Ya Ali Madad! This post has two parts:

1. Knowledge Section;
2. Angelic Salwat Dhikr.

 

Part 1: Knowledge Section

How does one achieve success in this world and the next? In verse 60 of Kalāmē Mowlā, NOOR Mowlana Murtazā Ali (a.s.) has elaborated on the concept of struggle agains one's lower self as follows:

 

Recited by Shafiq Rawji

 

Jēhād karnā kāfarsēnthee,
a kalāmmē hukam hay rabkā,
to badā kāfar hay nafsē ammārā,
sahee bujo bandē sabkā

To wage Holy War against an infidel
is the command of the Lord.
But a greater infidel is your lower self (nafs-i ammāra),
Know this as true for all.

To jees bandēnē nafsku(n) mārā,
usnē fatēh pāee donu(n) jahān,
jo koee tābē mankē rahyā,
to donu(n) jahānmē(n) huā pashēmān ......60

The one who has defeated the lower self,
has indeed achieved success in both worlds.
The one who surrenders to the lower self,
is miserable in both worlds. .....60

 

May NOOR Mowlana Hazar Imam inspire us to follow the Right Path and be blessed with many Batini Noorani (spiritual and luminous) Didars in this life time. Ameen.

Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim
