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

Ya Ali Madad! This post has three parts.

1. Knowledge Section;
2. The Ismaili Shahada; and
3. Angelic Salwat Dhikr.

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

Here is an excerpt from Lecture 19, He Who Knows Himself Knows God, from the book titled 'Life and Lectures of the Grand Missionary Al-Muayyad-Fid-Din Al-Shirazi' (pp.126-127):

"O Momins, may God make you men of insight and confer upon you the last of His favours, the forgiveness of your sins. Praise be to God who is hidden from the knowledge of men and who is above imagination. Greetings be on His apostle, the best of mankind, Mohammed who dispelled the darkness by the light of Islam and who invited people to the abode of safety. Be the greetings on Ali, his 'wasee' the Lion of God, the Solver of our difficulties and the dispeller of our grief, Ali bin Abi-Talib, the master of Philosophy and may the greetings be on the Imams from his choice progeny forever. God is enough for us. He is the best pleader of our Cause."

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
