Laylat al-Qadr

Salam and Ya Ali Madad brothers and sisters.

I have an important question. Why do we celebrate Laylat al-Qadr on the 23rd of Ramadan while the Ummah celebrates it on the 27th? What is the correct date so that we may be sure of it?

Revelation, with its varying names is, ultimately, above reason. All the great one's - may God bless them all, that have undertaken the path to Ultimate Reality, have arrived at this conclusion. And, more importantly, the rightfull Imams - may their names be hallowed, have stated so aswell.

Salam brothers and sisters, I have encountered a question that i wish to ask, in hopes of finding solace in its answer.

Does this mean that the ...

Ya Ali Madad,

I think it would be more meaningful for future reference if you wrote "Question about Purdah" rather than "Question..". We could end up with several topics with "Question..".

I have a question. At the time of Mowlana Jafar Al-Sadiq (AS) did the shia community believe Imam Hasan or Imam Hussein was the second Imam? Who was the second Imam during that time?

So if they are both equal towards God what is the role that each has been commissioned for?
If the concept of of Hazrat Mohammed and Hazrat Ali is equal, this means that Ismaili’s faith is based on Trinity! Is this correct? If not, what is the difference?

Muhammad's (PBUH) mission was to deliver ...
