Ya Ali Madad! The conceptual framework for the project is given on the index page. This is the last posting for this 40-day Idd-e-Gaddir gratitude project. Al-hamdullilah, we have paid respect and demonstrated gratitude to the great event of Idd-e-Gaddir, the first Imamat Day of NOOR Mowlana Murtaza Ali (alayhi salaam). Today the Light of Mowlana Ali (a.s.) is present in NOOR Mowlana Shah Karim Al-Hussaini Hazir Imam (a.s.), therefore let us demonstrate our utmost gratitude for this reality, Al-hamdullilah. Let us also take time to absorb the contents of this final posting of this project. It is incumbent upon us to carry the Light of Imamat in our hearts and reach the stage of a sound, illumined heart (Qalb-i Salim). Rakh Mowla te (In Mowla, we trust)!
This posting has six
parts:
1. A wisdom of gratitude in the knowledge section;
2. A verse of Kalame Mowla with literal translation in the ginan section;
3. A dhikr tasbi which will be changed every 5 days;
4. The shahada to reaffirm our baiyat to NOOR Mowlana Hazir Imam;
5. The angelic salwat dhikr as a nazrana of our unconditional love and devotion; and
6. A prayer for a Golden Noorani Didar for the global Jamat.

Wisdom 40:
"Every mu'min knows what the real bounty of Islam is and is also grateful for it. Thus let us pray that the Lord of the worlds grant us courage and success to recognize the bounties of religion! Amin, O the Lord of the worlds!" [Source: 40 Wisdoms of Gratitude]

Kalame Mowla Verse:
In verse 171 of Kalâmê Mowlâ, NOOR Mowlana Murtazâ Ali (a.s.) explains that luminous prayer (bandagi) (with a luminous word at a luminous time) leads to spiritual elevation. This is the mechanism which the lover of Soul (Ruh) and Light (Noor) uses to meet the Beloved. The transliteration and translation of the verse is as follows:
Rean martabâ bohot badâ hey,
sab khalkat pâwê ârâm,
Pir payegambar walee Oleeâ,
rât bandagisê sab pâa nâm,
The status of night is great (because it contains a luminous hour).
The entire creation attains rest during the night.
Pirs, Prophets, Friends and Saints,
attained a lofty status through luminous prayers (bandagi).
Merâj rasul bhee râtmê (n) pâyâ,
âshak wasal pâwê mâshuk,
Jo tu(n) sâcha âshak hey,
to rean bandagisê mat chuk .....171
The Messenger also attained Merâj (ascension) at night
and the lover attains union with the Beloved (through luminous prayer).
If you are a true lover (of Soul and Light),
then do not miss the night's luminous prayer (bandagi).
It is important to first recognize the position of the Holy Imam from a perspective of Light (Luminosity). This is defined as follows:
Ta'wil of word 'Abad' (Timelessness, haziratu'l-qudus):
"The sacred Sanctuary, i.e. the greatest treasure of secrets is in the light of the forehead of the manifest Imam, where God has gathered together all things related to intellect, knowledge, recognition and spirituality. The same sacred light also rises in the forehead of the perfect arif (a person who can see higher realities) for the sake of recognition. Thus, azal (pre-eternity), abad (post-eternity) and other realities are gathered together and centered in the enclosure of the light of the forehead." [Source: Tawil 13: A Thousand Wisdoms]
Please note the tight connection between the luminous (Noorani) personality of the manifest Imam, the luminous word, the luminous time and the luminous prayer. The murid has to first know the position of the manifest Imam, link the luminous word to the luminous personality of the manifest Imam, and then follow the path lit by the manifest Imam by practising luminous prayers in the small watches of the night, i.e., in the early hours before sunrise.

Dhikr Section:
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 now recite the Yâ Hayyul-Qayyum, Yâ Aliyul Azim,
Yâ Sahebuz-Zaman, Yâ Hazar Imam Tasbi. You are welcome to download the Yâ Hayyul-Qayyum, Yâ Aliyul Azim, Yâ Sahebuz-Zaman, Yâ Hazar Imam

Reaffirmation of Baiyat:
Let us also reaffirm our baiyat to our Holy Imam, NOOR Mowlana Shah Karim Al-Hussaini Hazir 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 Hazirul 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 living Imam"
