Ya Ali Madad. This posting has a section of fundamental knowledge and two zikr tasbis. Minimally, please go through the fundamental knowledge section on a regular basis. Whenever the your heart desires and the time permits, please follow through with the two zikr tasbis. Knowledge Section: In the verse (3:96), God says: "Verily, the first house set up for mankind is at Bakkah (Makkah), blessed and a guidance for the entire people of the world." In this blessed verse, there are many wisdom-filled allusions. One of them is that 'first' is the foundation of ordinals (numbers) and it necessitates that it be followed by the second, third, fourth, fifth, etc. This implies that although the first and the central religious house is in Makkah, there will be many secondary and local religious houses (Jama'at-khanahs) in the time of Prophethood and the cycle of Imamat. The second allusion is that just as the first religious house was set up in Makkah, the first (holy) Imam (Mawla Ali (a.s.) was also appointed in Makkah. He is the spiritual and luminous house for people and in which, there are blessings and guidance for those who (actually) become personal worlds (i.e., become spiritually advanced and knowlegable souls)." (Source: Fruit of Paradise, pages 121-122) Zikr Tasbi Section: The 18th Divine name is 'Al-Fattâh' which means 'The Supreme Solver'. This attribute means He who opens the solution to all problems, and eliminates obstacles, and leads to victory in righteous matters if one seeks His Help and assistance. NOOR Mowlana Hazir Imam is the Supreme Solver for his believers. Therefore, let us recite Yâ Fattâh tasbi for success in this world and the next. Yâ Fattâh, Yâ Fattâh, Yâ Fattâh, Yâ Fattâh (4) (O NOOR Mowlana Hazir Imam, grant us good in this world, as well as good in the world hereafter, and protect us from the torment of the (hell) fire with Thy kindness, O Benevolent of the benevolents.)
