Ya Ali Madad and Ramadan Mubarak! This post for the auspicious eleventh night of Holy Ramadan has five parts:

1. A gem of knowledge from Pir Pandiyat-i Jawanmardi, or "Advices of Manliness" of Imam NOOR Mowlana Shah Mustansir bi'l-laah II;
2. Two verses from the beautiful ginan of Pir Ali Akbar Beg (r.a.);
3. Luminous dhikr of Noore Karim, Daaras-Salaam;
4. Angelic salwat which is the anchor tasbi for the project; and
5. Global Prayers and Three Grand Aspirations.

 

Part 1: Teaching of Imam NOOR Mowlana Shah Mustansir bi'l-laah II (a.s.)
In Pir Pandiyat-i Jawanmardi, Imam NOOR Mowlana Shah Mustansir bi'l-laah II (a.s.) teaches us about how to occupy a place near the throne of the Lord:

 

Part 2: Teaching of Pir Ali Akbar Beg
How can we occupy a place near the throne of the Lord? In his ginan Aavine besone gothadi kariye, Pir Ali Akbar Beg's guidance is to practise meditation, observe religious vows, and reflect on the eternal truths which are in the ginans. All these will lead to the experience of being in the immortal abode of paradise. In our faith, this is possible and our great Pirs experienced paradise while being physically alive on this earth. The experience to be near the throne and under the umbrella of the pure light of the Holy Imam should be the ultimate goal of one's physical existence.

 

If you have the time, please follow this link to see the text, the literal translation of the other verses, and audio of this ginan. These verses of supplication soften, heal and purify the soul, and prepare it for enlightenment.

 

Part 3: Dhikr Section:
Let us perform the luminous dhikr of Noore Karim, Daaras-Salaam with utmost humility and tenderness of the heart.

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

Noore Karim, Daaras-Salaam
With the wasila of Noore Karim, I yearn for the Abode of Peace

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

 

Part 4: Angelic Salwat
Let us now start presenting a nazrana of angelic salwats to our beloved NOOR Mowlana Shah Karim Al-Hussaini Hazar Imam for blessings, guidance and empowerment for the fulfillment of our noble wishes. May our beloved Noor Mowlana Hazar Imam continually keep us on the Right Path. Ameen.

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

Allâhumâ salli alâ Muhammadin wa âle Muhammad:
O Allah! Bestow Peace on and through Muhammad and his Descendants

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