Twenty Eighth Night of Holy Ramadan :: Friday, October 20, 2006

Ya Ali Madad and Ramadan Mubarak! The 24-hour clock the Muslim calendar starts sunset, therefore, Friday, October 20, 2006 is the twenty eighth night of the Holy Ramadan for Ismailis in Canada. This posting for this auspicious twenty eighth 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 'Arshuhu' (His Throne) "Only the great bounties are mentioned in the chapter of Rahmaan (55). One of them is that there is a unique ark (55:24) in the ocean of every personal world, which is also the Divine Throne on water (11:7) and the laden ark (36:41). The embarkees of which become annihilated in the "Face of God" (55:26-27). It should be noted that by the Face of God is meant the holy Imam. Imam as-Sadiq says: "We (the Imams) are the Face of God." (Al-Mizan, XIX, 103)." [Source: Tawil 571: A Thousand Wisdoms] (Page 306) Part 2: Teaching of Pir Shams In the following two verses from the Garbi, Tame japjo din raat ke, Pir Shams says that if you remember the Lord day and night, your personal world will be illuminated and when you see the Holy Light in your forehead, you will enjoy immortality. It is also clear from this and other verses of Holy Ginans, and teachings of the Holy Imams that the concepts of eternal kingdom (avichal raaj), eternal existence (baqa), amar jaat (eternal kind) are all related to the enlightenment of the personal world. Tame japjo din raat ke, mandir maa(n)he mahaaljo re lol   Remember (the name of the Lord) day and night, and create happiness in your personal world (sanctuary) 1 Jaa(n)ki surti laagi bharmand ke, amar reljo re lol   When the concentration is focussed at the middle of the eye brows, you will enjoy immortality. 2 Please follow this link (http://www.salmanspiritual.com/ramadan_ginans/ginan_28.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   Let us reflect on the 93rd and the 94th beautiful Divine Name: 093 An-Nur The Prime Light He who provides the Divine light to the entire universe; to the faces, minds and hearts of His devotees. Yâ Nur 094 Al-Haadi The Provider of Guidance He is the one who guides and leads to success and directs His devotee to do things beneficial to himself and others. Yâ Hâdi "It is said in a Hadith: "O Ali you are to me as Harun was to Musa, except that after me there will be no Prophet." This is an unanimously accepted Hadith (Bukhari, V, Delhi, 47: Cairo, V, 24)" [Source: Tawil No. 941, A Thousand Wisdoms] "It is said in a Hadith: "The word wazir is derived from wizr, meaning burden and hence wazir mean the one who carries the burden. This means that just as Hazrat Harun was carrying the burden of spirituality and luminosity (i.e. ta'wil) of the Torah, Mawla Ali was carrying the burden of spirit and spirituality and light and luminosity (i.e. ta'wil) of the Qur'an and still does so in the form of the present attire (jamah-yi hazir) of Imamat, i.e. the present Imam" [Source: Tawil No. 943, A Thousand Wisdoms] Therefore, for tonight's session, let us use a bouquet of Yâ Nur, Yâ Hâdi tasbi to invoke our beloved Mowla for the continual guidance through his NOOR (Light). 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.
