HADIRIL-MAWJUD SHAH KARIMIL-HUSAYNI.

(In prostration) 
AL-LAHUM-MA LAKA SUJUDI WA TA'ATI.

Translation:

    In the name of Allah, the most Beneficent, the most 
Merciful.

   O Apostle, deliver (to the people), what has been 
revealed to thee from thy Lord; and if thou did not do 
so, then thou hast not delivered His Message, and Allah 
will protect thee from the people.
                    (Sura Ma'eda - Sura 5 Ayat 67) 

There is no deity except Allah, the Ever-Living, the
Eternal.

   There is no deity except Allah, the Sovereign, the 
Ultimate Truth, the Evident:

There is no deity except Allah, the Sovereign, the
Ultimate Truth, the Certainty:

There is no deity except Allah. the Lord of the Day
of Judgment:

There is no hero except 'Aly. there is no sword
except (his sword) 'Zulfiqar'.

   Seek at the time of difficulties, the help of your 
Lord, the present living (Imam) Shah Karim al-Husayni. 

O Allah to Thee is my prostration and obedience.

Comments:

1. The last line of the original verse 5:67 is expunged in the text above. No Muslim would  recite a bifurcated, edited or part-deleted verse of the Qur'an, in his/her prayer.

2. Ismailis  are taught that the above verse was revealed to the prophet in connection with the prophet's Declaration of Ali (a.s.) as the Imam of the Ummah, at the Gadheer-e-Khum. Reading of the preceding and following verses clearly demonstrate that the Message to be delivered by the prophet was for the "People of the Book" who were not present at the Gadheer-e-Khum.

3. In Part One of the Du'a, while reciting the Sura Fatiha, Ismailis say to Allah: "Thee alone we worship and Thee alone we seek help". In Part Two, Ismailis again recite: "O Allah, O our Lord from Thee is my help and upon Thee is my reliance.

4. In Part Three above, Ismailis recite: "Seek at the time of
difficulties, the help of your Lord, the present living Imam Shah Karim Al Husayni." And, in the Part Five below: "O Imam of the time, O our Lord, Thou are my strength and Thou art my support and on Thee I rely, O present, O living, O Shah Karim Al-Husayni." To a non-Ismaili the duplicity is apparent.

5. Ismailis who genuinely believe Karim Aga Khan to be "Sahi" (truly) Allah, detect NO hypocrisy. The question for them is: 
If Aly/Aga Khan "is" what you believe, then why are you seeking from Allah; "O Allah, let Thy peace be on 'Aly - the favourite, and on the Imams", in part One of your Holy Du'a? It seems the term "Sahi" is not absolutely "Sahi"!

KARIMIL-HUSAYNI.

(In prostration)
AL-LAHUM-MA LAKA SUJUDI WA TA'ATI.

Translation:
In the name of Allah, the most Beneficent, the most
Merciful.

   (O Prophet) Verily, those who give Thee their 
allegiance, they give it but to Allah (Himself); Allah's 
hand is upon their hands. Then he, who breaks it, he 
certainly breaks it against himself. And he who fulfills 
what he has pledged with Allah. He shall in return 
reward him in plenty.
                       (Sura Fatah - Sura 48 Ayat 10)

    O Allah, forgive us our sins, and give us our bread, 
and have mercy upon us, in the name of Thy closest 
Messengers and Thy holy Imams, and in the name of 
our Lord and our Imam, Shah Karim al-Husayni.

O Allah to Thee is my prostration and obedience.

most Merciful.

   O ye who believe, do not betray Allah and the 
Apostle and do not betray your trusts while you know.
                           (Sura Anfal - Sura 8 Ayat 27)

    O our Lord, forgive us our sins, and make our tasks 
easy, and give us our bread, and have mercy upon us; 
Thou art the Omnipotent.

   O 'Aly, OMuhammad; OMuhammad. O 'Aly.

   O Imam of the time, O our Lord, Thou art my 
strength and Thou art my support and on Thee I rely. 
O present O living, O Shah Karim al-Husayni, Thou art 
the true manifest Imam.

O Allah to Thee is my prostration and obedience.
