I posted this question to gain some new perspectives on whether or not ismailis today ourselves as idolaters or not. With this forum, I have learned some new ideologies that I never knew about before! Now it is apparent that quite a few ppl have a personal vendetta against me for bringing up this qu...

You started off as a very open minded intellectual person. Wow.. what do i say? Just plz read this whole article... plz! Virgo 2 said: "There are 73 sects and they all have their own Namaz. So who is right? If you think that going into ruku and going into Sajada is the correct way of praying th...

I think you need to read everything over again. That way you can stay on topic of this discussion!

Anybody know where exactly the first khane ever built is located??? Guessing in Syria somewhere but plz if you have the location hook me up!

azamour, I value what you have written about fasting! You have brought up some really valid points! Experience shapes everyone in a different manner right? Well as a previous Kamadia-Saheb, I observed a lot of disgusting things done with ppls contribution towards dasond in khanes. There is politics ...

You're right Qiblah (direction of prayer) was originally towards Jerusalem. But then Jews began to believe that Islam was leaning towards Judaism. This misinterpretation was avoided when Qiblah was directed towards Ka'bah. I don't know why prayer was not directed to the Ka'bah first. That is a quest...

And I have made my point Shams! So be it

I did not ask this question with the intention of getting anybody riled up; yet it appears that I have done so! Everyone has their own opinions and I have mine. I merely wanted other perspectives on things. I don't think you should be comparing prayers though! What you said about the ayats doesn't s...

I am really interested on what kmaherali has to say on what I have written so far and anyone else!

Shams once again, I have never referred to Ismailism as a "cult" or a "club". There is no need in raising those particular points! You also stated that "Jamat Khana's all over the world are the property of Mowlana Hazar Imam", "it's his HOUSE", and that "...

You're right! One may interpret the Quran as prescribing at least three prayers. But this is only an interpretation. My friend, the Quran does reveal to us five prayer times: 1. Fajr (Dawn Prayer)- Before sunrise. Mentioned in 24:58. 2. Zuhr (Noon Prayer)- As sun declines. Mentioned in 17:78. 3. Asr...

First off let me appolgize because for some reason I cannot use any apostrophes on the computer I am using. lol. With that I would like to say that I do not dispute most of what you have said. Yet I am still skeptical about whether or not we idolize the imam. I completely agree with you that all Shi...

Yam! I do not mean to offend anybody with my topic. I merely wish to question my beliefs so I can strengthen them in turn. Please review [2:165-167] in the Quran to undertand my query. That is Verse 165 of Surah 2. To revere anything (human being, object) to the same extent as we do Allah is sinful....
