Creation of God can not be God himself. Fanna fi Allah means the drop merging into the ocean and becoming the Ocean itself. Did you read the thread? You mentioned 'Swami maaro chatur.....'. What this part of Ginan has to do with the topic 'can a human be a God'. Do you mean Swami (Ali, Imam, Shah) ...

So a blessed person has blessed visions of Muhammad, Christ, Krishna; it looks you concluded that these 3 entities are same as Prophets because MSMS in Memoirs mentioned them as Prophets, but these entities themselves had visions of higher authority. Is it a condition that one has to wait 9 months ...

Yes I did read Memoirs completely some time back. That particular chapter do not mention Ismaili Tenets as mentioned in Preamble by present Imam. It is a kind of birds eye view on Islam and Ismaili history. I was comparing the Memoirs to Buj Nirinjan. Both of them are not Farmans for murids in my o...

MSMS compared pure murids as angels, but he did not mentioned that they perform the same duties as angels do like of Jibrael or Izrael. An elevated soul worthy of being called an angel is capable of performing anything at will. You may want to go to: can humans BE God? http://www.ismaili.net/html/m...

Glimpses of paradise, like what? First stage of paradise (say) 100 watts light. Second stage 200 watts light. Seventh stage 1000 Kw of light. Depending upon the background of an individual, he may experience blessed visions of Muhammad, Christ, Krishna as indications of being on the right path, for...

Memoirs is not a book of Ismaili Tenets, but Bhuj Nirinjin was written to explain Ismaili faith. Have you read it? There is a chapter in it explaining the concept of Islam: Religion of My Ancestors ISLAM THE RELIGION OF MY ANCESTORS http://www.ismaili.net/Source/0016b.html Yes I did read Memoirs co...

In other words Bhuj Nirijin is not Farman for non murids but it is Farman for murids! Farmans are only meant for murids. Non murids are of course welcome to partake in them, however they are not required to obey them. My assertion is that Buj Niranjan is not a Farman for his murids. Just as the Mem...

In past few decades there has been scientific studies on NDE and OBE. In my opinion these experiments are related to dreams, imaginations, hallucinations, and subconscious mind. After real physical and clinical death, when angel of death takes soul out of body there is no way the soul will enter bod...

In first line of above post, please correct the word porno instead of prono.

In intercourse the result is lust, then according to you it can be called spiritual lust and this term can be applied for Huurs also. Intercourse if interpreted correctly is the most intimate moment of a relationship between two individuals, leading to birth/rebirth of another individual. Hence it ...

MSMS compared pure murids as angels, but he did not mentioned that they perform the same duties as angels do like of Jibrael or Izrael.

About Al Hallaj, Imam Sultan Muhammad Shah said in a Farman," For Mansoor Paradise was present but he said I do not want paradise, I shall go higher than that". There are 7 stages of paradise, but for perfection union with perfect is the goal. Of course perfect union is the goal, however ...

God said,"light upon light". How can we explain light upon light? Is it a kind of layer of light on other layer of light? Is it explained as stages of light? Or one light will depart and other will take its place? Is this light colorful? Can we look at this light without harming eyes? Is t...

God created angels to help Him, they are obedient to Lord and obey orders. They do not have their will. Are angels brainless?

So Pir Sadardin just composed one piece of poetry for non Ismaili Muslims! . He could have composed many, but only one that has been preserved and come down to us because of its value to our tradition as well. Poetry for non-Murids are not considered Farmans and hence are not treated or preserved l...

For al-Tusi, paradise is the perpetual state of the genuine seeker after the truth. Whosoever is on the spiritual, actively seeking and finding the inner meaning of the words of scripture is already ‘a denizen of Paradise.‘ As one progresses steadily through various spiritual stages, he encounters a...

You have right to your opinion, I gave reference of Al Waiz Abu Ali in which he refuted claim by Ali Asani and others about authorship of Bhuj Nirinjin. He said, indeed the Grunth was written by Pir Sadardin. Historically we do not have any reference that Pir Sadardin had non Ismaili murids. Pir Sa...

My query: Does GAVAN KAREEJE means intercourse in Gujrati? In the context of the verse it means intercourse or close relationship just as in a marriage. I think the word intercourse is not appropriate. It should be explained as to be one with God. Like water mixes with water become water. PANI MEY ...

[quote="kmaherali"]The following verses allude to Ibadat using the imagery of worldly marriage and sexual intercourse as a means towards birthing into the Divine, i.e., becoming the Imam. Verses from the ginan "Abdu man jite man ichhaa fal upaje". abdhu heer parchhe tyu tanku(n) ...

kmaherali quote: Hence although this verse is true for general Sufis, it is not accurate for Ismailis, hence I have expressed doubts about the authorship of this granth as being of Pir Sadardeen. If indeed he authored it, it would have been for general Sufis and not for his murids.[/quote] You have ...

Do you believe in the content of Bhuj Nirinjin? Of course I do believe in the uplifting aspect of Buj Niranjan, otherwise I would not have bothered to translate it and make it available at: http://ismaili.net/heritage/node/23011 Appreciate you translated Bhuj Nirijin.

A quotation from Nimira's blog; The number of verses in Ginans varies from 4 to 10 in the shorter ones to over 500 in the longer ones. Generally the shorter versions do not possess titles, therefore, the first verses or refrains serve as titles for identification purpose. Some of the longer Ginans ...
