Spiritual Knowledge Management & Dissemination Through SalmanSpiritual.Com

  6. Articulated Orientation of the Site and Documented Resources Used

    This site focuses on the Alid tradition of a thinking and spiritual Islam: an Islam which leads to the development of the human soul to its highest level as described His Highness Aga Khan III:

    "Islamic doctrine goes farther than the other great religions for it proclaims the presence of the soul, perhaps minute but nevertheless existing in an embryonic state in all existence in matter, in animals, trees, and space itself. Every individual, every molecule, every atom has its own spiritual relationship with the All-Powerful Soul of God. But men and women, being more highly developed, are immensely more advanced than the infinite number of other beings known to us. Islam acknowledges the existence of angels, of great souls who have developed themselves to the highest possible planes of human soul and higher, and who are centres of forces which are scattered throughout the universe. Without going as far as Christianity, Islam recognizes the existence of evil spirits which seek by means of their secret suggestions to turn us from good, from that strait way traced by God's finger for the eternal happiness of the humblest as of the greatest -- Abraham, Jesus, Mohammed."

  7. Developed Content which is Synchronized with the Vision of NOOR Mowlana Sultan Muhamad Shah (a.s.) and NOOR Mowlana Shah Karim Al-Hussaini (a.s.) Hazar Imam

    I have developed this website with the hope of actualizing the major concept of enlightenment described in the following excerpt from the Platinum Jubilee Message of Imam NOOR Mowlana Shah Sultan Muhammad Shah (a.s.):

    "In these 70 years of my Imamat, man's material condition has totally changed. There has been immense increase in power over nature but, as we see, with strifes everywhere spiritual power has not increased.
     
    It is my hope that my Spiritual Children, the Ismailis, will, by the example of their own higher enlightenment and helpful cooperative movements amongst themselves, set to the world an example of better fraternity and brotherhood which alone can free men from the fear and dangers of moral and mental discord which leads to disaster for all."

    The following teachings of NOOR Mowlana Shah Karim Al-Hussaini (a.s.) also emphasize the central message of higher spiritual enlightenment:

    On December 13, 2008, NOOR Mowlana Hazar Imam (a.s.) said:

    "I convey to all my beloved spiritual children individually ... blessings ... for spiritual enlightenment to guide you in your lives ...."

    Now here is a question which needs deep reflection:
     
    How can spiritual enlightenment guide us in our lives? Is there an indication here that the time has come that we should evolve to such a state that the Light of NOOR Mowlana Hazar Imam becomes a guiding Light for us? If this is the case, then should we not practise bandagi regularly?

    In my opinion, NOOR Mowlana Hazar Imam has set a new standard and raised the bar for the whole global Jamat since the launch of the Golden Jubilee on July 11, 2007. At that time, Mowla said in his last Dua:

    "And I pray that you may live in peace, and with spiritual enlightenment to guide you."

    Now it is up to us to understand the meaning of these duas and to create an enabling environment within our consciousness so that NOOR Mowlana Hazar Imam's LIGHT (NOOR) guides us in all matters! Al-Hamdulillah, now we know and that is what we try should do! This is not easy and needs a change in one's outlook and lifestyle, but the results are a taste of eternal peace and true happiness while we are still in this hectic, material world! What can we not do when the Light of NOOR Mowlana Hazar Imam is with us?

    Let us hope, pray and act upon this guidance and be blessed with the 'golden' didar of NOOR Mowlana Shah Karim Al-Hussani (a.s.) during his glorious Imamat. Ameen.
