Need Info. on Converting

[Learning]

Hi,
I wasn't sure which other section to post this under...hopefully someone here can answer my question. I've been learning about Ismailism for the past few months and have read everything I could get my hand on, mostly online since I couldn't find any books about it at the local library. I'm seriously considering converting. My question is, how do I go about it? I haven't found anything anywhere that talks about how a non-Ismaili can become an Ismaili. Do I just need to contact to local Jamatkhana and tell them that I'm interested in converting?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

first you need to contact to the ismaili council or tariqah board about this matter.<BR>i think they will explain you what they expect you to know.

Ya Aly Madad Learning,


I think the first step is to write a letter of Intent where you explain the reason you want to convert to Ismailism to the local Tariqah Board Chairman/Chairperson and then you should be called by someone to answer some questions and then you have your 1st interview where I think you meet with your personal Tutor who guides you in the study of the Faith of Ismailism. After that it is your naseeb.


Ya Aly Madad,
