Intimate prayer like this suits the sensibility of Sufis -- Ibn Arabi, Rumi, Hafez and many others became masters of it. On the one hand praying in this manner is love-talk evoking the nearness of divine reality, and on the other hand it can't help but go mute as it points to the unspeakable majesty of the Real. It's a form of prayer that endears at the same time that it is in awe.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThese prayers were written over a period of forty dawns as part of a practice (called a \u003cem\u003echilla\u003c\/em\u003e in our tradition) that I gave myself. Writing them didn't feel to me like writing in the usual way -- it was more like waiting. Waiting and listening. Then my heart would start whispering and I'd try to write it down. Often when a prayer came to its end I'd find it bewildering, and not very well written. I'd do my best to close my notebook then and not fuss with it. Coming back to them later I'd begin to hear what they were trying to say. My hope in sharing them with you is that they may do that for you too.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 54\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.11 x 8.27 x 5.83 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 05, 2017\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52747371839795,"sku":"9781635872330","price":25.81,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/STF4LzZFalFVYmExR1ZoQkpoa29GZz09_a6029359-6ea3-4c7b-a40a-03779eadfaff.webp?v=1764219695","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/munajat-forty-prayers-paperback-1","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
