Brother Binom,

For quite some time I have noticed that you have been going in circles very angry, (and short of beign abusive), you have been criticizing Ismaili doctrines and in particular our Most Beloved Imam in a very offensive manner. It reminds me of Umrao the Kafir who had challenged the ...

Access is the most important element in this struggle, in that people don’t have access to the material. For many years there has been a difficulty in obtaining Farmans of the Imam…..

Brother SamirNoorali,

I believe you should support your ...

Brother Znanwalla, Shiraz virani,

Why don't you ask this same question or make the same statement here... so we can help you enjoy the "saga" ....why boast in front of those whose Imams are hidden for 1100 plus years...ask us or don't make statements about us elsewhere where we aren't there to ...

Binom says: There needs to be an authoritative basis for it, but that authority need not be your imam.


It may “need not be” for you. For Ismailis it is THE IMAM . If you believe that there is another authoritative basis, please name it.

Binom:

: In the case of the first question, I asked you ...

Brother Shiraz Virani, Thank you for providing the link.

In Sura II Allah S.W.T. says “God has set a seal on their hearts and on their hearing and on their eyes, is a veil; Great is the penalty they incur.”

The link you provided is going to make no difference to the people to whom Allah S.W.T ...
