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

Ya Ali Madad! This post has three parts.

1. Knowledge Section;
2. The Ismaili Shahada; and
3. Angelic Salwat Dhikr.

Part 1: Teaching of al-Muayyyad fid-Din al-Shirazi

Here is an excerpt from Lecture 1, Potential and Actual "Jannat", from the book titled 'Life and Lectures of the Grand Missionary Al-Muayyad-Fid-Din Al-Shirazi' (pp.53-54):

"The Holy Qur'an says, "They intend to put off the light of God by blowing it by their mouths. But God has decided to His light burning forever" (9:32). This refers to the Imams. Their enemies did their best to put out the Light of God. Thank God for the favour He has done to you by keeping the divine light burning forever for your good. Keep aloof from those who turned their backs to this light and have shown utter ingratitude to him. They have done no harm to God but to themselves. They have scratched their bodies by their own nails. They have treated with scorn the holy mosques of God and the arches of the mosques. To put in plain language they have wronged the Imams, the descendants of the Prophet. The Holy Quran says, "O Momins, go to the mosque properly dressed". The mosque here stands for the Imam. The enemies of the Imam enjoy peace and prosperity under them and yet they revolt against them. This is the work of traitors. God is with the Imams. No treachery can succeed with them. He always helps their cause and makes their mission prosper."

Part 2: The Ismaili Shahada

In the second part of our Holy Dua, we recite the Ismaili Shahada as follows:

"La ilaha illallah, Muhammadur-Rasoolullah, 'Aliyyun Amirul-Mu'mineen 'Aliyullah
Mawlana Shah Rahim ul Hussaini, Al-Imamul Hazarul Maujood."

"There is no deity except Allah, Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, 'Ali - the master of believers - is from Allah. Our Lord Shah Rahim Al-Hussaini is our present and living Imam"

Let us first recite the Ismaili Shahada to feel the presence of Noor Mowlana Hazar Imam and then use this energy to recite the Angleic Salwat!

Part 3. 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
