From the teachings of Hazrat Maulana Shah Abdur Raheem Sahab Dard (Rahmatullah Alaih)
Meaning
Al-Qaabidh means the Withholder, the Constrictor: the One who holds back and restricts provision, hearts and lives according to His wisdom.
Understanding the Name
The root q-b-ḍ means to grasp or hold in the hand. Allah says: “Allah withholds and grants abundance, and to Him you will be returned” (Al-Baqarah 2:245). Al-Qaabidh is always understood together with its partner Name, Al-Baasit (the Expander). The scholars teach that the two should be mentioned together, because Allah’s withholding is never without purpose: He restricts in order to test, to purify, to protect from harm or to prepare for something better.
The Sufis speak of the states of qabd (contraction of the heart) and bast (expansion). A seeker who feels his heart tight and heavy should know that this too is from Allah, and should remain patient until Al-Baasit opens it again.
Effects and reflections
The servant of Allah should accept Allah as the One who withholds, and should submit his will to the will of Allah. To please Allah, one should live following the example of the Prophet ﷺ, so that his whole life becomes worship.
One should reflect on the punishment described in the Qur’an and fear Allah, do good deeds, prepare for the Hereafter, and lead a balanced, measured life.
Treatment (Amal)
Write “Yā Qābiḍ” on four pieces of bread and eat them every morning for 40 days. Insha’Allah, the person will be saved from hunger, thirst and injury.
