Ismailis Praying 3 times a day vs. 5 times?
Again just looking for where I can find an explanation of this as well.
I was asked but didn't have an answer as to why we only pray 3 times a day vs. those who pray 5.
Thanks

On a religious view. Lets say... anything that goes against religion (God) is bad, right? Okay and similarily Satan opposes God (Evil Vs. Good or Good Vs. Evil). The way I see it is being Gay is Satanic. I think it's a sense or form of being Evil. Clearly if you are going against religion and God, i...

Shams I agree with you on certain points. However, the part of doing things behind closed doors is also what I am speaking about. There are gay people all over. Whether they decide to hold hands in public, or kiss, or confess they are gay, or whether it be the news making headlines about gay marria...

kmaherali If that is the case, then it is a direct contradiction to his farmans. If we are to live with the ethics of Islam and separate church and state, then what happens when a decision made by the state is against the church? How do you manage to keep a balance of your din and duniya? It's impo...

I am writing as an Ismaili who happens to be gay. I can tell you it is not a choice nor is it a lust. Why would we endure all the ridicules and hostily towards us if we made this a choice? Some of the prominent scientists, artist and philosophers of the past were gays. There are many wonderful men ...

I would think a politician's vote should not reflect on his or her religious views. There should be a separation of church and power . I would beg to differ here. Simply because Islam is not like Christianity where church and state are separated. We are to live within the ethics of Islam and with o...

Please excuse me for being a bit blunt, but I believe: Gay marriages and being gay is wrong - Period. I personally feel if God wanted people to be gay, it would have been maybe Adam and Steve, not Adam and Eve. It's fairly simple. Not to mention two gay people cannot reproduce, whether they are both...

If not, try asking the Mukhi of your jamatkhana, and he will request information from the Tariqa board or council. The JK there is not the new one, it's simply in a small buil...

About Bohras, I ws in Cairo recently and went to visit the Mowlana al-Hakim MOsque . It is now under the control of Bohras from India who have renovated it. At 6 pm, lots of Bohras [men and women] came in white dress, it was a special feeling to listen to all those people speaking Gujrati in Cairo....

Ahmadiyya's and Bahai's - Who are they?
I recently met someone who said he was a "Muslim" and from the "Ahmadiyya" sect. He also said they had their "Khalifa" who calls himself the "second manifestation of God" visit Vancouver (or will be visiting, I cannot remember now). I did a little bit of diggi...

Bohra or Druze Mosque in Vancouver?
YAM,
Out of curiousity, does anyone know if there are any Bohra (Vohra) or Druze mosques in Vancouver?... I would assume these two are the ones closest to us Ismailis and would be curious to know how they practice in their mosque or whatever they might call it.
Thanks!

Noah's Arc and the remains that mention Muhammed
I am looking for someone to shed light on the remains of Noah's Arc that were found with the name of the Holy Prophet Muhammed on them. I believe there were some other names as well... I am told that these remains are kept in a museum somewhere... Any information would be great.

Hazar Imam's hand actions during deedar
As someone else mentioned on this forum (in another thread, but without a reply). During deedar one should notice that Hazar Imam's either left or right hand is alway bent at the elbow and and kept forward around his waist line. This is indeed an interesting observation and I was wondering if anyone...
