.

And when you feel powerless,

when your strength runs out,

when your path disappears, this Name rises like a sunrise over rubble:

I still can.

Al-Qadīr does not wait for your plan.

He moves according to Divine wisdom, and nothing can stop what He has willed.

This is not permission to surrender into despair.

It is invitation

to rest in something stronger than control.

Because Al-Qadīr is not just the One who can.

He is the One who knows when.

And nothing, nothing, is beyond His reach.

Parts Work Invitation

What part of you feels helpless?

The one that says,

“I’ve tried everything…”

“It’s never going to change…”

“There’s nothing left I can do…”

Let that part hear the Name: Al-Qadīr.

Let it feel what it’s like

to no longer bear the weight of outcomes.

Let it know:

“You were never meant to carry this alone.

You are not the Source.

You are not the Power.

You are the one being held by it.”

Let this part breathe again.

Let it rest in the arms of a Love

that does not need your strength

to make miracles.

Let it hear:

“I am still able.

Even here.

Especially here.

Where you’ve run out, I begin.”

There is nothing too ruined.

Nothing too far gone.

No situation beyond the reach

of Al-Qadīr’s decree.

Let this part release its grip.

Not into collapse, but into confidence.

Because the One who holds all Power

also holds you.
