Didar Posting No. 51: Become Spiritually Alive
Date: June 5, 2005

Ya Ali Madad and Didar Mubarak! 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 (pages 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 te 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 that what is meant in these verses and makes it clear to us that what is meant is in these verses by life is 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." May you be blessed with the physical, spiritual (ruhani) and luminous (noorani) Didar of our Holy NOOR Mowlana Hazir Imam (please recite the Holy Salwat). Peace, light, barakat, taid and didar, Noorallah

Didar Posting No. 52: Let Your Destiny Be Moulded by the Holy Imam
Date: June 5, 2005

Ya Ali Madad and Didar Mubarak! Lecture 6, No Animal Life Beyond Death, from the book titled Life and Lectures of the Grand Missionary Al-Muayyad-Fid-Din Al-Shirazi (pages 80): "...One of the Imams was asked as to what is 'saadat', the happiness, and what is 'shaqawat', the misfortune. He said, " Man by nature is like a blank white paper fit for writing. Happy is the one who falls in the hands of one who writes correct things on this paper. Unhappy is the one who turns away from the right person and falls in the hands who writes wrong things on this paper and blackens it. The paper loses its original whiteness and gains nothing from wrong writing." Another Imam has said something in this connection which is very much similar to this. He says, "He who does not complete his prayers is like a pregnant woman who before the time of delivery miscarries. She neither retains her pregnancy nor she gets a child. May God make you one of the 'saaeeds'. May he give you an opportunity to meet the Imams who are the moulders of the destinies of man." May you be blessed with the physical, spiritual (ruhani) and luminous (noorani) Didar of our Holy NOOR Mowlana Hazir Imam (please recite the Holy Salwat). Peace, light, barakat, taid and didar, Noorallah

Didar Posting No. 53: Practise Bandagi (Luminous Prayer at a Luminous Time with a Luminous Word) to become a Satisfied Soul
Date: June 5, 2005

Ya Ali Madad and Didar Mubarak! Lecture 8, The Meaning of Six Days in Which God Created the Heavens and Earth, from the book titled Life and Lectures of the Grand Missionary Al-Muayyad-Fid-Din Al-Shirazi (pages 87-88): "...The soul which belongs to the higher regions by acquiring the powers of flight, will fly back to its original abode and the body which by nature belongs to the lower region will go back to its low level. The only way in which this power to soar upward can be acquired is to learn the particular names of God through the Imams who prescribe different names of 'naqsh' for different individuals, according to the peculiar 'naqsh' of their souls. Through them and them alone the human soul is being prepared to reach the stage about which God says, "O peaceful soul come back to your Lord satisfied. Join my devotees and enter my 'jannat'." May you be blessed with the physical, spiritual (ruhani) and luminous (noorani) Didar of our Holy NOOR Mowlana Hazir Imam (please recite the Holy Salwat).

Didar Posting No. 54: The Holy Imam Provides Nutrition for Our Souls
Date: June 5, 2005

Ya Ali Madad and Didar Mubarak! Lecture 8, The Meaning of Six Days in Which God Created the Heavens and Earth, from the book titled Life and Lectures of the Grand Missionary Al-Muayyad-Fid-Din Al-Shirazi (pages 90): "In some of our 'majlis' I have pointed out to you that from a physical point of view heavens surround human beings but from the point of view of spiritual development through knowledge, human beings surround these bodies. In short, just as our souls surround the heavens, the souls of the Imams surround our souls and are the heavens of heavens on whom alone we look for the nutrition for our spirits. May God make you profit from their philosophy and may He give you the moral strength to thank them for this." May you be blessed with the physical, spiritual (ruhani) and luminous (noorani) Didar of our Holy NOOR Mowlana Hazir Imam (please recite the Holy Salwat).

