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 twenty second 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 about the status and function of Pirs:
| "O, believers, on the day of the Resurrection, except for the perfect pir, all other pirs, mirs and brothers will stand trembling, not one being able to utter a word (of intercession). But your (real) pir, who helped you in this world, will also become your helper and protector in the hereafter. Therefore, do not give up following him, as you belong to that world and must enjoy it and rejoice there. Therefore, do not be bound in this world by rejoicing, enjoyment of power, position, rank or respect. With every day, you must keep on intensifying your love and service to one another, to your pir, and your Imam, never remaining dependent on this world which is transient and without real substance and worth." (p.27-28)
*At present, NOOR Mowlana Hazar Imam is the Imam (Shah), Pir and Murshid of the Shia Imami Ismaili Nizari Muslims. |
Part 2: Teaching of Pir Hasan Kabirdin
In the following verse from Moti Venti, Pir Hasan Kabirdin implores us to recognize NOOR Mowlana Hazar Imam, externally and internally:
| Eji | Pir Hasan Kabirdin nâri thainê vinvê shrivar sâminê vâragu(n) âj kaljug mâ(n)hê jo gur narnê orkho to kadi nahi thâshê argu(n) mahêr karo morâ sâ(n)hiyâ abarâ sharan tamâri |
|
| 0 Lord, | Pir Hasan Kabirdin pleads like a maiden to meet the Lord. In this era, if the believer recognizes the Imam of the time, he will never be separated from him. Have mercy on me, my Lord. I am helpless and dependent on you. |

Part 3: Dhikr Section:
The lights of Allah, the Holy Prophet Muhammad (s.a.s.), NOOR Mawlana Murtaza Ali (a.s.), all the Holy Imams, all the Holy Pirs, Noor Mowlana Hazar Imam who is the Ali of this time, the Holy Qur'an and Holy Ginans are just one Light. Similarly, the all-encompassing Light has innumerable names. We could call upon this Light by reciting the 'Ya Allah, Ya Ali, Ya Muhammad' tasbi. Another powerful option is to use the combination of 'Ya Ali' and 'Pir Shah'. We will use the latter combination for today's dhikr:
Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim
In the name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
Yā Ali, Pir Shāh
O Light of Eternal Ali, O Light of the Holy Pir
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.
