Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim
In the name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful.

Ya Ali Madad. This transformational post consists of three parts:

Verse(s) from the Holy Qu'ran;
Timeless Ilm Gem(s) of Noor Mowlana Murtaza Ali (a.s.); and
Angelic salwat which is the anchor tasbi for the project.

Part 1: Teachings from the Holy Qu'ran

Let us read the following verses from the Holy Quran:

"If ye avoid the great (things) which ye are forbidden, We will remit from you your evil deeds and make you enter at a noble gate."

(Holy Qur'an (Pickthall) 4:31)

"But verily thy Lord is full of grace to mankind: Yet most of them are ungrateful."

(Holy Qur'an (Yusufali) 27:73)

Part 2: Timeless Ilm Gem of Noor Mowlana Murtaza Ali (a.s.)

In the following saying, NOOR Mowlana Murtaza Ali (a.s.) has defined three classes of people with respect to their obedience:

"There are people who obey God to gain His Favours, they act like businessmen trading with God; while there are some who obey Him to keep themselves free from His Wrath (Anger), they act as slaves; but there are few who obey Him out of their sense of gratitude and obligation, they act as gentlemen and noblemen."

(Nahjul Balagha: Sermons, letters and saying of Hazrat Ali (Second American edition, 1981), Sayings of Hazrat Ali 208, p. 294)

Let us read, reflect and implement these gems of knowledge for our spiritual journey towards our original home, Daras-Salaam. the Abode of Eternal Peace. Noore Karim Mushkil Khusha, Noore Karim Ya Ali Madad, Noore Karim Daras-Salaam!

Part 3: Angelic Salwat
Let us now start fueling our journey on the Ismaili esoteric path of higher spiritual enlightenment with Angelic salwats, dhikr and bandagi. May our beloved Noor Mowlana Hazar Imam continually keep us on the Right Path. Ameen.

Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim
In the name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful

Allâhumâ salli alâ Muhammadin wa âle Muhammad:
O Allah! Bestow Peace on and through Muhammad and his Descendants
