When Windows Become Mirrors

The opening sermon in the series Unmeasured: Reclaiming Servitude in a Self-Centered World.Building upon the journey of Divine Love and Communion, this sermon marks a decisive turning point. Having come to know and love Allah, the servant must now confront a deeper question: Who am I before Him? Drawing upon the profound insights of Imam al-Wāsiṭī, this sermon explores how every true knowledge of Allah becomes a mirror that exposes the reality of the self. The Divine Names no longer function merely as windows through which Allah is known, but as mirrors through which the servant discovers his poverty, weakness, dependence, and need before his Lord. As the light of divine knowledge enters the heart, it not only illuminates the majesty of Allah, but also shatters the illusions the soul has long maintained about itself. The journey of love now reaches its fulfillment in truthful servitude.Produced by Hanbali Disciples.Learn more at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.hanbalidisciples.com
