This page contains a different Naade Ali Prayer in an Old Manuscript. Beautiful page from a Khojki manuscript dated 1820. Written 200 years ago! This is a particular version of the Naade Ali recitation: The Nade Ali ending with : "bi nabuwatika ya Muhammad wa bi wilayatika ya Ali, ya Ali, ya Ali. La fata ila Ali la saif illah zulfikar." |
Syed Baqir Shah tomb is in Pirana on the opposite side of the road where Syed Imamshah's tomb is situated. Ginan attributed to Syed Baqir Shah, re-attributed to Syed Imam Shah by Mukhi Lalji Devraj in his 100 Ginans Khojki books. The book contains about 15 granths and 50 ginans, many with variance or not published in any later publication, first few pages and cover pages are missing, the book starts with Anant Akhado granth. See below the image of the ginan from that books which seems to have been printed around CE 1900 |
This Manuscript contains a History of Satpanth from before creation up to Imam Nizar. This is a different example of Satpanth manuscript. My impression was that Imamshahis have started using Gujarati very early. One of the translation sponsored by Syed Ehmad Ali of the Imamshahis was a transcription from Khojki to Gujarati of an Ismaili manuscript. Here is a manuscript dated 1854 that is in Khojki script but looks like an Imamshahi manuscript. It typically ends with the Kalmo and has a History of Satpanth from before creation up to Imam Nizar. |
