Twenty Fourth Night of Holy Ramadan :: Monday, October 16, 2006

Ya Ali Madad and Ramadan Mubarak! The 24-hour clock the Muslim calendar starts sunset, therefore, Monday, October 16, 2006 is the twenty fourth night of the Holy Ramadan for Ismailis in Canada. This posting for this auspicious twenty fourth night of Holy Ramadan has four parts:   1. Ta'wil of selected words from the Holy Qur'an; 2. A verse from beautiful ginans of our Holy Pirs; 3. A different dhikr tasbi; and 4. A list of pertinent web resources for this project.   Part 1: Tawil of the word 'Ajal' (Haste, speed, hurry) "It is mentioned in verse (21:37): "Man is created out of haste. Soon I shall show you My signs, so do not ask me to hasten."   The spiritual light and progress of a salik are initially created from the speed of rapid dhikr and stenuous discipline, but when the minor resurrection and its signs (miracles) start to manifest, then many means and causes speak and work automatically." [Source: Tawil 566: A Thousand Wisdoms] (Pages 303-304) Part 2: Teaching of Pir Hasan Kabirdin In the following verse from the Ginan,Sayyed Muhammadshah teaches us to love the Imam of time, NOOR Mowlana Hazir Imam: Eji Sahebji tu(n) more man bhaave Avar more chint na aave Duja more man na bhaave Sahebji tu(n) more man bhaave     O Lord (Master - Imam)! You are dear to my heart (mind), nothing else cometh to my mind except You. My heart does not desire anyone else, O Lord! You alone are my heart's desire.   Please follow this link (http://www.salmanspiritual.com/ramadan_ginans/ginan_24.html) to see the text and the literal translation of the other verses of this ginan. These verses of supplication soften, heal and purify the soul, and prepare it for enlightenment.   Part 3 Power Prayers: A Different Dhikr Tasbi for Each Night The following three aya of the Holy Qur'an (2:155-157) describe the cyclic nature of difficulty and relief from difficulty through the use of the tasbi " 'Innaa lillaahi wa- 'innaaa 'ilayhi raaji-'uunn (Lo! we are Allah's and lo! unto Him we are returning)": "And surely We shall try you with something of fear and hunger, and loss of wealth and lives and crops; but give glad tidings to the steadfast, Who say, when a misfortune striketh them: Lo! we are Allah's and lo! unto Him we are returning. Such are they on whom are blessings from their Lord, and mercy. Such are the rightly guided." For today's session, let us use a bouquet of 'Innaa lillaahi wa- 'innaaa 'ilayhi raaji-'uunn tasbi to overcome spiritual trials such fear, hunger, loss of wealth, lives and crops, and others which are bound to come into our lives. A'uzu billahi minashaitanir rajim I seek refuge in Allah from the outcast Satan. Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim In the name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful. 'Innaa lillaahi wa- 'innaaa 'ilayhi raaji-'uunn (1) (Lo! we are Allah's and lo! unto Him we are returning) 'Innaa lillaahi wa- 'innaaa 'ilayhi raaji-'uunn (2) (Lo! we are Allah's and lo! unto Him we are returning) 'Innaa lillaahi wa- 'innaaa 'ilayhi raaji-'uunn (3) (Lo! we are Allah's and lo! unto Him we are returning) 'Innaa lillaahi wa- 'innaaa 'ilayhi raaji-'uunn (4) (Lo! we are Allah's and lo! unto Him we are returning) 'Innaa lillaahi wa- 'innaaa 'ilayhi raaji-'uunn (5) (Lo! we are Allah's and lo! unto Him we are returning) 'Innaa lillaahi wa- 'innaaa 'ilayhi raaji-'uunn (6) (Lo! we are Allah's and lo! unto Him we are returning) 'Innaa lillaahi wa- 'innaaa 'ilayhi raaji-'uunn (7) (Lo! we are Allah's and lo! unto Him we are returning) 'Innaa lillaahi wa- 'innaaa 'ilayhi raaji-'uunn (8) (Lo! we are Allah's and lo! unto Him we are returning) 'Innaa lillaahi wa- 'innaaa 'ilayhi raaji-'uunn (9) (Lo! we are Allah's and lo! unto Him we are returning) 'Innaa lillaahi wa- 'innaaa 'ilayhi raaji-'uunn (10) (Lo! we are Allah's and lo! unto Him we are returning) Al-hamdu lillahi rabbil 'alamin.
