YAM Amin, the question I was asking you, Can you become Amin? and why? Anyone else who cares to answer, would be appreciated. YAM Shams Shams, not sure if I'm picking up your questioning accurately, but here's my 2 bits: Amin cannot "become" Amin as he is already Amin. It is the knowledge...

In my humble opinion, 1. Ismaili Ginans are sacred. So much so that I heard from someone (may have been one of the really good Al-Waez) that even MHI listens to them (at low volume levels) while He goes about doing His work in His office. 2. Ismaili Ginans are sacred because they were entirely compo...

It's not worth it talking to anyone about it..since according tothem i am east african and less of an ismaili and less knowledgable than they are in matters of the faith. ShamsB I can certainly say the issue is not specifically with or toward African Ismailis. It is on a different level and covers ...

Thank you gentlemen for your wonderful thoughts

Ya Ali Madad I was wondering if anyone has researched or well familiarized themselves with philosophy and meaning of Saloko Naano Granth (Satgur Kahere) by Pir Sadardeen. To get this post started, I am particularly interested in part 8: satgur kahere prem bhagatee to radeh vase ane antar leh lagaay ...

or i am quoting the holy quran here..this is in the quran because i researched it for an alwaez who claimed that reincarnation was a hindu concept and MSMS and MHI made farmans to placate some people... Sura Baqarah [2.28] How do you deny Allah and you were dead and He gave you life? Again He will ...

How 'bout it Dr. Shamsu? Would you kindly share the Farman book with me? My last email out to you must not have reached you.

Thanks

<P>Im a proud ismaili. However, when a lot of non-ismailis ask me questions about our faith/beliefs/etc...I have not been able to give them a clear answer...is it okie to direct them to this website ??? or is it solely for us&nbsp;ismailis?</P> YAM From what I've read in other forums, according...

This is what I remember from hearing it Gur Gat Jamat ke haizinda It appears we are addressing Gur (Pir) and Gat Jamat (All present Ismailies) that (Shah) is alive and present. Qayam Paya to me means He is ours for eternity. Another way to look at it--Qayam is one of the names of Allah. So it could...

Once Gandhi Came in Jamat Khana and ismailis were drinking Niyaz. Gandhi asked Mukhi can I drink it? Missionary stopped it and said it is only for those who have made bayyat to Imam.You can not drink it. Ginan was being recited at that time sugra ho so bhar bhar pyee nugra jayee pyaassa The one who...

YAM Alinizar, what does aqabat mean in English? Would that be the "hereafter"?

lets take alcoholism it is genetic but if the person never ever tastes alcohol will there ever be a problem? similarly most genetically decided issues can been seen with the eye of obedience to the farmans of the Imame Zaman Shams Interesting point Shamsu. What happens to those who are born in a fa...

This is Imam SMS's experience. Not mine. I recommend everyone to read this particular page of "Memoirs" - page 307.

Well, in that case, may Mawla Bless you with continued development of Inner knowledge and the desire to continue to share with others.

Thanks for the clarification.

Thanks for the reference Shams. Where does one get this book from? Is it in English (I hope)?

So, Mr. "ex-missionary", are you somewhere from Dallas?

In recent years, since the end of the Second World War, I have had a great deal of illness-enough, I suppose, in its content as in its prolongation in time, to have depressed me. I have undergone three major internal operations, two of them with what is ordinarily considered a fifty-fifty chance of...

Dear Shamsu, please define Afzal.

Yes I said AT LEAST at Haqiqati level to allow for the ambiguity because of his dual role as Shah and Peer. Therefore Haqiqati level is the minimum level of his existence and offcourse he could also be "He who is above all else" at the highest. When a momin reaches the Haqiqati level he i...

Do you know that basic things like concept of Niyaz,hai zinda,sukreet are taught in HRE level. YAM All, What is HRE? Here, I'd like to present my humble opinion. It is, of course, open for discussion. I believe there is a farman of MHI, when He's reflecting on the future of the youth in our Jamat, ...

The difference between a momin and the Imam is that the momin needs Ibaadat for the elevation of his soul. The Imam is always at least at Haqiqati level. He does not need Ibaadat. He guides others to Haqiqati level. In this respect His presence will always be needed. When a momin becomes Haqiqati t...

Dear Nargis, The farman you are talking about is the famous Farman about Jismani rasto (physical path) and the ruhani rasto (spiritual path) and then there is the bhedsaed walo rasto (mixed up path). If I can make the time I may translate it for you but only if ADMIN allows me to on this forum othe...

soul actually refers to nafs or the conscience. The conscience of man exists in 3 states nafs-e-amara = animal desire nafs-e-lavama= guiding conscience nafs-e-mutmaina=a peaceful conscience. The way I came up with nafs is that in the Quran the word nafs occurs multiple times and its english transla...

YAM K, If we are going to embark upon this futile mission let me say a few things. In moti venti and BrahmPrakash it is mentioned aap mit nij aap samay in another ginan it is mentioned sarita saher ma samani OK Another Ginan states Yeh to maati ke putle, jisae mai japau jaap.

To become one with noor of Allah... When were you ever seperated from the noor of Allah in the first place? Ginans say "Noor ae rachiyo sansar" The breath you take-----was it not created from the Noor of Allah. So can it be any different from Allah. Whatever we can experience through our ...

Shams

Isn't Imammat's Noor the very same Aly's Noor? If so, then Imam's Noor is Bol (as well as Farman), such as Aly's Noor is Bol (and Farman).
