Becoming familiar with some of the sweet concepts of the Shaâbaniya Supplication / Session 3
In the name of God, the Beneficent, the Merciful. In talking about the Shâabaniya Supplication, we are still talking about the first phrase. There is a very lofty concept in the first phrase, which should be discussed separately. This concept is âTadarruâ (beseeching). The Commander of the Faithful, Ali (âa), explicitly calls to the God of the universe, âI am standing between Your hands. I am poor before You and beseeching You.â I am standing in front of You like one who is very small and poor in front of one who is completely rich and great, ââŠand beseeching You.â
Beseeching is a term, which has been used seven times in the Holy Qurâan with the same meaning. Of course, itâs more than seven times. But, only in seven cases has it been used with exactly the same meaning of a person praying to God pleadingly. The fundamental meaning of beseeching is not crying. Crying is one of its results. It is the height of pleading, entreating, and being humble in front of the Almighty God. If we want to say the meaning, a person who beseeches is one who pleads a lot. A person who beseeches is one who doesnât have any pride or assets. Heâs extremely humble.
It has been said in the Holy Qurâan, âAlready We have seized them with punishment, but they neither humbled themselves to their Lord, nor did they beseech Him.â [Qurâan 23:76] After feeling distress and destitution, they didnât beseech God! In this supplication, it is as if by saying, âI am poor before You and beseeching You,â the Imam is answering this verse from the Chapter âThe Believers.â The Qurâan says, âWe have seized them with punishment, but they neither humbled themselves to their Lord...â Imam Ali replies here, âI am poor before You.â And the Qurâan says, ââŠnor did they beseech Him.â Imam Ali says in this supplication, ââŠand beseeching You.â
Beseeching has been mentioned in the Qurâan in different situations. Beseeching is a kind of pleading, which isnât hidden anymore and is apparent. This broken heart shows itself, âPray to your Lord beseechingly and in secret.â [Qurâan 7:55] This means to call God beseechingly, meaning openly, or hidden within yourself. There are other verses, which refer to this too.
The verse of the Chapter âThe Cattleâ is suitable for these days. âWhy did they not entreat when Our punishment overtook them! But their hearts had hardened, and Satan had made to seem decorous to them what they had been doing.â [Qurâan 6:43] Why didnât they beseech Us when our punishment overtook them? The Almighty God tells what He expects explicitly. When a divine tribulation comes, the servants should beseech Him. God is waiting to bring His servants under His shelter. In this verse, God asks why they didnât beseech Him. The reason they didnât beseech Him was that their hearts had become so hardened that they didnât even go to God in tribulations, âSatan had made to seem decorous to them what they had been doing.â
In the verse before this verse, God the Almighty says that He has sent this scourge for people to beseech Him, âWe have certainly sent (apostles) to nations before you, then We seized them with stress and distress so that they might entreat (Us).â [Qurâan 6:42] For us common people, this kind of beseeching God is elicited in tribulations. For those who donât beseech God, even in tribulations, their hearts have truly become hardened as the Qurâan says. But, for people with understanding and the Friends of God, beseeching God is the result of their deep understanding, extreme interest and intense ardor for the high position of being close to God. We should resolve this riddle in our minds once and forever, that is this extent of crying needed when talking to God that the Commander of the Faithful moaned to God like this? What did he really want? What punishment did he fear?!
We should accept that there is a spiritual maturity, which many donât achieve at all. This spiritual maturity is more than fearing punishment, more than the intensity of suffering that a person will tolerate in Hell, and more than the fear of a sinful person or a criminal of retribution. Some good people feel such a severe need for being close to God that if they see they are far from this intense need, even a bit, they cry to God beseechingly. Was the Commander of the Faithful a weak person for someone to see his crying, broken heart? All his existence was solidity. If the entire universe had turned upside down, he would have stood firmly and wouldnât have even flinched! He had nothing to be afraid of or to lose.
So, why did he moan to God like this? He had reached a spiritual maturity. He felt a severe need for those high spiritual positions. When he felt a bit far from that desirable point, and that peak became more novel and substantial for him every moment, he would cry pleadingly.
