Part 2: An excerpt from 'A Code of Conduct—A Treatise of the Etiquette of the Fatimid Ismaili Mission'
In 'al-Risāla al-mūjaza al-kāfiya fī of Ahmad b.Ibrāhīm al-Naysbūrī has written the following gem:

"[§40] a dâ'î should be humble, not haughty with the believers. God has said: 'That afterlife We grant to those who seek no high-handedness on this earth nor corruption; the good end is for those who fear God.'57 Ja'far b. Muhammad al-Sâdiq said as well: 'Do not become scholars who are so tyrannical as to pass your falsehoods as truths of yours'; and the Prophet said: 'Grandeur is a cloak of God Who is great and majestic; he who attempts to wrest His cloak from Him, God breaks into little pieces.'"

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:
