Thursday, Feb. 16, 2023

Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim
In the name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful.

Ya Ali Madad. Let us first declare our noble intentions which are listed below. You may add your own list after this. Then we will say the prayer for the day and the anchor prayer.

Ya NOOR Mowlana Hazar Imam, we pray for:

Mushkil Asaan for the global Jamat
Material, spiritual & intellectual upliftment of the global Jamat
Salvation of all departed souls
Peace for the whole humanity
(Add your personal list here, if you wish)

Let us reflect on the 85th beautiful Divine name:

085	Dhul-Jalaali-wal-Ikram	The Possessor of Majesty and Reverence	He who is capable of bestowing Generosity and Honor upon His creatures.	Yaa-Dhul-Jaalali-wal-Ikram

The Divine Name 'Dhul-Jalāli-wal-Ikrām' is a great name and has been used in the context of the Face of God in Surah Rahmaan (55:26-28):

Kullu man 'alay-haa faan: Wa yabqaa Wajhu Rabbika Dhul-Jalāli-wal-Ikrām Fabi-'ayyi 'aalaaa-'q Rabikumaa tukazzibaan?	All that is on earth will perish: (55:26) But will abide (forever) the Face of thy Lord, full of Majesty, Bounty and Honour. (55:27) Then which of the favours of your Lord will ye deny? (55:28)

Now let us reflect on the tawil of 'Wajh Allah' (Face of Allah):

"According to the verse (48:10), if it is true that the hand of God can be represented, then it is also true that His face can be represented, as Mawlā Ali has said: "I am the face of God in the heavens and the earth", as is said in verse (28:88): "Everything is perishable except His face." (Kawkub, p. 206). The face of Allah, His Vision and His recognition, all these attributes are the attributes of the exalted Imam." [Source: A Thousand Wisdoms. Tawil No. 917]

For today's session, let us use a bouquet of Yā Dhul-Jalāli-wal-Ikrām tasbi to grasp the glory of the Face of the Lord.

Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim
In the name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful.

Yā Dhul-Jalāli-wal-Ikrām, Yā Dhul-Jalāli-wal-Ikrām
(O Mowla, Your Face is full of Majesty, Bounty and Honour)

Al-hamdu lillahi rabbil 'alamin.
Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the worlds!

Global Prayers and Three Grand Aspirations
Through the barakat of recitation of dhikr tasbis and angelic salwat by many individuals of the global Jamat, O Noor Mowlana Hazar Imam, bless the global Jamat with:

Spiritual and luminous tayid (help) to advance materially, spiritually and intellectually;
Sunshine in our spiritual hearts and actualization of the inner vision of the Truth;
Empowerment to present a Material Nazrana of time, knowledge and financial resources;
Empowerment to present a Spiritual Nazrana in the form of a pure heart which is in a state of constant dhikr; and
Empowerment to present a Luminous Nazrana in the form of a sound heart (qalb-i salim) which is in a state of constant dhikr and enlightenment.
