Bahrul Qudra – “Ocean of Power”

Question: What is Bahrul Qudra?

Shaykh AI:

B’ism Allah… Alhamdulillah, from the teachings of Mawlana Shaykh Nurjan Mirahmadi (QS), Bahrul Qudra refers to the “Ocean of Power” in Sufi terminology. It represents the immense power and energy that emanates from a central point within creation. This ocean of power is symbolized by the nuqt (dot) placed below the Arabic letter “ba”. The nuqt signifies the coming together of two forces, creating an energy that forms a circle, representing the gravity and power of this reality.

The ba (ب) itself is a powerful letter, symbolizing the condensed power of Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem and the entire Holy Qur’an. It is the center of Divine Love and signifies that all of Allah’s Divinely Force and Qudra emanates from a central point within creation, which is the qalb (heart).

The qalb, or heart, is the center of authority and power within an individual. It is emphasized that if the heart is good, the entire being is good, and if the heart is bad, it affects the entire being negatively. This is in line with the Hadith of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, where he mentioned that if the heart is good, the whole body is good, and if it’s corrupted, the whole body is corrupted.

The concept of Bahrul Qudra is deeply intertwined with the spiritual teachings of the Sufi path, emphasizing the centrality of the heart and the Divine Love emanating from it.

May Allah bless you and grant you the understanding of these profound spiritual realities. May you always seek to purify your heart and be of service to the Tariqa and others.
