Re: Jesus in India

This is pretty much common knowledge to educated Hindus. My first roommate (MANY years ago) was a Hindu from Guyana. She said there was substantial proof that Jesus had traveled throughout India. This does make sense - if you read the Koran, if Jesus didn't die on the cross, he had to have gone some...

Is there any way you can get rid of this crazy WAKEUP dude in all his e-incarnations? While it's fun answering his silliness, this is supposed to be an Ismaili site. There are gazillion Christian churches and websites out there. It is wrong and illegal to harrass us. I would rather some decent discu...

Re: Why is pork forbidden in Islam?

FYI, when I was a kid we moved to the mid-west USA. Most of the neighbors had 5 acre farms. The neighbors informed us that if I wanted to play on the property across the street where they raised a couple of pigs I would have to get a worm shot every three months.

I am bewildered why Ismailis, when given a special zikr formula that's NOT in the books (at least it's not in any of the zikr books I've read), make light of it, even twist it around, and just keep doing what they were doing before.

Zikr Formula per MHI's recent visit

MHI gave out a Zikr formula during the AM Toronto visit, he modulated it during the other 3 deedars. I was fortunate enough to receive it in an email.

Dasond, tithing, is a BASIC metaphysical concept. The more you give, the more you get. Not just in money, but in time, or anything you give to someone who is in need (whatever the need). This is not religious BS, it's METAPHYSICAL LAW.

Re: First part of Dua

The Imams are the Evidence that Allah has not left us alone to ourselves without His guidance after the revelation of the Qur'an, i.e., the fact that we have the Hazaar Imams to guide us means we have a living, breathing faith.
