43 Eye of the Tiger - Al Qahhar (The Subduer) USA
Continuing on from last week on the theme of movies, one of my old time favourite movies is Rocky. The song "Eye of the Tiger" immediately came to mind when I read about the name Al Qahhar. Sometimes I wonder whether I can ever related to any of the 99 names I look at. It always amazes me how the right song always shows itself. For me the music helps me understand these concepts within these names. As always I seek a deeper meaning and understanding and not one that just sits on the surface. Whilst watching the movie I can feel the intensity of the name below being demonstrated by the character Rocky and in Rocky 4 there is montage to this song which I love, love, love. In my own life my current focus or battle is around my sons education. The education system of my country as with any system presents itself as the only and dominant idea. My journey has been to reduce their ideas and grow my own. To hold my worldview intensily and require everyone else to meet me where I am. I will not be reduced by the system to think small or in a limited way about my child's education.
How are you winning in your battles?
According to my source the 15th Name Al Qahhar is a strength that overwhelms all else. A physical-plane meaning from the same root is the searing effect that fire has on a a piece of meat, which gets the juices flowing. The fire is the love and the meat is the heart. Al Qahhar is continuous and repetitive. it brings the passionate fire of longing. Its presence means that regardless of outward circumstances you still long for God in your heart and nothing will put out this flame. Al Qahhar’s reality causes the personality shell to dissolve. The process may feel like hell on earth, the al qahhar overwhelms all attachment. It consumes othernesss, leaving only Allah. It defeats your lower self but doesnt break you in doing so. It shows you that in truth you are undefeatable. It transforms what you are from raw meant to cooked meat because of its instensity
So tell me about your favourite soundtracks and what they mean to you personally.
