In the same way that you should exercise for your muscles to become strong, in exactly the same way, the way to start to increase spiritual power is with mind exercises. Exercising the mind is through mind control. My mind shouldn’t wander everywhere. My mind should go where I order it to go. In the same way that when you exercise you strengthen your arm, Allamah Tabatabai has given exercises for controlling the mind.
Allamah Tabatabai said in his book “Risalah al-Wilayah,” “Choose a quiet place, where there isn’t anything to attract your attention such as lights, noise, etc. Then, sit in such a way that you won’t become busy doing something else or be distracted. Keep your eyes closed. Then, imagine the shape of the letter ‘A’ or one of the Names of God in such a way that your attention be completely on that. Be careful that no imaginary figures enter the shape of ‘A.’
At this time, which is the beginning of the way, you will see that other imaginary figures interrupt you. They try to make your mind dark and confused. Many of these thoughts are not recognizable or identifiable. They are your daily thoughts, and your goals and desires. These thoughts may even be about whom you are going to meet in an hour. This is while you are only looking at the shape of ‘A’ in your imagination and paying attention to that. These disconcerting images will be with you and continue for a while.
So, if you continue evacuating and cleaning away these disrupting images - when they come to your mind, you push them aside - after a while you will see that those images are becoming less. They decrease every day and your thinking becomes luminous. This continues to the extent that you feel whatever comes to your heart and mind is so bright that it is as if you are seeing it with your eyes. Then, gradually these images become less every day. Until, there won’t be any other images left with the shape of ‘A.’”
Don’t let bad words come to your mind. This is the root. You should control your mind. Controlling your mind means that no one should be able to drag your attention to a place you don’t want it to go. If a person wants to drag your attention towards something, he should get permission from you.
If you want to, you should be able to redirect your attention. Mind power means that you are able to think about a subject as much as you want. As much as you want, one hour or two hours. Ok, I will think about it for two hours. The ability to control one’s mind means that you are able to think about a subject deeply, not superficially. It means you can focus deeply.
In the same way that you should exercise for your muscles to become strong, the way to start to increase spiritual power is with mind exercises. Exercising the mind is through mind control. My mind shouldn’t wander everywhere. My mind should go where I order it to go.

[@mohamedtrasheed531]

And for someone who's following the ENGLISH subtitles would be assuming that "ALIF" begins with the letter A..which is technically correct...wallah Aulam. But remember, Q.A.F are just letters. But the QAREEN Within the NAFS is in everyone. May the most merciful and most compassionate and most forgiving be as merciful as ever.

Wandering of thoughts I think is most people are afflucted with ,May Allah reward you for enlightening us

[@MentalHealthMastery]

Salam, the first time I tried this out it had a profound effect on me and my concentration literally grew exponentially. However, recently when I try I can’t even focus on getting the letter, “A”. Or I think of different “A”s I.e. in different colors. Does anyone know how I can overcome this and have they had this issue? Thank you 🙏🏽

[@masumam.2123]

Maybe you should focus on sound then. For example the sound of the clock for five minutes or something. That might help...

[@MentalHealthMastery]

Masuma thank you. I will try, Insha’Allah.

[@roya.p98]

I think that's normal because you're growing spiritually and it will get harder to control your thoughts. What helped me was strengthening my determination before starting. Being more serious with my intention. Also, ask for Imam Mahdi a.j to help you with it.

For how much time period should I practice it daily ?

[@basharat7402]

same my question

[@roya.p98]

I started doing this in my prayers. So everytime I have to pray, I'd practice it and the effect it had on the quality of my prayer was unbelievable. I guess you could try that. Or start small...whenever you have the time for five minutes and then increase it day by day. I reached the point where I'd focus on whaterve I want to focus on for even an hour! enshaAllah you'll get there too.

یعنی یکی از اسما خدا رو تو ذهنت تصور کنی مثلاً کلمه قادر یا رحمان یا رحیم و غیره.خود کلمه رو تصور کن و اجازه نده که هر اسم یا شکل دیگری توی ذهنت بیاد.میگن اولش سخته ولی کم کم با تمرین ذهنت قوی میشه و میتونی کنترل ذهنتو در دست بگیری.

Lol he’s tryna make them meditate

[@caffeshoppe]

ok? meditation helps clear the mind. religion itself is a form of meditation. a place of peace and mental strength. don't see anything wrong with his suggestion.

[@Ali19391]

The prophet Muhammad himself in the cave used to meditate but people mostly think of like modern meditation
