Learning Spirituality from Imam Husayn (a): A Commentary on Du'a 'Arafah offers a step-by-step engagement with one of the most profound supplications in Islamic tradition. Attributed to Imam Husayn (a) and recited on the Day of Arafah, the du'a explores the relationship between the human being and the Divine through themes of gratitude, humility, and deep introspection.
The commentary does not present abstract theology. Instead, it invites the reader to sit with the words slowly and reflectively. It is a reading of the du'a that values tone as much as meaning and encourages readers to notice what the words are doing, not just what they say.
The text returns often to the tension between human weakness and divine generosity.
“He teaches us to look at ourselves not through the lens of lack, but through the reality of having been gifted so much before we even asked.”
Another moment reads:
“Imam Husayn shows us what it means to stand before God with clarity, not hiding our flaws, but also not ignoring the dignity He has placed within us.”
The commentary observes the du'a's tone shift across its flow, from awe to vulnerability, and from praise to surrender.
“There is no rush to reach a final point. This is not a du'a that closes a transaction. It is a conversation that opens a door.”
The book is available in print, digital, and audio formats.
