Unfortunately I am unable to understand the meaning of the ginan. Can anyone provide the title???
Also any info in RE to the bandgi? Most people i have spoken to don't know anything about this.

YAM Everyone
I am researching into the role of Mukhi Kamdia's. The daily ones and Majlis Mukhi Kamadia's. Their role, status, etc. Any information from Firmans, Ginans, books, would be much appreciated.

YAM Shams Yes I agree that one can never tire of hearing Mowla's Firmans. Its amazing how sometimes I will be facing an issue and the Firman read in JK will directly address that. My point actually was on the fact that Firmans have been made to cover all aspects of our life, to guide us, and so many...

A question, why is it that often the same firmans are recited in JK. Once in a while I hear Firman, and I think wow I've never heard that before. Or in Waez's I hear references to different Firmans.

Iman/ Faith are central aspects of our religion. I know there are a lot firmans on the imprortance of protecting your Iman, Im just wondering how do we increase that Iman. Especially when we are surrounded by so many terrible things. Its funny but somethimes it so easy to have faith in small things ...

How true that is. I was in fact thinking about how I first and foremost identify myself as an Ismaili, before anything else. Can u share more on the role of Mukhi/Kamdia's.

Thank u for that comprehensive response. So are angels and spirits (Ruhanis) the same? Are people who pass away angels?
Can u share more about the practice of singing Ashaji before dua.
I know that it is recognized as very powerful and that people read it when they have difficulties...

I understand that the angels are present during Abe-Safa ceremony, but are they not always present in JK's? Do they only enter when we enter? Where are they the rest of the times?

Yes Nagib
That is exactly what I have always heard. Just wondering if anyone knows where this belief stems from, any reference?

No actually after Ghat Phat Uthapan.

I think what really bothered me was the announcement made after HI's visit, that he was unhappy with his murids being present. I wonder if that was really true? If it was then he certainly didn't look unhappy, smiling and waving at his murids. In regards to his visit to UofT, why is it that all the ...

Can anyone explain the difference between Abe Safa and Abe Shifa?
Why do people run to drink the Niaz after the first dua - I was told because the niaz heals ur body - where is that referenced?

Excellent Post - have u read Nooran - Allah-Noor by the same author. The book is amazing and goes into detail about each Avtar.

Thanks to all for answering
Tasbiha what does the prayer mean?
Nagib what a beautiful story...

I guess I am a bit confused and just wanted insight... The ginan says that " whatever U shall ask u shall receive, also there are numerous Firmans where Mowla prays for us for example our well being, aren't his prayers always answered?

<P>Are sincere, good prayers answered?&nbsp; Je Je mangu te tunhi deve? what are your thoughts?</P>
