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 16, Be In the World But Not of the World, from the book titled 'Life and Lectures of the Grand Missionary Al-Muayyad-Fid-Din Al-Shirazi' (p.112):
"The commander of the Faithful, Ali bin Abu Talib says, "There is no verse in the Qur'an about which I do no know, how it was revealed, when it was revealed and in what connection it was revealed. Before you lose me, consult me about what it is and what it will continue to be up to the Day of Judgement." While he was saying this he pointed to his chest thereby meaning that it was the storehouse of divine knowledge." |

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"

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