IntentionInvocationTo invoke the Divine MercyThe All-Beneficent, The One who makes exemptions to the Divine Law.

Arabic:
The ocean symbolizes Unity, whereby Ar-Rahman and Ar-Rahim are like ebb and flow.

“Mercy” encompasses compassion, sympathy and the ability to forgive. There is a form of mercy that manifests before the need for it arises, a compassion that flows continuously from the divine to all creatures.

Ar-Rahim is humankind’s grace and salvation. 
— Rosina-Fawzia Al-Rawi

Hazrat Inayat Khan:
One of the Wazifa given for character development, to make a person mild in nature.

Pir Vilayat:
God is sharing in the suffering of all those who pay the price of pain. 

The work of the saint is to console the wretched, to take under the wings of mercy and compassion those left alone in life, to bless the souls that he meets on his path. It is entering into the consciousness of a person suffering and taking upon oneself part of the burden. It is the way of the broken heart, thinking of one’s heart as being part of God’s heart. 

Suggested archetype: Mother Teresa of Calcutta

Susanna & Puran Bair:
To ask for an exemption to the law of cause and effect; to quiet the echo in the dome. 

Those who study life see its mechanical aspect, where the patterns of the past repeat in the present. Those who feel the Being of Life know It is not captured in its patterns; It is free, and evolving. The consequence of this is that there exists a “pull of the future” to become incomparable greater, and the pull of the future is greater than the push of the past. Ya Rahim connects us to what we are being prepared for. The events of the past don’t make sense until we consider the future to which they are giving birth. 

“Mercy” means “the normal consequences do not apply”. Since all that happens to anyone happens to The One (Ya Rachman), the Divine Mercy means that the One and Only Being absorbs the consequences of all hurt and harm so that the reaction to harm does not affect those who cause harm.

Say “Ya Ra-heem” out loud, elongating the “ee”, 33X, invoking the Divine Mercy.
Direct the energy of the sound out of the heart, upward, like a request.
The sound of Ra-him emphasizes and enlongates the second syllable, pronounced “HEEM. 
The “EE” should be on one constant note, not wavering.

The feeling is, “I am asking for something to be given to me.”

Think “Ra-heem” as you breathe in, receiving the Divine Mercy, 33X
