We begin in and by the Name of God the Universally Merciful, the Specifically Merciful.
“And to God belong the Beautiful Names, so Call Him by them.” Quran 7:180
A patient was sharing the Oneness in the Source of all things, and our conversation gravitated to the content this piece holds.
I received it exactly 10 years ago from friends at a going away/graduation/birthday party in Tucson, Arizona.
It used to hang in the office but has been in storage since repainting last year.
The conversation was a good reminder to rehang it. This time I hope to have a small written sign next to it to help people understand what it says.
“And to God belong the Beautiful Names, so Call Him by them.” Quran 7:180
Abi Huraira reported: “The Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, said “Allah has ninety-nine Names. Whoever preserves/protects them will enter the Garden.”
In Islamic and Sufi spiritual healing, the Name of God (Allah) is likened to the sun while the Names (99) are akin to rays of the sun. They come from the singular source and take you back.
This is a vibrational medicine to transform what lives in the heart.
