Ya Ali Madad everyone, I watched part of a documentary on TV that my dad recorded on the DVR, which mentioned the Aga Khan being part of the Illuminati. The documentary is called "Angels and Demons Revealed". It aired on a local channel, but I am sure one can find it online. Would anyone h...

I hear that there was a lecture given in one of the Atlanta JK about saving $$$ and it was said that there will soon be a deflation (maybe even a depression) and we are just starting to see tough times. I dunno but what do you guys think?

I just typed in 2012 prophecy into google and a video of came up (something from history channel) and apparently many religions believe that that date is significant. It is also significant scientifically b/c the Earth will complete its "wobble"--this happens every 26,000 years and also th...

They say that date is going to be the end of the world. I have a feeling that that there might be some changes (as the world is always changing (entropy)), but I wanted to know if that date is mentioned in the Ginans or is there a Ismaili take on this?

Thank you and Happy New Year,

Faisal

I can't find the discussion when I searched for it. I would like to read some discussions after I stopped discussing.

I was talking about the whole book, hopefully I can get my hands on the book soon.

Thnx,

Faisal

Finally read it and it was beautiful. I enjoyed it--do they still sell this book?

Thnx,

Faisal

All my teaching and my guidance for my followers has been in fulfilment of this principle: render unto God the things which are God's and to Caesar those which are Caesar's.


Can someone explain this to me? Why was Caesar mentioned?

Thanks,

I tried my best to explain to them about my religion to the best of my limited knowledge, but thank you for the encouragement.

Hello everyone,

So does anyone here live in Buffalo? I will be moving to Buffalo soon--after the summer.

Right! I even mentioned that Prophet Muhammad was a business man and was married to a business woman.

During the conversation they asked me, "So what does he do?" and I answered that "he breeds horses." Their reply hurt my feelings but I guess it was out of ignorance. They said "How can you believe in such a person? A prophet would not need money to lead people." (I kno...

Oh ok, thank you--appreciate it.

And they would be ginans? or ?

Your thoughts are always appreciated, thank you.
But about the indigo verse. Indigo is not black, its dark purple.

Thank you,

Faisal

Thank you, I was just asking because my suite mates are Bahahi's and the other day we were just discussing religion. They did question something that I had a hard time answering. I told them about Hazir Imam and they said how do u know that he is the one? The only answer I could give was that its Fa...

Can anyone tell me the similarities between the two religion because I know both religions celebrate Navroz.

Thank you,

Faisal

Okay so I am a bit confused about some of these. 28 adhaku(n) kenu(n) veeraa levu(n) naa(n)hee. 28 Do not take excessive profit in anything, o brother. How is this bad, as long as one is humble and not proud? 37 dharatee tannu(n) mul na karie e chhe maataa, 37 Do not price the earth, for it is your ...

I don't think it is bad to get a tattoo. If it is bad then, the ear piercing that women in our culture have is wrong too. I personally don't see why tattoos are bad. Also, as far as fashion goes, it does not necessarily have to be linked with clubbing or alcohol. Fashion is to make oneself look or f...

I don't know if this topic is under the right forum but I just wanted to know if there is a Jamat Khana in Buffalo, New York. I checked the Jamat Khana listing on this website but says that there is a Jamat Khana in Buffalo, but no contact information was there.

Ya Ali Madad everyone,

I have a question--would any of you know about a health program where doctors and/or dentists help out in third world countries through Aga Khan foundation or so???

Thank you,

Faisal

Hello everyone, I try to wake up in the morning, at this point its not going so well since I stay up so late. I told my roommate that I would set an alarm to wake up in the morning to say prayers. He was okay with it, but asked "Why morning and why at that special time (4-5)?" Can someone ...

Thank you so much everyone.

Faisal

I agree Munir, but I would like to have a farman-comparing Ginans and Quran-to prove this to my new friend. There is a really good farman in the Ginan books where Hazir Imam emphasizes the importance of Ginans and thier meanings. But I want a farman comparing Ginan to Quran.

Thanx,

Faisal

Ya Ali Madad Shams,

Is there anyway you can pm me the farman?

Thanks,

Faisal

Ya Ali Madad everyone, I got in an a tiny argument (debate) with someone at dandyia about ginans. The guy was like, we should write our own hymns and say it in Jamat Khana; and I explained to him that we do not have the authority to write such hymns. Then he questioned: "why? Ginans were only u...

I am not sure if the following is true or not, but if it is, then it definitely provokes thought of whether we are alone or not in this huge space. Enjoy!

Pakifellah, I agree with you. This topic may not have started to get ideas about materialistic gifts for the imam, but there are some people who might have (I have not gotten a chance to read all of it) thought of some material things, and I believe that is perfectly fine because it is the thought t...

Hello razinizar, The first two websites are nice, but i must ask you that when you search for articles or any information, make sure these sources are reliable. For example: www.humorgazette.com/clones_1201.htm is NOT a reliable source as you should be able to tell by the name of the website. These ...

To Faisal : As you wrote in your previous messages that you are not against western dresses but you think its inappropriate to wear a short top and tight pants, ghagra choli etc in Jamat Khana Yes, that would be correct ok but head is covered with duppata in Salwar kurta and also there is duppatta ...
