Part 1: Teaching of al-Muayyyad fid-Din al-Shirazi

Here is an excerpt from Lecture 5, The Real Enjoyment in the World, from the book titled 'Life and Lectures of the Grand Missionary Al-Muayyad-Fid-Din Al-Shirazi' (p.75):

"...In the Holy Quran, God speaks of some living men as dead and of dead people lying in the graves as living beings. This indicates that our animal (physical) life on earth devoid of spiritualism is, in reality, 'death' and the apparently physical death of those who have lived a spiritual life on earth is, in reality, 'life'. God says "O Momins, respond to God and the Prophet when he invites you to something which will give you life." This throws an additional light on the above verse and makes it clear to us that what is meant in these verses by life is not the physical life on earth but a new form of life. This is certainly a spiritual life and not the animal life which depends upon eating and drinking."

Part 2: The Ismaili Shahada

In the second part of our Holy Dua, we recite the Ismaili Shahada as follows:

"La ilaha illallah, Muhammadur-Rasoolullah, 'Aliyyun Amirul-Mu'mineen 'Aliyullah
Mawlana Shah Rahim ul Hussaini, Al-Imamul Hazarul Maujood."

"There is no deity except Allah, Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, 'Ali - the master of believers - is from Allah. Our Lord Shah Rahim Al-Hussaini is our present and living Imam"

Let us first recite the Ismaili Shahada to feel the presence of Noor Mowlana Hazar Imam and then use this energy to recite the Angleic Salwat!

Part 3. Angelic Salwat
Let us recite angelic salwats to invoke Divine grace and mercy.

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
