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 the past. But never in the history our imams or Imamat institution said that Ali is Allah. That is so wrong. The link is full of false claims
Let me give you my experience, I was visiting France, so decided to visit Imam's office. I had no appointment with him, but hoping to see a glimpse of him. I knew someone inside. So I went in.
I was taking the tour of the building and Imam came in his car. He was driving the car. He parked the car, came out of the car, with some files in his hands, he opened the back door and took some more files in his other hand. Both of his hands were full of files. He used his legs to close the door. I was very happy to see him.
But inside me, I was still hoping to see him more closely. At his office when I entered cafeteria, I was saw him standing in a line for his tern to get some food. There were some employees ahead of him, there were some after him. I went and stand in the que too. I was very happy. He was talking to some other guy.
After taking food, Aga Khan and the other person took a table in cafeteria and started eating. I saw him cleaning the table and putting his plates back to cleaning bin.
Now here is my question to you - If he had any supernatural power, why would he struggle to hold those files and close his car's doors. If he had any supernatural power, does he has to stand in a line to get food and clean his own plates. For us he is Imam of the time, sitting in the place of Ali.
The are two kind of people who will say Ali-Allah - One are those who became victim of extremist propaganda against ismailis and other are those extremists who do this fake propaganda. People who are making up these stories are doing shirk by forcing these things on ismailis and equating Ali with Allah.
