Just review the Austin Airport Video as HE stepped on off of the plain. You'll notice and also pay attention during the Datbar and the finger and thumb movements and HE is reciting something and as [if] HE has a tasbi in HIS hand and giving blessings.

IS READING KORAN IN ENGLISH IS THE SAME AS READING IN ARABIC. AS I DO NOT KNOW HOW TO READ ARABIC I READ THE ENGLISH VERSION. IS IT CORRECT
Perhaps not the same but you have been blessed with your intellect, let it guide you.
Or try Thomas Jefferson's Quran (English publication in 1734) it is ...

Noah`s Ark flood led to European farming
London, Nov 19: An ancient flood some say could be the origin of the story of Noah`s Ark may have helped the spread of agriculture in Europe 8,300 years ago by scattering the continent`s earliest farmers, researchers said on Sunday.

Columbus has a JK???? I know there was an ismaili center which has since been closed for some time.
Tomato Tomaato. *Please no need for explanation. I know.

So is it Skyline or GoldStar for you?

I think you meant Jan 6, 2008. Because yesterday (of Dec 15) would be well past the Dec 6th

ShamsB, Sorry man I couldn't find your email addr. If you like you can email me. (email address removed).

The registration is to begin Jan 6th through mid to late Feb 2008; for late April-May Program.


Sorry I have been busy for last year and a half just blew in to town last night.

Hello, I will be backpacking across Spain and Turkey this summer.

Are there any other Ismailis doing the same?
What is a good place to be on July 11th? Lisbon or London?
Is there an Ismaili hostel for youths visiting Lisbon?

Thanks!
Summer is not the best time to visit Portugal, Spain, Italy or ...

Calgary was named after:

rooh, Since you are talking to your son who is young, you might want to consider reading him the passage right out of Quran and also expose him to the Bible story about Adam too. Yes both books have presented the event in a slightly different manner but the essence (of God is in everyone) is the ...

Ya Ali Maddad,
MHI doesn't need for prayer; Because HE is himself the complete intellect. He has reached to the highest level of the knowledge and certainty.
Once Shams Tabrizi walked in the middle of the sea and ordered Rumi to follow him. And also told him to say" Ya Shams". Rumi followed him and ...

Our text (the books) including Quran talks about God created Adam but does not mention Adam being born. I'll have to look-up the passage(s) and I'll post it for you.

kmaherali, Your post still did not answer the question you keep trying to steer away from the my question. I don't mind if you or anyone else does not have an answer yet and may be someone else might.

So all fluff no answer! As memory serves me correctly in early 1980s there have been few Ismailis who have won the lottery in Canada and that was pointed out to The Imam and I believe the comment was that this is just a beginning, the Jamet has not seen the prosperity that awaits them...And to some ...

Prophet Muhammed would often lead the prayers when he was with his jamat and I'm pretty sure the early Imams did as well.

Why is it that when MHI comes for didar, he doesn't lead the prayers?
I think so far the best answer you have received is from

Imam Aga Ali Shah MaaBaap(SA) as Pir Aga Ali ...
