Given modern distractions, the need to understand Islam better has never been more urgent. Through this forum we can share ideas and hopefully promote the true spirit of Islam which calls for peace, justice, tolerance, inclusiveness and diversity.

Qiyam<p>there is one problem with your hypothesis and that is.....<p>oh yeah, YOU DONT HAVE AN IMAM!<p>Therefore you will never be capable of understanding the Quran and doctrines and proof of that is you taken the impotent Dai and the age old kitabs are replacements to the Imam.

Dear Nizari,<br>I didn't make an hypothesis. The Dais have always been the distributors of the Imams teaching..since the Prophet's days. And so the Dai al'Mutlaq distribute the teachings of Alai Muhammad.<p>Hafeez proposed the statement "the KITABS are superior to the Imams"<br>--I refuted this. But the Imam also authored and authorized many books of teachings to be taught by his Dais. The Imam has gone in to ghaybat so the right of leading the community is on the Dai al'mutlaq. This is what was done by the Imam Ismail until Imam Mahdi...the Dais directed the community until the Imam come out from ghaybat. But the teaching hasn't changed because Islam is eternal (not changed eternally) because the knowledge of Allah is eternal (not eternally changing).
