Some prayers feel like they begin before the words even start. God Centered Spirituality offers a way into one such prayer, a long and intimate supplication attributed to Imam Ali ibn al Husayn (a), often recited during the nights of Ramadan.
This commentary approaches the du'a with quiet attention. It does not rush to explain. It pauses where the original text pauses. It listens as the speaker speaks of God's mercy, his own forgetfulness, and the long journey between the two.
Throughout the commentary there is an invitation to read more slowly. The du'a is not seen as a checklist of hopes or fears but as a space to become aware. Aware of one's need, of one's worth, and of God's nearness.
This book does not claim to capture everything the du'a contains. Instead it opens a door and suggests that the reader might walk through at their own pace.
It is a quiet offering for those seeking to reflect more deeply during nights of prayer or moments of stillness. The words of the du'a remain at the center, with the commentary there not to explain them away but to sit beside them.
God Centered Spirituality is available in print and audio formats.
