Ya ali madad.

As khutba I meant sermon, or preach. Yes, it didn't mention in Quran. But mission or dawat it is necesssary part of our faith, not only of rituals. By the way -word da'i (muslim missionary) has an ismaili origin. May be ismaili religion teaching has some other forms then hutba

Don't consider my questions as a mirror of my religion view. I ask them with the purpose to find true way. Ismailies I guess it will be my own choice. I understood that ismailes have no namaz o­n muslim manner, but o­nly du'a.But dothey practice such thing as khutba.

Ya ali madad! I guess that attitude towards Qibla is fifty-fifty because of contents of ayaths 142-144 al-Bakkara. May be everybody solve this problem for oneself individually. Today I have heard today from one educated sunni-person that for ismaili is not obligatory namaz in traditiional frame? Is ...
