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

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

A gem of knowledge from Pir Pandiyat-i Jawanmardi, or "Advices of Manliness" of Imam NOOR Mowlana Shah Mustansir bi'l-laah II;
A verse from the beautiful ginan of Pir Shams (r.a.);
Luminous dhikr of Noore Karim Hazar Imam;
Angelic salwat which is the anchor tasbi for the project; and
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 the recognition of the Light of the Imam:

"The real man is one who is hospitable. This does not mean that he will be like a lion at another's table, or like a fox. His face is always friendly. He has a true love for and perfect faith in the Imam of his time. He tries to attain that lasting wealth, the recognition of the Imam of the time. He is benevolent and well-behaved, as one should be, being kind and friendly to the friends and devotees ('ashiqan) of that Lord (Mawla)." (pp.10-11)

Part 2: Teaching of Pir Shams (r.a.)
In the following verse of ginan from Pir Shams's Kesri si(n)h svaroop bhulaayo teach us that 'Ali is now and Ali is forever':

Verse 1 recited by Shafiq Rawji

Eji	Kesri si(n)h svaroop bhulaayo Aja kere sange aja hoi rahyo Ese bharam-me(n) jivanku(n) bhulaayo Bharam sab chhodi bhai Ali Ali karna Hay bi Ali ne hoyse bi Ali Esa vachan tame dil maa(n)he dharna Esa vachan tame dil maa(n)he dharna Bharam sab chhodi bhai Ali Ali karna
O Brother	The lion forgot its lionish form, and in the company of goats it lived as a goat. In such delusion life's purpose is forgotten. Forsaking all delusion, brother, keep reciting the name of Ali. 'Ali is now and Ali will be' are the words you should take to heart. Such are the words you should take to heart. Forsaking all delusion, brother, keep reciting the name of Ali.	1
