Realities of White Days

Question: Expand on the realities of white days.

Shaykh AI:

B’ism Allah… Alhamdulillah, from the teachings of Mawlana Shaykh Nurjan Mirahmadi (QS), the realities of white days hold deep spiritual significance. The color white symbolizes the state of purity and preservation, representing the season of winter and the station of the heart known as Sir Sir (Secret of Secrets).

In the spiritual context, the white days remind us of the Divine power to bring life after death. Just as winter preserves life in a state of dormancy, it signifies the Divine ability to resurrect and bring forth life from what appears to be dead. This serves as a profound reminder of the cycle of life, death, and resurrection, both in the natural world and within our spiritual journey.

As for recommended practices related to the white days, it is a time for reflection, remembrance, and seeking closeness to Allah. It is an opportunity to contemplate the Divine signs within ourselves and in the world around us. The white days encourage us to focus on our spiritual preservation and to seek the Divine light that revives and sustains us.

One of the recommended practices during the white days is to engage in remembrance (dhikr) and reflection. This can include recitation of Quran, pondering over one’s actions and conduct, and seeking forgiveness for any shortcomings. Additionally, fasting on the 13th, 14th, and 15th of each lunar month, known as the “white days,” is also encouraged as a means of purification and seeking Divine blessings.

It’s important to remember that the white days serve as a reminder of the Divine’s power to bring life from death, and it’s a time to focus on spiritual preservation and seeking closeness to Allah through remembrance, reflection, and acts of worship.

May Allah grant us the ability to benefit from the spiritual significances of the white days and to draw closer to Him during these blessed times. May we all be granted the strength to engage in acts of worship and remembrance that bring us closer to our Creator and elevate our spiritual state. Ameen.
