ZIYAADAH TADHKIRAH - SYMBOLIC TASBEEH
I have designed and made this symbolic tasbeeh which I have named Ziyaadah Tadhkirah.... this is because inshallah it will give its student/reciter increase in good and is a reminder a lesson and a means of dhikr [remembrance] of Allah.
It directs the searcher to see that every moment, every organ, every sense, every direction, thought, motive...the outward and the inward universe, the earth and sky can all be utilized to raise one's degree... I need to make one of these myself...I only have a more basic one for myself which contains only a couple of symbols...but the ziyaadah tadhkirah tasbeeh contains a lifetime's halaqaat!
The symbols represented by the numbers, colours on this tasbeeh create doorways in the reality for the dhaakir.... It is like an alchemical diagram so that the Islamic thought process and inward awakening is available...One who posseses this will be reminded to make valuable dhikr/fikr/shukr all the time due to its deep implications
Many years ago i wrote an article or gathered daleels on the status of night time in Islam, there are many ayaat and ahadeeth that tell us night is totally different to day...and it has many benefits and hidden blessings, and doorways open up... I don't see in the daytime the type of things that are unveiled to me in the night... You can run a search for ayaat about night and see all the information that is connected with it. Night is of course when the Quran was first sent down, night is which contains the special last third for Divine assistance and response, and many other issues... This then is a reminder to utilize the night..for qurbah, ghurbah, tadabbur, dhikr, dua, tafakkur etc. The one who utilizes the night throughout his life will have a very different result to those who do not, here and hereafter.
concerning the three beads... accounting hearing, heart & sight then this corresponds to the ayah, “And follow not that of which you have no knowledge. Verily! The hearing and the sight and the heart, of each of those you will be questioned.” (al Israa 17:36)
and concerning the seven heavens, "It is He Who hath created for you all things that are on earth; Moreover His design comprehended the heavens, for He gave order and perfection to the seven firmaments; and of all things He hath perfect knowledge." (al Baqarah 2:29) & "And, indeed, We have created above you seven [celestial] orbits: and never are We unmindful of [any aspect of Our] creation." (al Mu'minoon 23:17) and many more ayaat on this
We could easily write volumes on what is represented here and its benefits...but every person can approach it in his own way...
