Ya Ali Madad. Let us first declare our noble intentions and then say the prayers. Ya NOOR Mowlana Hazir Imam, we pray for: The well being of the NOORANI Family Mushkil Asaan for the global Jamat Material, spiritual & intellectual upliftment of the global Jamat Salvation of all departed souls Peace for the whole humanity (Please add your personal list here, if you wish) Let us refer to ta'wil of the word 'Ism a'zam (Supreme Name of God): "Imam Jafar as-Sâdiq has said: "Allah has concealed one name, i.e., the supreme Name and He has 360 names." (Lughât, Sin, p. 175). The supreme Name or the great secret is in two forms: as a word and as a person. As a word, it is "al-hayy'l-qayyûm" (the Everling, the Everlasting) (2:255); 3:2) and as a person it is the True Guide, i.e., the Prophet and Imam of the time (See Wajh, p. 124-29." [Source: Tawil 64: A Thousand Wisdoms] 'Allahu laaa 'ilaaha 'illaa Huu 'Al-Hayyul-Qayyuum (Allah! There is no God save Him, the Alive, the Eternal) is the first sentence of Ayatul Kursi, the most important ayat of the Holy Qur'an 2:255). From Ismaili point of view, we say that the beloved NOOR Mowlana Hazir Imam is living and his Noor is eternal. Therefore, today we will implore him with this most powerful prayer. Now let us use a bouquet of Yâ Hayyul, Yâ Qayyum and Pir-Shâh Tasbis for today's session. A'uzu billahi minashaitanir rajim I seek refuge in Allah from the outcast Satan.

Pir refers to the Light of the Holy Prophet and Shah refers to the Light of Hazrat Ali. At present, NOOR Mowlana Hazir Imam holds the rank of Shah and Pir.
