Hi Alam, Quran speaks very broadly about the places of worship. There is a famous hadith of prophet where he said - “the whole world is a Masjid” “(This light is found) in houses which Allah has allowed to be raised so that His name is remembered there, where He is glorified in the mornings and in t...

For Muslims in general and Shia Ismailis in particular, reason plays very important role in understanding religion. They do not go against each other. While you can understand religion through reason, you can't do the same thing with Allah. It is tough to understand Allah by logic because Allah is a...

Ignorance is bliss with Al Ignore aka I Rizwan Aga Khan did NOT take community properties like STS did. yaa moron you are correct agha khan was born with all those properties which he posses today, all those yacht and private plans descendent from sky..... you are a jhahil and it has been proved nu...

Yes, leadership is not a sole right of Imam. Jews and Koreans in US do not have any imam, but they do very well. Much better than any Muslim communities. A "healthy" competition between communities is always helpful for everyone. Ismail community is currently going through a lot of challenges which ...

zinger, I appreciate your concern. Thank you for those words of wisdom. We Muslims want to judge each other, but the true judge is Allah and he will not ignore a single righteous deed. Muchas Gracias “Shall I then seek a Judge other than Allah? And He it is Who has revealed to you the Book (which is...

Br Zinger ASAK Just look at this thread. Out of 16 posts one is by Araz, one by me, 2 by SBM one by you and rest by 3 Ismaili enforcers. There is no Ismaili Bashi here. When they KA or Javed insists that you are Muslim just by Shahada and rest can be different as per their Imam's interpretation, SB...

Belief that Quran is altered and has 10 more chapters and they are with their MHI. This is 0.00001% of ismailis. I don't think we can ever be able to fix them. Aga Khan is very clear on this, that Quran was not altered. Numerous times Aga Khan said that Quran is word of God. And when in Quran God s...

I have in no way demeaned Agha Khanis what I am saying that still a great majority of Agha Khani community does not consider praying 5 times a day-Fasting during month of Ramadan and going for Hajj as the requirements to be Muslim May be it is happening but it seems very very slow in coming. While ...

Dear KA786110 and JavedhJuma, I think you missed a good catch that anajmi made about araz5253. araz5253 is not what he is acting like. He wants all of us to believe that he is some ISIS super extremist belonging to Sunni interpretation. In real he is a regular Bohra (check out his other id Topiwala)...

Topiwala Bro Surat Al-Baqarah (2:217): - "... Fitnah is greater than killing" If you prove ismailis are worse than Bohras, how does that help you. Or do you want all Muslim sects to fight with each other and somehow bohras will get benifit from it? In Pakistan all Muslims are fighting with each othe...

Whoa wait a sec, are topiwala and araz5253 the same person? Ohhh noooo :oops: :? . I missed this. Probably this post came in when I was writing my post. So ignore my previous post. Very interesting Topiwala. Topiwala can you please give us more insight on what would you get by doing this? What you ...

araz5253 Bro- Sometime you want Insaf to become progressive Dai, sometimes you believe body doubles of Burhanuddin, sometimes you believe that only true Muslims are the criminals and terrorists, the violence is the way to Allah. There is a good chance that you have another ID on this form. You feel ...

The above Fatwa is a genuine one and was circulated to all Jafferia Masaajids in USA. It was also sent out to all Sunni Organization (locally where I reside) and because of this Fatwa, Local Jafferia Masjid does not allow any Laanat to any of the Khalifas. Due to this Fatwa a good number of Shias (...

both made a titular mistake a century ago to form another nation The way Pakistan is becoming a barbaric state, it sure looks like a mistake. Why do we Muslims only do good when we are minority. If you look at entire world, most of the Muslims countries are way backward and mostly dealing with viol...

The past is another country, and 1906 is located at a distance of more than a century. In that eventful year, the imam of the small Ismaili Muslim community led the process of forming a political platform for South Asian Muslims at a meeting of the All-India Muhammadan Educational Conference in Dhak...

Salim , you are right but terrorist wiill come out even with double number of proofs rebuking each of your points. eg : this terrorist wahhabi website islamqa says with enough proof that "there is no compulsion in religion" is abrogated: http://www.islamqa.info/en/34770 i got this from here: http:/...

Terrorist killed Ismailis because the goal was to force everyone and make them follow the interpretation of Islam which terrorist believe is correct, so that we become one tribe To those who thinks above, this is what Allah says - 49:13 O mankind! We created you from a single (pair) of a male and a...

Ismailis are not true muslims. Non-mulims and muslims who do not follow true fiqh should be killed, raped and terrorized NO Islamic law forbids aggressive warfare. The Quran says, “ But if the enemies incline towards peace, do you also incline towards peace. And trust in God! For He is the one who ...

Killing Non-true muslims: Even if you believe that you are true Muslims and other are not, and if the motive for terrorism is religious, it is impermissible in Islamic law. It is forbidden to attempt to impose Islam on other people. The Qur’an says, “There is no compulsion in religion. The right wa...

The group of people who were killed in bus were from a particular community among ismailis who were know for being super conservatives. While they were from Indian origins they were not khojas. They are know to cover their heads all the times. They won't let any other men in their homes, in case of ...

Faizullah means Faiz "from" Allah. Here is the meaning http://www.muslimbabynames.net/boy-name-detail.asp?ID=367 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faizullah So according to your definition hundreds and thousands of Sunni Muslims who called them self Ali and their full names are Ali Ullah are really calli...

Salim, Thank you for your input. I agree with you that Aga Khan is just an ordinary human being, with as much 'spiritual' power as you and me. Please educate your brothers in the Aga Khani faith about your experiences. And 'Ali Ullah' does not mean 'Ali is from Allah'. You should ask an Arabic scho...

I believe that any Muslims or non-Muslim who equate Allah with Humans is wrong. This is what ismailis believe too.

Salim, I stand by what I wrote about my cousin. Last year when Aga Khan visited the Jamat. The gathering was for ismailis only. This is how he started his speech, he said "He was told" that there are ismailis from over 20 different countries here. And he said that he could not even remember off the...

Salim, I stand by what I wrote about my cousin. Can you comment on below taken from: Ali Ullah means Ali is from Allah. Now there is a chance that in history there "might"be some Mullah, Pir Or Fakir who would had misinformed people to gain more power. Creating communication gaps was much easy in t...

RAW FOOTPRINT SEEN IN ISMAILI MASSACRE http://www.pakistantoday.com.pk/2015/05/14/national/raw-footprint-seen-in-ismaili-massacre/ Jundullah and Islamic State claim responsibility for dastardly attack in separate statements http://www.pakistantoday.com.pk/2015/05/13/national/45-ismaili-shias-execute...

I have a cousin (a Bohra) who fell in love with an Ismaili boy and married him. She went through rigorous training to convert to Ismailism. I have several Ismail friends, some I grew up with. My cousin surpasses them all in her fanatical devotion to Aga Khan. In fact, she embarrases my Ismaili frie...

Gunmen on motorbikes attacked a bus carrying members of a religious minority in the southern Pakistani city of Karachi on Wednesday, killing 43 people and wounding 19 others, hospital officials said. Six attackers used 9 mm pistols to shoot at the people on the bus, police said. http://www.cnn.com/2...

Overall education and specially western education is anti-abde . If you are abde mindset you would thrive in Saudi Arabia and China. Exception to the rule in case of Bohra Abdes. Dahod and his wife arehighly educated so are many who reside in Seattle and California they are Smart Abdes nonetheless ...
