ASAK,

I have a question concerning the ethos of volunteer service of the Ismailis.

Is the correct term sadaqa? I know that it is a principle in Islam, but no other community seems to have such a great participation as the Ismailis. How come and what are the duties?

Thank you, Mariam

The traditional Ismaili term for voluntary service is seva. This notion in all it's dimensions is discussed in this forum under:

Rites and Ceremonies --> SEVA
