Chapter 1.7. The Life Of The Heart
In the narrated dua there occurs,
Make the Quran the nurturer (rabi) of our hearts and the light of our chest. [Ahmad]
Rabi: means the rain that descends from the sky and nourishes the plants. The Arabs call the season in which the rain first descends al-Rabi due to the fall of rain which causes growth (of produce). The non-Arabs call the season that follow winter al-Rabi because in this season the plants from which fruit is produced blossom and the leaves on the trees appear.