Didar Posting No. 55: The Love of the Holy Imams is a Duty Imposed by God
Date: June 5, 2005

Ya Ali Madad and Didar Mubarak! Lecture 10, The Love of the Imams is a Duty Imposed by God, from the book titled Life and Lectures of the Grand Missionary Al-Muayyad-Fid-Din Al-Shirazi (pages 94): "The 'Shia' learned divines maintain that God has enjoined on the followers of the Prophet to give him a return for lamp-posts of guidance which he has erected for them. The Holy Quran says, "Say,i do not ask you for a return except the love for the relatives. They say that once a group of people came to the Prophet saying, "O Prophet of God, you came to us at a time when we had lost the way. God guided is through you. We were poor, God made us rich through you. Our wealth is at your disposal. Take from it whatever you like." "It was on this occasion,: say the learned divines from amongst the 'Shias' "that the above verse relating to the love of the relations was revealed." The Quranic expression, 'the love for the relations' according to them means 'the love of Ali, Fatima, Hasan, Husain and their descendants.' " This is the reason why we recite salwat during didar. May you be blessed with the physical, spiritual (ruhani) and luminous (noorani) Didar of our Holy NOOR Mowlana Hazir Imam (please recite the Holy Salwat). Peace, light, barakat, taid and didar, Noorallah

Didar Posting No. 56: The Wilayat of Ali
Date: June 5, 2005

Ya Ali Madad and Didar Mubarak! Lecture 12, The Wilayat of Ali, from the book titled Life and Lectures of the Grand Missionary Al-Muayyad-Fid-Din Al-Shirazi (pages 101): "It must be bourne in mind that after the death of the Prophet the belief in the walayat of the Imam from his progeny is as important a part of our religion as the belief in the wilayat of the Prophet in his life time. This is supported by the Tradition according to which the Prophet is reported to have said at 'Ghadeer Khum', "Am I not more precious to you than your own selves?" This is an echo of the Quranic verse which says, "The Prophet is more dear to the 'Momins' than their own selves to them. It is said, than in response to this question of the Prophet, when the 'Momins' said "Yes, you are dearer to us than our own selves", the Prophet said, "O God, be witness to their admission". After this he said, "Ali is master of one who acknowledges me as his master. O God love those who love Ali. Help those who help Ali. Desert those who desert Ali. Let the truth accompany Ali wherever he goes." " May you be blessed with the physical, spiritual (ruhani) and luminous (noorani) Didar of our Holy NOOR Mowlana Hazir Imam (please recite the Holy Salwat). Peace, light, barakat, taid and didar, Noorallah

Lecture 13, True Faith in the Unity of God Cannot be Achieved With the Guidance of the Imams, from the book titled Life and Lectures of the Grand Missionary Al-Muayyad-Fid-Din Al-Shirazi (pages 105): "The Prophet has given us the outlines of the subjects which are dealt with in the Quran, For details we have to go to the Imams who are the masters of the subject. Had the Book been enough for us to teach us everything and solve all difficulties independently of those divine agents who are the masters of this Book of God it would have not been necessary for God to tell us, "If they has referred the matter to the Prophet and to the spiritual heads from amongst them, they, who are men of depths, would have explained it to them." The 'men of depths' referred to in the above verse are the Imams from the progeny of the prophet who possess the most profound knowledge of the Book of God and the Tradition of the prophet."

Ya Ali Madad and Didar Mubarak! Lecture 2, The Real Names of God, from the book titled Life and Lectures of the Grand Missionary Al-Muayyad-Fid-Din Al-Shirazi (pages 59-60): "Just as the arteries of the human body depend for the supply of blood to the heart, in the same way, in spiritual matters also we depend for guidance on the Imam of the time who is the heart of the 'shariat'. The Holy Quran says, "We shall show you our signs in the world and among yourselves in order that the truth may become clear to you." In short, just as our physical existence depends upon our hearts, our spiritual elevation depends upon the Imams. The Holy Quran says, "There will come the day when we shall call every generation to appear before us with their Imams"!"

The one is the book of God and second is my 'ahle-bait. If you stick to them you will never be lost." He added to this by saying: "They will never part with each other until they return to me at the 'hauz-kahusar' ". He meant to say that the book of god and the 'ahle-bait' are inseparable. The one cannot exist without the other." May you be blessed with the physical, spiritual (ruhani) and luminous (noorani) Didar of our Holy NOOR Mowlana Hazir Imam (please recite the Holy Salwat).

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."
