Days of the week

Month, Day: Light, Mercy (Grace)

Glory, Jalal (Saturday)

"I entreat Thee by Thy footsteps in this wilderness, and by the words
'Here am I. Here am I.' which Thy chosen Ones have uttered in this immensity ..." Aqdas

it is only right that the Name has this day,
so much is involved, that we could never say;

Beauty, Jamal (Sunday)

"O Thou the Desire of the world and the Beloved of the nations" Aqdas

please, let not this day ever come to an end,
so much to ponder, not enough time to spend;

Perfection, Kamal (Monday)

"Deny not My servant should he ask anything from thee, for his face
is My face; be then abashed before Me. " HW #I-30

out of my face, you opportunistic crowd!
your tongues, lolling in anticipation of obtaining your spoils,
make it difficult to contemplate the Name of this day.

"Work is worship"
please! do not desecrate it!

Grace, Fidal (Tuesday)

"Thou seest, O my Lord, this wretched creature knocking at the door of Thy grace ..." Aqdas

all the while as we were (are?) climbing
from out of our start (place?) in the slime,
Grace has been there hoping for us (and helping)
that we speed our rush to the sublime;

Justice, Idal (Wednesday)

"The best beloved of all things in My sight is Justice; turn not away therefrom
if thou desirest Me, and neglect it not that I may confide in thee." HW #I-2

do not cb (no, not citizens' band) could be our cry,
and you need not wonder nor ask whence or why;
... let's just say that we have an 11th Commandment!
... besides, the group view is real;

some call this the "hump" day,
though it really lags by 24;

Majesty, Istijlal (Thursday)

"Thou seest, O my Lord, this stranger hastening to his most exalted home
beneath the canopy of Thy majesty" Aqdas

by this time we are almost done
with another of the cycles of the sun;
and the Glory day is coming with benefit and gain
let's get through Independence without causing more pain;

Independence, Istiqlal (Friday)

"Exalted art Thou above the description of anyone save Thyself, and the
comprehension of aught else except Thee." Aqdas

TGII, it seems, would be a better refrain,
if we only knew, and had half the brain,
needed to bring about the views the world is looking for;

... isn't it rightfully just for the individual to get a day?
... the winding down of one cycle allows another to get on its way.

It's interesting that the days of the week and the Valleys are of the same cardinality. Makes one think about cycles.

Remarks:

04/09/2016 -- We had a triple day, earlier, due to the new definitions.

12/05/2010 -- Need to add that, for some views, the cycles ended. This site will be used for the main Islamic information source, for awhile.

08/16/2009 -- The Operational group is approaching, and ontology is primal. One area of focus, as suggested by this post, will be mind-body studies. Somehow, insights from the Writings ought to have importance, teleological and operational.
