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

Many times our wishes do not come true. Instead of becoming disappointed, it is better to do have a good intention, perform a good deed, and also surrender to the Divine Will as described in the following ayat of the Holy Qur'an:

"Nay, but whosoever surrendereth his purpose to Allah while doing good, his reward is with his Lord; and there shall no fear come upon them neither shall they grieve."

(Holy Qur'an (Pickthall) 002.112)

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

In the following saying, NOOR Mowlana Murtaza Ali (a.s.) has defined desirable traits which have to be cultivated within each one of us:

"Surrender and acceptance to the will of God are best companions; wisdom is the noblest heritage; theoretical and practical knowledge are best marks of distinction; deep thinking will present the clearest picture of every problem."

(Nahjul Balagha: Sermons, letters and saying of Hazrat Ali (Second American edition, 1981), Sayings of Hazrat Ali 4, p. 273)

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.
