Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim
In the name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful.
Ya Ali Madad and Ramadan Mubarak! This post for the auspicious twentieth night of Holy Ramadan has five parts:
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 to be ready to comprehend the meaning of the Holy Imam's word and knowledge ('ilm)::
| "The good ones used to give up their relatives and their people for the sake of the didar. Others, similarly, gave up their properties, estates, families, position and respect. Others again for the sake of the didar and out of love for the Imam of the time used to walk (long distances), making their feet sore. Others for the sake of the hereafter served their spiritual brothers at their assemblies. Good ones sat in the assemblies of the believers for the sake of making their faith perfect, occupying themselves with worship and acts of piety, or asking of their teachers questions concerning the true knowledge ('ilm-i haqiqi), and memorizing it. They used to learn it, sitting and listening to their teachers, and memorizing what they said, acting piously according to their instruction, being full of love for the religion of the truth (din-i haqq).
O, believers, be all in love with the pure religion of the Imam! Be ready to comprehend the meaning of (his) word and knowledge ('ilm), never neglecting your own progress and behaviour, because neglect of the truth is a calamity." (p.34) |
Part 2: Teaching of Pir Hasan Kabirdin
In the following verse from Moti Venti, Pir Hasan Kabirdin teaches us that the Great Name (Ism-i Azam) of the Lord is the key to overcome the tribulations on the road to the Eternal. The Pir also says that the Lord has innumerable names and each name has its own luminosity, power, blessing and mystery.
| Eji | sâmi ati dukh chhê saragni vatmâ(n) tê tamârâ nâmthi dukh duraj thâya satgur sâheb to ek chhê tê nâm bhêdthi orakhâya mahêr karo morâ sâ(n)hiyâ abarâ sharan tamâri |
|
| 0 Lord, | Innumerable are the tribulations on the road to the Eternal, which will vanish with Your (sacred) name (ism-e azam). You are the only True Guide, known by different names and mysteries. Have mercy on me, my Lord. I am helpless and dependent on you. |

Part 3: Dhikr Tasbi
We believe that through of Noor of Mowlana Hazar Imam, the Noor of Imamat, and through the Noor of Mowlana Murtaza Ali (a.s.), we will come close to He who is above all else.
Let us now recite the dhikr of Ya Ali, Tuhi Tu with humility, courage and conviction:
Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim
In the name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
Ya Ali, Tuhi tu: O Ali, Only You are You
Al-hamdu lillahi rabbil 'alamin.
Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the worlds!
Part 4. Angelic Salwat
Let us recite angelic salwats to invoke Divine grace and mercy.
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
or
Al-hamdu lillahi rabbil 'alamin.
Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the worlds!
Part 5. Ardent Global Prayers
O Noor Mowlana Hazar Imam: bless the global Jamat with spiritual and luminous tayid (help) to advance materially, spiritually and intellectually; and create sunshine in our hearts and bless all of us with the inner vision of the Truth.
