WISDOM 31
Al-Hamdu li'llah
The exalted Imam has two doors: the external and the internal, so that it may be possible for all murids of both near and far to have access to his presence.
WISDOM 32
Al-Hamdu li'llah
The secret of secrets of the Light of Imamat is that in this Tariqah it is commanded to do luminous `ibadat so that the pure souls may receive the knowledge of names (`ilmu'l-asma').
WISDOM 33
Al-Hamdu li'llah
A mu'min always remembers God whether he is in comfort or in hardship, for it is by this that his heart remains satisfied (13:28). He is aware of the reality that he has to remain engaged in Divine remembrance always.
WISDOM 34
Al-Hamdu li'llah
The `ibadat of mu'mins reaches the Supreme Throne and merging into the Word of "Be (kun)" becomes the power of the Divine command, and thereby conditions are improved.
WISDOM 35
Al-Hamdu li'llah
The fundamental and key wisdom of the Ismaili Tariqah is that every individual should progress spiritually by attending Jama`at Khanah, because it is an extremely sacred and blessed place.
WISDOM 36
Al-Hamdu li'llah
Jama`at Khanah is the workshop of Light, where Light is created from dhikr and `ibadat, from knowledge and advice, from love for the Imam of the time, from every kind of good deed and service and from bol, baytu'l-khayal and naqsh.
WISDOM 37
Al-Hamdu li'llah
Angels and good souls are present in Jama`at Khanah, because the sacred and pure Light of the Imam of the time is there, just as there are moths around a candle and butterflies around the flowers. Thus there is always an army of souls and angels with the Light of Imamat.
WISDOM 38
Al-Hamdu li'llah
The Imam of the time has all the treasures of knowledge and wisdom. Thus the wisdom of every mu'min lies in the fact that he should recognize his Imam of the time spiritually and acquire knowledge and wisdom from him.
WISDOM 39
Al-Hamdu li'llah
It is our greatest bliss that we are under the influence of the spiritual cycle. That is to say that, the time of Hazrat Imam Mawlana Sultan Muhammad Shah and Mawlana Shah Karim al-Husayni Hazir Imam, is the time of spiritual and luminous knowledge and in receiving blessing from this is the greatest fortune of mu'mins.
WISDOM 40
Al-Hamdu li'llah
Every mu'min knows that the real bounty of Islam is and is also grateful for it. Thus let us pray that the Lord of the worlds grants us courage and success to recognise the bounties of religion! Amin, O the Lord of the worlds!
