Importance of Ginans

Post by star_munir »

Imam Sultan Mohammad Shah once asked to leaders [karachi] that If I am giving Deedar and at the same time Ginan is reciting,to which one jamat must pay attention.They said towards you than Imam said
JAB TAK GINAN BOLA JA RAHA HO JAMAT KO CHAHIYE KAI GINAN MAI DHIYAN RAKHAY KYU KAI GINAN KAI ZARIYE TUM KO HUMARI SHANAKHT MILI HAI.

Once Hazir Imam went to India for Deedar and due to lack of time recitation of Ginan was not included in programWhen Hazir Imam went to stage Mukh Saheb requested to Imam for Farman.Imam asked why Ginan is not recited.Immediately some ismailis who were ready were asked to recite Ginan.

Importance of Ginans

Post by star_munir »

On the morning of November 11th at Life Dedication Assembly in Garden

Jamat

Khana, Imam arrived and was seated upon a chair. According to the

scheduled

programme, few verses of a Holy Ginan were to be recited before the Imam.

But before the recitation was to take place, Imam indicated that He

wished



for them to recite the whole Ginan "Aye Rahem Raheman ab to Rahem

Karoge."



Accordingly, the Ginan of Imam's choice was recited and the entire Jamat

joined in the recitation. Imam was immensely happy and because of the

Ginan

He showered His Rahemat on the Jamat saying, "Today, you have cooled My

eyes..."

You mention sultan mohd shah saying to the leaders - then how come you knew details of the conversation? If you have heard, how come you know what you heard is true?

Translation: When Ginans are recited then attention should be paid to them because through Ginans you have attained my true recognition.
