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)

Knowledge Section

Let us refer to ta'wil of the word 'Ism a'zam (Supreme Name of God):

"Imam Jafar as-Sādiq has said: "Allah has concealed one name, i.e., the supreme Name and He has 360 names." (Lughāt, Sin, p. 175). The supreme Name or the great secret is in two forms: as a word and as a person. As a word, it is "al-hayy'l-qayyûm (the Everling, the Everlasting) (2:255); 3:2) and as a person it is the True Guide, i.e., the Prophet and Imam of the time (See Wajh, p. 124-29)." [Source: Tawil 64: A Thousand Wisdoms]

'Allahu laaa 'ilaaha 'illaa Huu 'Al-Hayyul-Qayyuum (Allah! There is no God save Him, the Alive, the Eternal) is the first sentence of Ayatul Kursi, the most important ayat of the Holy Qur'an 2:255). From Ismaili point of view, we say that the beloved NOOR Mowlana Hazar Imam is living and his Noor is eternal. Therefore, today we will implore him with this most powerful prayer.

Now let us use a bouquet of Yā Hayyul, Yā Qayyum tasbi for today's session.

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

Yā Hayyul, Yā Qayyum, Yā Hayyul, Yā Qayyum, Yā Hayyul, Yā Qayyum
(O my Mowla! You are living and Your Noor is eternal)

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