Ya Ali Madad! This post has two parts:
1. Knowledge Section;
2. Angelic Salwat Dhikr.
Part 1: Knowledge Section
Why should we obey and submit to the Holy Prophet and the Holy Imams? The answer to this question is given in the following excerpts from Majlis 10: Submission to the Decision of the Imam by Qazi Noaman [Source: Selections from Qazi Noaman's Kitab-ul-Himma fi Adabi Ataba-el-a'emma or Code of Conduct for the Followers of Imam. pp.64-73]:
|
"God says (in the Holy Quran), "Obey God, the Prophet and obey your spiritual leaders." (Surah 4, Ayat 59). "I swear by your Lord, they cannot become 'momins' unless they refer their disputes to you and are perfectly satisfied with your decision and they submit to the utmost limit." (Surah 4, Ayat 65).
Submission implies obedience to God externally and internally; and obedience to God is linked with the obedience of the Prophet and to the Imams. Accordingly it is the duty of every 'momin' to submit entirely to the Imams, He should act strictly according to their instructions. He should have implicit faith in them and should give expression to it openly and in secret. It matters little whether he finds their instructions agreeable to him or not, it matters little whether he understands their significance or not. He should persevere in carrying them out and disciplining his mind in this direction. The time is sure to come when he will find agreeable what looks disagreeable to him now, when the significance of what he fails to understand now will ultimately dawn on his mind." (pp.64-65) |
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.
