In his judgment of the Haji Bibi Case, Justice Russel recognized from his observation of the Du’as since the time of Imam Aga Hassanali Shah (Aga Khan I) up to 1908 that there were only minor changes in the Du’a through times.
Three generations later, in the 14th Century, that Du`a was revised or completed by Pir Sadardin. The first reference of the Du’a recited 3 times a day and replacing the previous five daily Namaz can be found in Pir Shams’ Granths. Pir Shams arrived in the Indian Sub-Continent around 1,200 CE, few decades after the Declaration. The Declaration of the Great Resurrection by the Ismaili Imam Ḥasan ʿAlā Zikrihi's-Salām on 8 August 1164, that is on 17th of Ramadan abolished the Shariah as practiced by Ismailis up to that date, and brought a re-examination of the recitation of the text of the five daily Namaz in the Ismaili community. This paper was first presented during the 3rd Ismaili Study Conference in 2021.
