External and Internal Signs Of God
The following ayat of the Holy Qur'an teaches us that God shows His signs externally in the universe and internally in the soul:
|
"Soon will We show them our Signs in the (furthest) regions (of the earth), and in their own souls, until it becomes manifest to them that this is the Truth. Is it not enough that thy Lord doth witness all things? " (Yusufali, 041.053)
|
This implies that barakat of the Holy Didar is experienced at physical (zaheri), spiritual (ruhani) and luminous (noorani) levels. Therefore, it is important to discover the treasures that are hidden in the soul from the barakat of the Holy Didar. In order to do this, we have to do a lot of dhikr so that the inner voice gets a chance to express itself. Therefore, we are undertaking a 40-day didar gratitude prayer card project to soften our souls and hear their expressions.
Didar Gratitude Prayer Cards
It is very easy to lose the momentum of the Holy Didar after the Holy Imam's departure from one's country. However, it is important to offer utmost gratitude for the Holy Imam's visit to any country of the world. Therefore, we are undertaking a 40-day project to thank the Holy Imam with our hearts and souls, prepare for the Golden Jubilee Didars across the world, and also extend our prayers of well wishing to the Noorani family, the global Ismaili Muslim community, the Muslim Ummah, humanity at large, for all departed souls and for the salvation of all the souls in the Universe. The second objective of this project is to encourage a large number of people to call on God to extend peace on Earth and for the salvation of countless millions of souls. I have taken an Ismaili Muslim viewpoint in developing these prayer cards and am solely responsible for this project. Participation is voluntary.
The 40-day Period
The motivation for this 40-day project is the following hadith of the Holy Prophet: "Whoever worships God sincerely for 40 days, God opens his heart, expands his chest and loosens his tongue to speak with wisdom even though he may be very weak in speaking and understanding." (Ahadith-i Mathnawi, p. 196). The current project will start on Monday, June 20, 2005 and end on Friday, August 12, 2005. There will be five postings per week for a period of 8 weeks.
Satisfaction of Heart
"The single remedy for every kind of false fear, every kind of perplexity, inferiority complex, worldly greed, embarrassment, torment of bad or disturbing thoughts, sadness, restlessness, disappointment, unwanted anger, indignity, slip of tongue, lack of courage, malice, pride, vanity, ignorance, negligence, laziness, meanness, uneasiness, oblivion, obtuseness, mental confusion and other such ethical and spiritual diseases, is the satisfaction of heart which is attained from the blessings of Divine remembrance as is said in verse (13:28): "Verily in the remembrance of God do the hearts find satisfaction (gradually)." It should be remembered that, from the remembrance of God, the hearts find satisfaction gradually. Since the hearts are in different ranks, therefore, from the beginning to the end, the satisfaction depends on the knowledge and good deeds of each individual." [Source: Spiritual Healing, p. 11]
