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

Ya Ali Madad. In his Farman Mubarak made at the Diwan of the Ismaili Imamat on 11th February 2025, Noor Mowlana Shah Rahim Al-Hussaini Hazar Imam told the global Jamat that he was looking forward to visiting his Jamat around the world.  This project has been designed to augment the preparation of each murid for a Zaheri-Noorani didar of Noor Mowlana Hazar Imam.

Allâhumâ salli alâ Muhammadin wa âle Muhammad
(O Allah! Bestow Peace on and through Muhammad and his Descendants).

Under the ‘Precious Wisdoms’ tab on the navigation bar of the Salman Spiritual website, you will find the following resources. Please do them sequentially and with Noor Mowlana Hazar Imam’s grace, you will be immensely empowered for a Zaheri-Noorani Didar. The first activity is develop or augment an aspiration and wish list. The list presented below can be personalized to your taste and can be used during the reflection time.

The second activity is to do 40-night project to strengthen our understanding of the esoteric teachings of our Holy Faith and also do the dhikrs which are on each page. These forty sparks will awaken our souls and increase our yearning for the Holy Zaheri-Noorani Didar.

The third activity is to build a spiritual house within ourselves and invite Noor Mowlana Hazar Imam to visit us esoterically. We can do this by increasing the intensity of ten gold-star, established and proven activities of the Ismaili Tariqah. Then, reflect on the four additional gems in which we learn about deeper aspects of Noor Mowlana Hazar Imam.

The fourth activity is to study the Twenty Teachings of al-Muayyyad fid-Din al-Shirazi. Al-Muayyad Fid-Din Al-Shirazi was the Chief Dai (Daa-ee-ud-Duat) in the time of Imam al-Mustansir during the Fatimid period. These teachings are from the book titled, ‘Life and Lectures of Grand Missionary Al-Muayyad Fid-Din Al-Shirazi’ by Prof. Jawad Muscati, Ustad-fil-Uloomil-Arabiya and Khan Bahadur A. M. Moulvi, M.A. Published by Ismailia Association Pakistan, Karachi-3 in 1966.

I came across the following teaching of Noor Mowlana Shah Karim Al-Hussaini (a.s). Here is an excerpt of this farman:

…to the wise — share your wisdom; to the wise — share your wisdom! And there are many wise men and women in our Jamat so we have a lot of wisdom to share.

On the occasion of Shab-e Mi’raj, the commemoration of the journey in which our Holy Prophet (s.a.s.) attained the status of fana fi’llah and baqa bi’llah using ism-i azam (symbolized by Burraq, the mystical horse), please accept our heartfelt felicitations!

On this night, may Noor Mowlana Shah Rahim Al-Hussaini Hazar Imam, the 50th direct lineal descendant of the Holy Prophet (s.a.s.), grant peace, prosperity, happiness, barakat, higher spiritual enlightenment, spiritual & luminous tayid (help) and empowerment to the global Jamat. Ameen.

May these posts empower all of us to climb our own spiritual ladder to our final destination: The Abode of Eternal Peace (Daras Salaam)! Ameen.
