Diamond Jubilee Spark :: The Inner Meaning of Faqadis-Tamsaka (The Strongest Handle)
 
Enlightenment Post No. 1 :: Knowledge & Prayers for Monday

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

Ya Ali Madad! The Diamond Jubilee of Noor Mowlana Shah Karim Al-Hussaini Hazar Imam (a.s.) is only six months away, therefore let us participate in a 7-day project to increase our knowledge and enhance our yearning through Dhikr and Angelic Salwat.

Knowledge Section:
Let us reflect on the concept of strongest handle from the following ayat of the Holy Qu'ran:

Transliteration English Translation
Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim In the name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
Laaa 'ikraaha fid-Diin. Qatta-bayyanar-Rushdu minal-Gayy. Famany-yakfur bit-Taaguuti wa yu'-mim-billahi faqadis-tamsaka bil-'urwatil-wusqaa, lan-fisaa-ma lahaa. Wallahu Samii-'un 'Aliim. (2:256) No compulsion be in religion; Indeed truth has been made manifest from error; therefore he who disbelieveth the rebels (false deities) and believeth in God, hath indeed laid hold on the strongest handle no break is for it; and verily God is All-Hearing, All-Knowing.

Here is an excerpt from footnote 291 (p.230) of S. V. Mir Ahmed Ali's translation of the Holy Qu'ran, which explains the inner meaning of faqadis-tamsaka (The strongest handle):

'Faqadis Tamsaka'—The strong cord or rope or cable for which there is no breakage at all. According to Saafi, it is reported that the 6th Holy Imam Jafar as-Sadiq, that the handle, the rope or the cord means faith in God, and the 5th Holy Imam Muhammad al-Baqir has said that it is the love of or the attachment to the Holy Ahul-Bait for a lover of these godly ones, is always correctly attached to God and remains ever in genuine godliness. As the Holy Prophet has declared, let him (a faithful) hold himself fastly attached to Ali for with the attachment to Ali, none can get lost or detached from Ali, else none can be safe. Ali is the perfect model or the true ideal of faith in God, as the Divinely Commissioned Successor to the Holy Prophet, and the correct practice of the faith, is perfectly integrated in the personality of Ali and his issues who succeeded him as the Holy Imams. Hence 'Tawallah' i.e., the love and godliness is one of the articles of the practice (Furo-e-deen) of the faith, Islam Original (i.e., Shi'ism).

Dhikr Section:
For today's session, let us use a bouquet of Yâ Ali, Yâ Allâh, Yâ Muhammad, Yâ Muhammad, Yâ Ali tasbis to call on the Light of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (s.a.s.) and NOOR Mawlana Murtaza Ali (a.s.). At present, the Lights of Muhammad and Ali are manifested in NOOR Mowlana Shah Karim Al-Hussaini (a.s.) Hazar Imam (Please recite the Holy Salwat).

Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim

Al-hamdu lillahi rabbil 'alamin.
Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the worlds!

Reaffirmation of Baiyat:
Let us also reaffirm our baiyat to our Holy Imam, NOOR Mowlana Shah Karim Al-Hussaini Hazar Imam by reciting the Shahada from the second part of our Holy Dua:

"La ilaha illallah, Muhammadur-Rasoolullah, 'Aliyyun Amirul-Mu'mineen 'Aliyullah
Mowlana Shah Karim 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 Karim Al-Hussaini is our present and living Imam"

Angelic Salwat Nazrana:
Let us now start presenting a nazrana of at least 101 salwats or continuous salwat for 3 to 5 minutes to our beloved NOOR Mowlana Shah Karim Al-Hussaini Hazar Imam for the fulfillment of our noble wishes. May our beloved Mowla continually keep us on the Right Path. Ameen.
