Ya Ali Madad - Madat

Post by Admin »

Discuss the topic of Ya Ali Madad in this thread please.

In acronymfinder.com

we find this which I find perfectly OK:

What does YAM stand for?
YAM stands for Ya Ali Madat (Muslim greeting: God Be With You)

It reminds me of the Farman saying "Call Ali"

There are some beautiful Kawalis and Qasidas on Ya Ali Madad on the Net:

For research purpose, can any participant on this forum shed light; When and in which century Shias started saying 'YA ALI MADAD' in salutation while meeting and greeting.
1, During the time of prophet.
2. During the life time of Mowla Ali.
3. During the time of Imam Ja'far Sadiq
4. In the 3/4 century Hijrah.
I know Shias including Ismailis consider Nad e Ali as basis for YA ALI MADAD, but my question is in which century. I have checked the early Shia literature but can't find it

You are right, I assumed the subject was missing since someone started this topic in the Constitution Preamble discussion. I should have verified first.

Anyway, Discussion on Ya Ali Madat to continue in one of the existing thread after this message.
