Thank you .... i feel the exact same way because in my up-bringing, i have been tought that you dont question anything that the Imam does, weather it be his farmans, his jokes, anything.

I have one thing to say, I understand quoting the Speeches of Mowlana Hazar Imam but how can you as an Ismaili, who has given bayyah to the Imam of the time, go around and quote his farmans online, I am speaking in particular about Yaahoo or w/e the screen name is. If you dont have the brains to ...

I was just talking with some friends of mine, and would like to know other peoples opionion on this matter. My friend was telling me that it is okay to question the Farmans of the Imam as long as it is in a constructive manner. However, my belief is that the Imam of the time, is the Akl-E-Kul, the ...

Mowlana Sultan Muhammad Sha has said that "We Imams do not come in the dreams of anyone, but if We do then you should not speak of it."
Why, I do not know and frankly do not care why. I definatly belive that there is a significance behind seeing the Imam in your dreams and there is always a message ...

Personally speaking, I believe that humans can become angels. I would quote a farman of Mowlana Sultan Muhammad Sha but not on an open forum like this. But personally speaking I dont see why I cant become an angel or matter of fact why I cant be greater than an angel

I dont get your question.... can u explain it more plz

I am not saying that.... Allah is in the Quran

I am not saying that.... Allah is in the Quran

I dont think that it would make any difference but you should however say it loud enough for etleast one member of the jamat to respond to you, say perhaps loud enough for the voulenteer standing by the door. However, this is a real issue in some jk's I will not mention which one, but the Jamat ...

Wearing a Hijab or Burkah is NOT an Islamic tradition. It was started by the Arabs because of the severe sand storms in Arabia. So people who were then being converted to Islam thought that whatever the Arabs were doing was Islamic however it was not. So wearing a Hijab has NO religious CONTEXT WHAT ...

You would think that if the Imam was present people would not be doing that. But I was watching a movie of Mowlana Hazar Imam's visit to the USA and whilst ginans and firmans and quranic ayats were being recited they were not seated properly..... now if they dont know how to behave in the PRESENCE ...

Yes it is true, I am not my true self and nobody is until they go into Bandgi. Until that I agree I dont know who I am. But hopefully, I will one day by the grace of Allah be able to understand who I am.

Understand what i am trying to say here... i mean that at what ever spitrual level you are .... you will be no where near Allah... yes you will have become one with Him at a point but you will not be him. So what i am saying is that no matter how much you are elevated, you will not come anywhere ...

Read your ginans

Go back and read the fourm..... i said even if you tried for trillions of years you could NEVER BECOME GOD..... I DIDNT SAY ONE WITH GOD

We are not ALL haquiqati momins.... Ismailis alone are haqiqati momins. Man can NEVER EVER BE GOD. HE CAN BECOME ONE WITH GOD BUT THAT DOES NOT MAKE YOU GOD. There is a difference between noor and soul. Mowlana sultan muhammad sha has explained this well. He says when you see a fire, and you see the ...

Allah did not say that he was closer to us than our jugular vein... Mowlana Sultan Muhammad Sha said this.

there is absolutly no need to say gur gat jamat ke hazinda or jamat ke hazinda..... why must this be a debate? If the Pir's have taught us to say Haizinda than why must ppl come up with new ways of saying something? This is a total lack of ignorance and in my opinion a pitty that we are having ...

The prophet of Allah had said that women should not be aloud to go to the cemetary. Another thing there is no significance in the 10th day.... it is only 40 dayz. Once Mowlana Hazar Imam was asked this question and he said "I dont know the singnificance of 1 day of 3 days or 10 days but 40 days is ...

This is my point. You are saying educating people on this topic is stupidity. Who are you to say that this is stupidity? If you do not know then you would expect that these things would happen. Think about it, when you given audience with the queen they teach you how to behave infront of her, how to ...

How is accumulation of knowlage ignorant? if this is the case then we are all ignorant becuase we are all constantly educating ourselfs. I think that this is a totally wrong way of thinking becuase if this was the case, then why do children go to BUI? to learn about our religion in your eyes is this ...

I think that we should give semenars about this topic. this way everyone wins, the parents and the children

Even if there were so many people at Queens Park and at UFT there is nothing wrong with going to see your Imam. If the Imam were to come to Toronto again I as an individual would go to see him unless he sent a taliqa saying not to come. You can not base your faith on what other people believe. so ...

here is the ayat from the Quran where ALLAH tells us that Jesus was not crusified.

That they said (in boast), "We killed Christ Jesus the son of Mary, the Messenger of Allah.;- but they killed him not, nor crucified him, but so it was made to appear to them, and those who differ therein are full ...

There is abosolutly nothing wrong with what _theillestlunatic_ did. I was at UFT and I acutally know what happened. If you were there my friend then you also would not be making the comments that you are right now. The council gave everyone such a hard time to the point where they made a mother and ...

I dont think that the problem has anything to do with were we as a Jamat live becuase if that was the case then the Imam would not have told the East- Arican Jamat(s) to come and live in Canada or in America. The problem is that now a days, people do not go to Jamat Khane as much and becuase of this ...

It is not just the color black, all dark colors ruin the flow of electricity. Look at the other Muslims who go for Hajj. Why do they wear white? Beucase white is considered to be a sing of purity. So in my opion it would be best if we could keep the colors of our clothes to light colors, and totally ...

The way I see it that if you wear black clothes that doesnt not mean that you dont love your Imam. And this is absoltuly judging people by saying that they are ignorant or by saying that they do not love the Imam. Who are we to say that they do not love the Imam. Everyone commits sins in one way or ...

Just because the Imam is present that does not mean that it is shameful in my opion because if you see the Imam and you decide to change your life style becuase of seeing Him then I dont think that there is anything wrong with them. Another thing I dont think that it is shameful to wear black ...

That is ttue but there is only so much tta you can do with out a bol then. At one time or another in your life time you will need the Bol to progress further for that matter you can progress in Ibadat without a Bol you are right but at one time you will need a Guru (Sha Karim) and a Bol to help you ...
