Personal Search :: Curriculum for the Path of Spiritual Enlightenment
|
Ya Ali Madad. I personally believe that a person who practises his/her faith with conviction, acquires knowledge though formal or continuing education, and is blessed with inspired knowledge (ilm-u laduni) will achieve salvation, enlightenment and eternal existence. It is extremely important to be well grounded in knowledge because path towards enlightenment requires knowledge and practice.
Some people have asked me how to navigate the SalmanSpiritual.com web site? I have taken time to review the resources and organize them sequentially in order to provide the reader with a curriculum.
May NOOR Mowlana Hazir Imam bless you with ilm-u laduni and a 'golden' didar in your personal search. Ameen.
- Inspiration from the Vision of NOOR Mowlana Sultan Muhamad Shah (a.s.)
I have developed the resources on this website with the hope of actualizing the major concept of enlightenment described in the following excerpt from the Platinum Jubilee Message of Imam NOOR Mowlana Shah Sultan Muhammad Shah (a.s.):
|
"In these 70 years of my Imamat, man's material condition has totally changed. There has been immense increase in power over nature but, as we see, with strifes everywhere spiritual power has not increased.
It is my hope that my Spiritual Children, the Ismailis, will, by the example of their own higher enlightenment and helpful cooperative movements amongst themselves, set to the world an example of better fraternity and brotherhood which alone can free men from the fear and dangers of moral and mental discord which leads to disaster for all."

Let us hope, pray and act upon this guidance and be blessed with the 'golden' didar of NOOR Mowlana Shah Karim Al-Hussani (a.s.) before the 50th year of his glorious Imamat. Ameen.

- Orientation of the Site and Documentation of Resources Used
This site focuses on the Alid tradition of a thinking and spiritual Islam: an Islam which leads to the development of the human soul to its highest level as described His Highness Aga Khan III:
|
"Islamic doctrine goes farther than the other great religions for it proclaims the presence of the soul, perhaps minute but nevertheless existing in an embryonic state in all existence in matter, in animals, trees, and space itself. Every individual, every molecule, every atom has its own spiritual relationship with the All-Powerful Soul of God. But men and women, being more highly developed, are immensely more advanced than the infinite number of other beings known to us. Islam acknowledges the existence of angels, of great souls who have developed themselves to the highest possible planes of human soul and higher, and who are centres of forces which are scattered throughout the universe. Without going as far as Christianity, Islam recognizes the existence of evil spirits which seek by means of their secret suggestions to turn us from good, from that strait way traced by God's finger for the eternal happiness of the humblest as of the greatest -- Abraham, Jesus, Mohammed." (Source: Memoirs of Aga Khan, page 177)
