Salman Spiritual :: Towards the Inner Vision of the Truth :: An Ismaili Perspective

Objective:
Ya Ali Madad. We need to do at least ten different activities to prepare for higher spiritual enlightenment and the Holy Didar of our beloved Noor Mowlana Shah Karim Al-Hussaini Hazar Imam (a.s.). For this project, ten pages were created to develop background for each activity:

Gem No.   1 :: Holy Batuni-Noorani Didar and Iman (Faith)
Gem No.   2 :: Holy Batuni-Noorani Didar and Tauba (Sincere Repentance)
Gem No.   3 :: Holy Batuni-Noorani Didar and the Submission of Dasond (Tithe)
Gem No.   4 :: Holy Batuni-Noorani Didar and the Sacred Time to Recite the Three Duas
Gem No.   5 :: Holy Batuni-Noorani Didar and the Practice of Bandagi (Meditation)
Gem No.   6 :: Holy Batuni-Noorani Didar and the Practice of Giryah-u zâri (Shedding Torrential Tears of Love for the Holy Imam)
Gem No.   7 :: Holy Batuni-Noorani Didar and the Practice of Dhikr (Divine Remembrance)
Gem No.   8 :: Holy Batuni-Noorani Didar and Performing Voluntary Service for the Holy Imam, His Jamat and His Institutions
Gem No.   9 :: Holy Batuni-Noorani Didar and Being Imam Conscious & Ethical
Gem No. 10 :: Holy Batuni-Noorani Didar and the Recognition of the Light of the Holy Imam

Further reflection led to publication of four more articles:

Gem No. 11 :: Welcoming Noor Mowlana Hazar Imam to our Spiritual Houses
Gem No. 12 :: Who Will Be Present at the Golden and Diamond Jubilee Darbars?
Gem No. 13 :: Higher Spiritual Enlightenment Indicators
Gem No. 14 :: What is in the Spiritual Treasury of NOOR Mowlana Hazar Imam?

In many fields, indicators are used to assess the overall condition. For example, high body temperature is an indicator that something is wrong with the body. This triggers further investigation. Similarly, in Soil Science, we have soil quality indicators to assess the health of the soil. After writing the background pages for each spiritual activity, I developed a page for higher spiritual enlightment indicators. These can be used to assess our commitment to be on the Straight Path which could lead us to higher spiritual enlightenment.

1. Creating Staunch Faith in Noor Mowla Hazar Imam (a.s.)
2. Sincere Repentance
3. Submission of Dasond in Full and On Time
4. Reciting the Holy Dua at Sacred Times
5. Practising bandagi for higher spiritual enlightenment every morning
6. Shedding torrential tears of love for the Holy Imam (Giryah-u zâri)
7. Practising Dhikr in order to present spiritual and luminous nazranas
8. Performing voluntary service for the Holy Imam, his Jamat and his institutions
9. Being Imam conscious & ethical
10. Recognizing the Light of the Holy Imam

Global Prayer:
Ya Ali, Ya NOOR Mowlana Shah Karim Al-Hussaini Hazar Imam, grant us, our families, our Jamats, the worldwide Jamat, the Muslim Ummah, and humanity at large, luminous (noorani) and spiritual (ruhani) tayid (help) to advance materially, spiritually and intellectually.

O Noor Mowlana Hazar Imam bless us with many Holy Batuni-Noorani didars during the Diamond Jubilee year, and empower us to present Material, Spiritual and Luminous Nazranas. Ameen.

Peace, light, barakat, tayid and a 'golden noorani didar',
