"Obey Allah,the Apostle and the Olil Amr" !

Disobedience to the Olil Amr is disobedience to the Prophet and so it is obviously disobedience to Allah too !
Here is the complete translation
004.059 O ye who believe! Obey God, and obey the Apostle, and those charged with authority ...

Brother Insaf

Very interesting posts and very informative also. Islam is a dynamic religion so a true Islamic society should be able to evolve with time. We have to keep one thing in mind no matter where the world is today and wherever it will be in future, an individual is responsible for his ...

Bro Momin

Deal with your own bros first and then we will talk

Think you and others alike are missing the whole point what we, Muslims of the Nizari Ismaili Shia tradition, are trying to explain to you.

Brother Momin

I would like to understand your point, if you believe in gentlemens promise trust me I have got nothing to do whosoever you mentioned in ...

Bro Aareef

They can practice the way they want, but they should not lie or should not filter information. They do not only mislead people outside Ismailies most of the Ismailies do not even know anything about what I have mentioned. If you happen to any Ismaili ask him questions about what I have ...

Brother Africawala
I apologize once again if you do not like my tone, but keep in mind you and pardesi started all this. Secondly I do not have any contact with anybody on this forum, if you guys are thinking that somebody is providing any information its not correct. Brother I grew up with ...

Sir do not get aggravated, if you do not like I will stop asking questions. On my part I do not mean any offence to anybody on this forum. I started asking questions only when you opened up the line and started to volunteer information. The following are some selected verses for

Âshâji pir ...

Brother Africawala

I checked some ginans online, they talk about Hindu gods or they praise Imam and in some cases they attribute Allah’s qualities to Imam. Even if I accept your argument that Prophet Muhammad appointed Imam and he is Ulil Amr ( which is Ulil Amr Minkum), does that mean that an ...

Now why pray to Ali? According to Imam Jafar-As-Sadiq, Allah is prayed through Imams. You cannot go to a King directly can you, you need to go through someone. Allah is the Majesty of the whole world.

Whereas Quran Says

Br Porus

I agree with you. I prefer to call myself Muslim because whatever happened 15 centuries ago is not in my control But if we start calling ourselves Muslims and leave minute differences aside, it will bring everybody on one platform I think it will be our jihad (as in continual effort at ...

I try to refer to Quran and I belive in

1. Shahda
2. Prayers
3. Fasting
4. Zakat
5. Haj

This is my brand of Islam

Br MF

Do you agree we will refer to Quran for references?

Brother Momin

Very interesting challenge, I think we will all be able to learn from each other. I am neither Shia and nor Sunni but I am a Muslim. You are Ismaili because most likely you were born in an Ismaili family and I guess same is the case with MF or Ajami. Our beliefs are different too ...

The question still remained unanswered. I will rephrase my question. Should we call ourselves Muslims or Shia, Sunni, Bohra, Ismaili ?

042.013 “He hath ordained for you that religion which He commended unto Noah, and that which We inspire in thee (Muhammad), and that which We commended unto ...

Regarding halal this and halal that or tithes, they are all human addition to the religion over the period of centuries. That is why Allah has mentioned in Quran several times to recite, read and understand Quran. Our dilemma is we depend on clergy to explain us everything so they speak their ...

Any attempt to control supplies of oil to increase the price is considered hoarding in modern terms. These individuals or companies invest their money to purchase oil for future delivery thereby creating artificial price increase so that they can sell it for higher price.
This is the reason why ...

[QUOE]Another example is today’s oil crisis, how many people suffered around the world just for the benefit of the few. Again if the Islamic principles were applied this crisis would never have occurred.
How could somebody who did not even know how to write, came up with up such a complex yet ...

Our topic was “Why we do not call ourselves Muslims”. Irrespective of our interpretation of Quran if we start calling ourselves Muslims this will bring us together.
003.019 Lo! religion with Allah (is) the Surrender (to His Will and Guidance). Those who (formerly) received the Scripture differed ...

Muslims are a passive lot scared to speak out against killing
Is Islam a religion of peace ? Facts prove otherwise

Are you implying that Muslims are not peace loving or Islam is not a peaceful religion or both.
Anybody belong to any school of thought can call oneself Muslim but do not ...

Why do we call ourselves Sunnis, Shias, Bohras, Ismailis whereas Quran Says

"As for those who divide their religion and break up into sects, thou hast no part in them in the least: their affair is with God: He will in the end tell them the truth of all that they did." 6.159

And

"But people ...

A very Proud Sunni moment INDEED!!

Why do we call ourselves Sunnis, Shias, Bohras, Ismailis whereas Quran Says

Anyone who recites and reads Quran will condemn killing of innocent people no matter which school of thought they belong to.

Quran Says
"If a man kills a believer intentionally, his recompense is Hell, to abide therein (For ever): And the wrath and the curse of God are upon him, and a dreadful ...
