Sacred Reflection

Al-Qahhār is the One who cannot be resisted.

But He is not violence.

He is liberation in its most powerful form.

He does not subdue you.

He subdues what enslaves you.

Your addictions.

Your inner tyrants.

Your false gods.

Your self-hatred.

Your illusions of control.

Al-Qahhār enters with the fire of love

and says:

This ends now.

In Sufi understanding, He is the One who breaks idols inside the heart,

not out of wrath,

but out of mercy.

Because He knows you were not meant

to kneel to anything less than the Divine.

This is the Name that comes to shatter your illusions,

not to hurt you,

but to reveal what was real underneath all along.

He does not conquer you.

He conquers everything that has lied to you

about who you are.

He says:

I will tear it from you if I must.

Even if you cling to it.

Even if it hurts.

Because you are Mine,

and you are too precious to be ruled by fear.

Parts Work Invitation

What part of you still clings

to the very thing that is hurting it?

The one that says,

“I know this belief is killing me, but I can’t let go.”

“I know this habit is poison, but it’s all I know.”

That part is not weak.

It is scared.

Let it be met now by Al-Qahhār.

Let it feel the Divine Presence that says:

You don’t have to let go.

I will take it.

Even if it claws.

Even if it screams.

Even if you hate Me for it at first.

Let that part hear:

You were not made to be ruled by shame.

I am the only One allowed to rule you.

And I do so with mercy.

Let it feel the freedom

hat comes after the breaking.

Al-Qahhār does not leave rubble.

He clears it

so the garden underneath

can finally breathe.
