In this Higher Spiritual Enlightenment post, I am presenting two verses from Pir Hasan Kabirdin's Anant Akhado and pertinent knowledge from Pir Pandiyat-i Jawanmardi, the teachings of Imam NOOR Mowlana Shah Mustansir bi'l-laah II (a.s.). The two ginan verses will recited just before the start of the first Dua on Salgirah Khushali Day, December 13, 2017 in our Jamat Khana.

1. How to Prepare for Mahaadan (Day of Judgement)?

In his mulaqats with the Eastern Canadian Jamats, Noor Mowlana Hazar Imam gave mahaadan chanta, i.e., the chanta to ease the burden of trials and tribulations on the Day of Judgement. Our Holy Pir Hasan Kabirdin has given us practical guidance on how to prepare for mahaadan in verse 82 of Anant Akhado:

Âshâji	dio daso(n)d nê Alynê sêvo to man kariyo vadhâiyu(n)ji to mahaadan tamnê doyalo na lâgê bêso shahpirnê pâs Hari ana(n)t ...................................	82
Oh Lord	Observe the tithe and worship (serve) your Imam through which your mind will become magnanimous. Then, on the Day of reckoning (mahaadan), you will not feel the burden of trials and tribulations (because you will be shielded) as you will be sitting in the presence of the Lord Hari You are eternal; ........................	82

Further clarification on submission of dasond (mal-i wajibat) and didar can be found in Pir Pandiyat-i Jawanmardi, the teachings of Imam NOOR Mowlana Shah Mustansir bi'l-laah II (a.s.):

"The tithe has been established by the King of Men Murtada 'Ali. He commanded the adepts of the Truth (haqiqatiyyan) saying that every one who is the follower of the Truth (ahi-i haqiqat), and has the desire of his didar, must pay the tithe from his income. By this he may secure the chance of the didar. The followers of the Shariat do not know and realize the implications (or symbolism, ramz) of this commandment. Thus, every one who has connection with the Imam of the time must always pay his (religious) duty, i.e., the tithe, which is due to the Imam of the time, delivering it, and being ready to sacrifice at his command his own life and (the whole of) his property." (p.55)

"On the Day of Resurrection (Qiyamat) the accounts of those who are the first and those who are the last will be left in the hands of our Lord (Mawla-na) — 'Ali, — may a remedy be attained on his mention! He will question the slaves of God and interrogate them. He will show kindness to the chosen ones who have been devout, but the rebellious hypocrites will remain in the middle of the plain of Resurrection in the glare and heat, in distress, humiliated and ashamed, groaning and weeping on the way, each being worried about himself. But every one who has been obedient to the pir will stand on that terrible day in the shadow (i.e. under the protection) of the pir of his time." (pp.26-27)

2. What are the Connections Between Dasond, Siratal Mustaqeem and Didar?

In his mulaqats with the Eastern Canadian Jamats, Noor Mowlana Hazar Imam gave a clear firman to stay on Siratal Mustaqeem (The Right Path). Our Holy Pir Hasan Kabirdin has given us practical guidance on the connections between Dasond, Siratal Mustaqeem and Didar in verse 357 of Anant Akhado:

Âshâji	daso(n)d dêvê nê sidakê rahêvê ehi moman sâchâji âdo mârag têonê nâ(n)hi nê bhetyâ shâhnâ didâr Hari ana(n)t ...................................	357
Oh Lord	A person who submits the tithe and remains steadfast (in religion), he is indeed a true momin. Such a person will not stray on to the wrong path, and he is embraced by the spiritual vision of the Lord Hari You are eternal; ........................	357

Let us explore this further with the excerpts from Pir Pandiyat-i Jawanmardi, the teachings of Imam NOOR Mowlana Shah Mustansir bi'l-laah II (a.s.):

"O, believers! The path of God (Haqq) is the "Straight Road" (Siratu'l-mustaqeem). This means the recognition (marifat) of the Imam of the time. His leadership is the right path. So far as you can, try by every means to follow that right path in order to attain the goal of Truth (manzil-i haqqiqat), which is the recognition of the Imam of the time. Strive to perfect your devotion and faith (din wa iman) when you are still young, and arrive at the coveted "Spring of water", because towards the end of your life you may become weakened. You may then become greedy for (pleasures of) this world, neglecting (religious matters). Therefore, comprehend this and fulfill it now if you can." (pp.9-10)

"If you desire to keep your hearts fresh and alive with affection and love for the Truth (Haqq), if you wish that love for the Lord (Khudawand) should become rooted in your hearts, making you long for the vision (liqa') of your Creator, longing for the didar, then take your hearts away from all that is not the Truth and turn your faces towards (your) Lord (Khudawand), appealing to the Creator and the pir, or spiritual guide, giving up frivolous and absurd thinking, throwing love for this world out of your hearts completely. Then love for (your) Lord (Khudawand) will at once become strong in your hearts, marking ardent your longing. Take refuge with God from the ignorant and hypocritical people who have turned their faces from the abode of the Imam of the time and the true pir, from those who do not recognize the Imam of the time. They will be ruined, stranded, humiliated, aggrieved and annihilated." (p.28)

3. Ardent Prayer

In this Diamond Jubilee, especially after the mulaqats with the Eastern Canadian Jamats and upcoming mulaqats in other countries, may Noor Mowlana Hazar Imam fill our spiritual hearts with his NOOR and nothing else!

May we all be blessed with Zaheri-Noorani Didar and many, many Batini-Noorani Didars in our personal search for higher spiritual enlightenment through the Noor of Mowlana Hazar Imam. Ameen.

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.

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

Allâhumâ salli alâ Muhammadin wa âle Muhammad:
O Allah! Bestow Peace on and through Muhammad and his Descendants

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

May NOOR Mowlana Shah Karim Al-Hussaini Hazar Imam (a.s.) grant peace, prosperity, happiness, barakat, higher spiritual enlightenment, spiritual & luminous tayid (help) and empowerment to you, your family, your Jamat and the worldwide Jamat! Ameen.
