Brother Binom, For quite some time I have noticed that you have been going in circles very angry, (and short of beign abusive), you have been criticizing Ismaili doctrines and in particular our Most Beloved Imam in a very offensive manner. It reminds me of Umrao the Kafir who had challenged the Prop...

Access is the most important element in this struggle, in that people don’t have access to the material. For many years there has been a difficulty in obtaining Farmans of the Imam….. Really? By whom? Non-Ismailis, yes! However, Farmans are read in JK, twice in the morning and once in the evening. ...

Brother SamirNoorali, I do not agree with a lot of things you suggest to InquisitiveGirl. We are a faith just like Christianity and Judaism, and we should be proud of that. Proud to hold up the Ismaili flag in public and say to non-Ismailis that I am an Ismaili and I follow the Aga Khan. That sense ...

In Iran, Syria, Iraq you will see depictions of Hazarat Ali S.A.W. and Hazarat Hasan and Imam Hussein riding horses. As a matter of fact one Ismaili woman from Iran gave me a Persian Carpet to hang on the wall with the picture of Mowla Ali S.A. and another Ismaili friend who visited Iran brought me ...

Dear InquisitiveGirl, You sound like an intelligent and level headed person. I also applaud your husband who has allowed you to follow your faith with such devotion to your Imam. In an inter-marriage or any marriage the support of your spouse is very important. I believe you should support your husb...

Also, some argue that he was Shi'a as he was born into a Bohra family. You are righ...

Brother Znanwalla, Shiraz virani, Why don't you ask this same question or make the same statement here... so we can help you enjoy the "saga" ....why boast in front of those whose Imams are hidden for 1100 plus years...ask us or don't make statements about us elsewhere where we aren't ther...

Binom says: There needs to be an authoritative basis for it, but that authority need not be your imam. It may “need not be” for you. For Ismailis it is THE IMAM . If you believe that there is another authoritative basis, please name it. Binom: : In the case of the first question, I asked you to prov...

Brother Shiraz Virani, Thank you for providing the link. In Sura II Allah S.W.T. says “God has set a seal on their hearts and on their hearing and on their eyes, is a veil; Great is the penalty they incur.” The link you provided is going to make no difference to the people to whom Allah S.W.T. refer...
