I am a college student traveling from the States and I was wondering if anyone knows of any really discounted hotels or if anyone in Paris is willing to share their accomodations or house me? Does anyone know who I should ask?

Ya Ali Madaad and Mubarak to All

Ya Ali Madaad... It was a gr8 day, a day that I shall remember… I was present in the race club n have never seen Hazar Imam so happy in my life.... just can’t tell how delighted I am… nazro sai Hazar Imam ka chera nahi hatta pata nahi how did I came back home… I feel I was never so happy in my life ...

In some darbar, they put portable air-condition units [lots of them] on the stage for the comfort of the Imam.



The comfort of the Imam is the least of my concerns. As far as I am concerned he has the capacity to live in the sun. He is the Sea!

My concern is the comfort of the murids, but if ...

I have had an argument with some of our Ismaili brothers in Jamatkhana about Shame-z-tabiz. They say that Sham-e-tabiz was not an Ismaili but he was only a Sufi Master and at the same time there was 3 shams(Pir Shams, Mowlana Imam Shamudain Mohammad(s.a) and Sham-z-tabiz). I said he ...

would the enemy who killed the Imams be held accountable for his actions then? It could be possible that Imam chose him.
Murder is murder and whoever murders the Imam is accoubtable. However in the case of the Imam, he is so magnaminous that he would forgive the person. I understand Hazarat Ali ...

How many ismailis would like to declare to their friends, fellow employees and business associates that they have secret word (bol) given by their God that will open the gate of heavan?
In general Ismailies are tolerant that’s why no one replies you and wants you to recover!

I do like to discuss ...

Ya Ali Madad Admin. You have heared about Ex-Ismaili missionary Maherali Karamali. He is using your website's source for declaring that there is the mislink between our Imam and this website doesnot contain the history of 20 imam Hadi (a.s). Please check it. It o­nly contains a page about Hasan ...

Ginans are allegorical and can be interpreted in many ways depending upon the intellectual outlook and the prevailing circumstances.

I agree with karim!

At the same time I want to add some points on reincarnation, I feel that reincarnation don’t only mean change in physical form but being in a ...

I really feel sorry to read different point of views regarding bol. Especially in this matter, we should thoroughly study ginans and Farmans regarding bol before giving any comments because it is very series matter and any one can mislead. Off course here our intention is good but that might make ...

Interesting article but does not address the question at hand. What is the significance of a dream involving the Imam? If it is indeed meant as a guidance, then it will be very clear to the individual ...

In some cases a sin may not be sin for example saying lie is generally considered as a sin but suppose if some one wants to kill an innocent person "XYZ" and ask you "Have you seen where XYZ is hiding?" At that time speaking truth will be harmful so much that it can take life of some innocent ...

The World of Dreams

There is no doubt that sleep and dreams are a part of the marvels and wonders of God, most High. You can see this in related verses in the Quran. (78:9; 7:97; 37:102; 8:43; 30:23; 39:42 ...

Ya Ali Madaad,

Thanks shams and karim! Many times people advised me not to talk about dreams but never gave me a reason why shouldn’t I…. I believe when you need something it comes to you, may be this Farman is now important to me that’s why I have got to know the reason…!

I heard Abu Aly Waiz in which he was discussing the sins done without any intention and sins done deliberately. He told of a incident where Imam was taking up a mehmani where a murid came and asked for forgiveness of his sins, Imam replied you're humans and humans do commit sins. He said it again ...

As we have discussed thoroughly the benefits and barkats of reciting Holy Salwat.

Can we sit in bait-ul-khayal bandagi and recite Salwat?

Secondly, There hasn't been much discussion on reciting Ya-Ali.

Just confusion builds up in my mind.
