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

The angels carrying the throne of God seek forgiveness for all souls who turn to the Lord in repentance as described in the following ayat of the Holy Qur'an.

"Those who sustain the Throne (of God) and those around it Sing Glory and Praise to their Lord; believe in Him; and implore Forgiveness for those who believe: "Our Lord! Thy Reach is over all things, in Mercy and Knowledge. Forgive, then, those who turn in Repentance, and follow Thy Path; and preserve them from the Penalty of the Blazing Fire!"

(Holy Qur'an (Yusufali) 40.007)

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

In the following saying, NOOR Mowlana Murtaza Ali (a.s.) has described how physical illness can be a mechanism for atoning for sins:

"One of the companions of Hazrath fell ill, Hazrath called upon him and thus advised him: "Be thankful to God. He has made this illness a thing to atone for your sins; because a disease in itself has nothing to bring reward to anyone; it merely expiates (compensates) one's sins; so far as reward is concerned one has to earn it with his good words and good deeds. The Almighty Lord grants Heavens to his creatures on account of their piety and sober thinking."

(Nahjul Balagha: Sermons, letters and saying of Hazrat Ali (Second American edition, 1981), Sayings of Hazrat Ali 42, p. 277)

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!
