Call & Response with God

This is a practice of ‘call and response’ with Allah.  One calls upon Allah’s quality and then one watches and/or listens receptively to see or hear the response.
 

It is almost unbelievable, but Allah does respond through the life that is around one at the moment.  This practice deeply attunes us to the Divine Presence in Life.

To do this practice use one or all of the following 3 essential Illahis (divine names or qualities): Subhanallah, Alhumdulilah, Allahhu-Akbar. 
 

The form of the Practice:

Exhaling say silently or aloud 3 times: Subhanallah;

Then watch and listen for the Divine Glory that is manifesting around you.

Exhaling say silently or aloud 3 times: Alhumdulilah;

Then watch and listen for the Divine Praise and Exultation that is manifesting around you;

Exhaling say silently or aloud 3 times: Allahhu-Akbar;

Then watch and listen for the Divine Greatness, Grandeur or Power that is manifesting around you;

Perceiving the response is not a matter of using the mind but rather the heart – become receptive and let Allah’s response arise within the perception of one’s heart.

Allah answers your call with “beingness” not thoughts. This is quite a deep practice that compliments that of Shagal Alakasar given by Pir-O-Murshid Inayat Khan.

Note:

To enhance your ability to perceive Allah’s response, you can recite the following Wazifa 33 times:

Ya Sami – Ya Basir - The All Hearing and the All Seeing.
