Thursday, Apr. 24, 2025

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 sixth night of Holy Ramadan has five parts:

  1. Gems of knowledge from Pir Pandiyat-i Jawanmardi, or "Advices of Manliness" of Imam NOOR Mowlana Shah Mustansir bi'l-laah II (a.s.);
  2. A verse of ginan composed from a ginan composed by Pir Hasan Kabirdin (r.a.);
  3. Noore Karim luminous dhikr;
  4. Angelic salwat which is the anchor tasbi for the project; and
  5. Ardent Global Prayers

 

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 purify one's soul and recognize the Holy Imam of the time:

"The true believer is one who has no malice in his heart, which is pure. Whoever wants to attain my didar in this world and the hereafter, must keep himself away from every defect, opposition and evil act. And according to how far he achieves purification of his heart and is able to see his Creator in this world, so he will also see Him in the hereafter. It is obligatory and necessary for the true believer to recognize his Creator who is manifest in this world in the form of a human being, and to see Him here in order to see Him also in the hereafter." (pp.62-63)

 

Part 2: Teaching of Pir Hasan Kabirdin
In the following verse from the Ginan, Kaachi chhe kaaya man haido chhe parmal, Pir Hasan Kabirdin implores us to purify the soul just as gold is refined by heat. It takes a great and consistent effort to develop fragrance and light in the soul:

Verse 8 recited by Alwaez Rai Mehdi Valji

Eji Kasotiye jem sovan kasiye
Tem kaaya-nu(n) hans kasaavo ho jirebhai		  
  In the manner in which gold is purified by going through
the process of refinement in the presence of heat, exude (or bring out)
the fragrant soul nature of your bodies through physical mortifications
(i.e., practice of the faith), O living brothers!		 8
