Ya Ali Madad! This post has two parts:

1. Knowledge Section;
2. Angelic Salwat Dhikr.

 

Part 1: Knowledge Section

Should one toil for this world or the next? In verse 138 of Kalāmē Mowlā, NOOR Mowlana Murtazā Ali (a.s.) exhorts us to raise our consciousness for the next world because it is greater and permanent compared to this material world. The transliteration and translation of the verse is as follows:

 

Recited by Shafiq Rawji

 

Duniyā bēch yē fānee hay,
aur mul lē ākbat kām,
duniyā tērē sang na rahēsee,
khub ākbat mukām

Sell the world, it is perishable
and buy the dwelling of the hereafter.
The world will not remain with you,
and all worthwhile is in the abode of hereafter.

duniyā din chār hay,
chēt tu(n) chhod jāyesee,
eesē bēch ākbat besālē,
wey tujē kām ayesee .....138

The world lasts four days,
take heed, you will leave it;
sell it and dwell in (the awareness of) the hereafter,
this will be useful to you.

 

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.

 

Part 2. Angelic Salwat
Let us recite angelic salwats to invoke Divine grace and mercy.

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
