Du'a karavi
Encyclopedia
Du‘ā' Karāwī is a Nizari Isma'ili
ceremony during which the Ismaili asks God for His forgivness through the Imam of the Time. The Qur'an
states that the Muslim must repent of their sins; it further stipulates that the believer (mu'mins) must approach the presence of the Prophet Muhammad and seek forgiveness and that the Prophet must also seek forgiveness on their behalf. This is evident in several Qur'anic verses including the following:
We sent not a Messenger, but to be obeyed, in accordance with the will of Allah. If they had only, when they were unjust to their souls, come unto you [Muhammad] and asked God’s forgiveness, and the Messenger had asked forgiveness for them, they would have found Allah indeed Oft-returning, Most Merciful.”
- Quran 4:64
In Nizari Ismailism, the Imam of the Time is the inheritor of the authority (amr) and knowledge ('ilm) of Prophet Muhammad.
