Niaz Or Aab-shifa

Aab-e-shafa means water of purity.
It is a blessing from Imam to us. By drinking it with iman you get rid from sins.
It is farman that It is only when you drink niyaz with complete and true faith that your heart will be cleansed.
It is only for ismailis.
Pir Sadar din says
Ejee Saar pyio ne vikhee raas dhoro eva ami jal adka pyasa

This ceremony was also at the time of Prophet Mhommad [PBUH]. Hazrat Muhammad [PBUH] put His finger in water and gave it to momins as a niyaz.

After the "Ya Ali" part in the Qayam Karanji tasbih, people always say "Dua niyet kher, illahi tu kher, aankh bajo kher, etc."..can anyone please tell me what that means? Thanks!

dua=prayer
niyat=intention
khair=good
ilahi=divine or eternal
tu=you
akbat=akharat=day of judgement
venti=supplication
samr=to take with
puthia=after
shah toze huzur me=mowla in your glory (for your acceptance) (like an offering)
kabul kar = please accept


this in the old dua was an entire paragraph of amazing beauty.

u see the entire dua and tasbih is finally presented to the Imam

The Ghatpat dua also after kayam karanji (kayam karanji means to make eternal) is presented to our beloved Imam in his prescence, a supplication offerred with utmost humility in that sijda (prostration) after which we give witness to the fact that only Allah is eternal and divine, mohammed is his messenger, and that Aly the leader of momins is from Allah.

Khanavadaan = may your home be prosperous. Home=heart or Dil

Hope it helps you in your reflections and spiritual search.
