Beginning Again

الْمُبْدِئُ

Al-Mubdiʼ — The Originator

إِنَّهُ هُوَ يُبْدِئُ وَيُعِيدُ

Lo! He it is Who produceth, then reproduceth

Surah Al-Burūj (85:13)

Niat

Today, I will complete this chapter knowing that Al-Mubdiʾ is already originating the next one.

Renungan

Al-Mubdiʾ: as one year ends, another begins. Al-Mubdiʾ originates beginnings from endings. The completion of this book is not the end of your journey with the Names — it is the beginning of living them. Every day after this journey ends is the start of a deeper one.

Tentang ayat ini

Originates and repeats — yubdiʾu wa yuʿīd. The cycle continues. The journey spirals upward.

Doa

The du'a upon waking — every morning is a new beginning. Every year-end is a new year's start.

Hadis

The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: 'The most beloved of deeds to Allah are those done consistently, even if they are small.'
