In this sohbet, recorded on September 28, we are invited to contemplate how every moment of existence is a fresh act of divine origination. The talk opens with a vivid reminder that Allah never works with copies: “Allah does not use a photocopier.” Each instant is a new creation from the One who is Mübdi’ and Mu’id, the Originator and Restorer.
Every new emergence—a wave on the sea, a star in the heavens, the particular character given to each human soul—is an original manifestation of the Divine. This individuality rests on hususiyet: every person carries a distinct quality that reflects one of the Beautiful Names (Esma-i Hüsna). Our lives are not repetitions but living testimonies of Allah’s infinite creativity.
The cosmos is likened to an endless ocean whose waves rise and fall without end. Each wave has its own purpose and wisdom; no two are alike, yet together they form a harmonious whole. Our limited senses cannot grasp this totality—the pitch-black depth (simsiyah) of the heavens exceeds the human mind. This awareness teaches humility: La havle ve la kuvvete illa billâh—there is no power nor strength except through Allah.
Even when we cannot perceive every detail, nothing in creation is without meaning. The reminder that “the Names of the Almighty are constantly manifesting” encourages us to seek hüsn-ul-fahm—clear understanding—and to anchor our hearts in gratitude for these ever-new signs.
May this contemplation deepen our connection with the Source and inspire us to live the wisdom revealed in each unique moment.
Continue this journey of remembrance with fellow seekers in our live gatherings, where zikr, study and shared reflection nourish heart and mind.
