I recently returned to Montreal only to realize that I had lost my tasbih(rosary, prayer beads,mala) on the airplane. I panicked lol They are part of my being like prayer and coffee. So I quickly contacted my artisanal Tasbih maker, Net Tasbih (beautiful stuff for which I am terribly grateful) to get s replacement. Two actually-for security.
On my way across the city to his place, I asked myself why this item is so easy to lose. Then I thought of compsrable items-umbrellas and gloves that are equally easy to lose and the tajalli(inspiration) came! Of course! Umbrellas protect us from the rain; gloves protect us from the cold; and Tasbihs protect us from dunniya( worldliness) by reminding us of our Lotd. It all made sense! Alhumdulillah,
