Now Valani which one of us is correct, maybe we both are. That is one of the positive aspects of Ismailism, in the same space we both have different interpretation of the same verse.

Valani in Ismailism, it is my belief that the Imam has the Quran, and therefore spiritually is the Quran. The book it self as compiled in the 7th century is static and will remain that way for the foreseeable future. I doubt that book ...

Fayyaz006 :

1) Is this not true that Imam is considered the true interpreter of Quran (faith in your case)? But you are talking about diversity of interpretation, does that mean that every Ismaili has the ‘right’ to interpret the faith according to his/her own intellect? Does the interpretation ...

Dear All

From what I have read from all of you (principally following Ismaili beliefs) is that many of you differ from each others on basic issues that pertain to the faith (Imaan) is that true?

If this is so, don't you think a need to have a clear statement from the guide the Imam himself on all ...

Thank you for your reply Tret!

I feel all the questions I have asked are somehow interrelated and unless they all are ...

Thank you Kmaherali for your reply and useful link!

I appreciate your immediate response and have read the whole article you have provided link off. The article is a nice one and deals with a whole lot of things quite nicely, but am afraid it dealt with only one of my questions and that too ...

I have joined this forum after a pretty long time!

I feel i am again interested in learning and sharing my own learning. BTW the more I tried to learn, the more I realized that i do not know anything, as Allah SWT has said in glorious Quran Allah knows - you don’t know.

Here i pose a few questions ...

I know i am deviating from the subject, but feel perhaps this is the forum where I should seek clarification/ guidance.

My question is mainly o­n "kmeheraly" statement somewhere in this threat regarding "U lil Amr i Minkum" . The popular translation of this phrase is "Those who are charged with ...

<P>I have been following this threat and appreciate the amount of information provided by both the parties. I agree with those who said that the difference is all about interpretation of various verses of Quran. My heart however feels comfortable with that Quran can not be tempered with as Allah has ...
