The Mukhi was a straightforward religious man he was devastated with the ordeal. He began his Giriyajari tasbih and intense prayers and fortunately got the opportunity of the mehmani. so, what does this story teach us? Prayers in absence of the Imam physically does not help? or was Mukhi weak in im...

You wrote," Vishnu = sustainer aka Rab; Brahma = creator aka Khaliq; Maheshwar = destroyer." You people first make up your minds," Are you Muslims or still Hindus?" When you recite your Du'a, you do not say, Ya Vishnu, Ya Brahma, or Ya Shiva. According to Hindu philisophy Vishnu...

This question is for ismailignosis and for others also In order to establish who the Imam is , we should understand first the concept of creation and "Amr" Abu Ya'qub Ishaq as-Sijistani (4) in his epistle Tuhfat al-mustajibin says that Divine Will (al-amr) was the first and only thing to i...

thank you.

I join Tret to thank you for sharing what you know.

God bless you and peace be with you.

In my opinion, the Imam will respect the laws of nature(Kudrat) that he has created though he himself is not bound by them. There are interesting questions: Can God create something so heavy that he himself can not move it, is he limited in his power to do so? If he can, he is not the most powerful...

The Imam may not use his hands but he can create anything by simply applying his will and it could happen spontaneously if he chooses to do that. Right. So, not physically! so the Imam has limitations as to what He can do and what He can't do. can you state some or few examples what He can't do?

This discussion started very good, but it got side tracked. Want to wake up this old thread, which is really interesting. I'd love to hear what other participants have to say. Please have your say. i had once asked someone the difference between Soul and Spirit and got the following answer: 1. Soul...

I agree with you that Eternal Imam is the Noor, and the Manifest Imam is the bearer [ or rather the manifestation or Mazhar ] of that Noor. Imam speaks as Eternal Imam or Manifest Imam, depending who are the audience. When Imam speaks as Eternal Imam [And that's why some members quote Farameen], th...

When you say "Imamate is higher than Prophet-hood", can you please elaborate, in what sense do you mean this? Any reference to validate your point, please? I based it on 002:124 and when his Lord tested Abraham with certain words, and he fulfilled them. He said, 'Behold, I make you Imam f...

It's always best to beg to differ, or simply agree to disagree than to quarrel, and simply cut short the discussion [or debate]. However, these type of discussions [or debate rather] always end up in disagreement, and is really hard to [learn or] come to an agreement. Until unless ahle-sunnah and s...

thanx.

one more thing, if Imam Ali and the his descendants are the 10th Manifestation of God, then who where the first and the last Imams of the 9th Manifestation of God?

The lineal descent implies that there has always been Allah's manifestation since creation. So in that sense Allah manifested in the highest form of creation and that could have taken the form of a fish, amphibia, animals etc. The Man was created He manifested himself in the the form of Man. are yo...

Here are some questions: - If there were humanity and Prophets/Imams pre-Adam, then why -- According to Islam -- there is no mention of it in the Book of God [Qur'an] ? do have a better explanation for 002:030 ?

Not the billion years ago but most scholar believes that more than 14000 years ago mature human being evaluated. But your question is about Avatars so lets concentrate on that.

if true, then I wonder why would God send Prophets for only 6000 years out of 4.2 billion years Good question brother Before H. Adam ( 7000 ) years ago there were many prophets came but they are not recognized as prophet but known as 'AVATAR' . For more information please read pir Sadardin and Syed...

Asalaam-o-Alaikum & Ya Ali (a.s.) Madad. I've heard some people, especially my fellow 12ers, saying that Hazrat Adam (a.s.) was the first man on earth. I was under the impression that he was only the first prophet ... ? Which is correct? :? Hazrat Adam (a.s.) couldn't have been the first man be...

He was first prophet. As per ginanic sources this universe is 4.2 billions years old there must be humans living before H.Adam who was borned only 7000 years ago! as many scholars believe. if true, then I wonder why would God send Prophets for only 6000 years out of 4.2 billion years but God knows ...

What is the difference between these two words? In my opinion nothing, seems printing mistakes or it must be same meaning of these two different words I dont think Dua pronunciations are fixed and it depends on the reciter. In a sentence, two words has to be joined together by a vowel. for example,...

since dasond belongs to the Imam of the Time, therefore only Imam of the Time can decide what to do with the dasond.

However, you can give the needy from what belongs to you.

Sheri said : "drunk" is the key word here. Please look up the definition of "drunk", then re-read and reflect. It is against the IMAM's farman to drink and smoke. But being "drunk" is a sin in Islam . So for ismailis smoking is also going against the IMAMs farmans. MHI...

So, please if you can support your assertion of the Prophet being the first Pir, it'll certainly be appreciated. If the old "Dua" says the Prophet being the first Pir, isn't that enough ? Regarding "Min kunta Maula fa haza Ali Maula" meaning "Ali is the Lord of those whose ...
