Samir Noorali, Sir, you write well but you write a lot on different topics all under one thread. May I ask you a simple question without being all over the multiple issues raised in this thread? Why do you think Imam's divinity is not being taught in the contemporary times and why do you think it is...

Even the name of Lut Nabi's Kaum also quoted, and we all know thatthey were homosexual and lesbian. I don't like to change the context of thread but at least try to educate yourself before you spread repeated and biased information. As an ismaili (if you are an Ismaili), you owe it to be better edu...

The discussion has apparently diverted from it's original topic. The change in farman occurs all the time, mostly intentional to match the context (we're people of Time if anyone forgot). The SMS farman on Chandrat is never read in entirety, I think people have the edited version memorized by now, m...

The article quoted is for the purpose to stop people circulating anti ismaili pamphlets etc... unless you consider Farmans to be anti-Ismaili. Admin, you are correct. You are probably treating this clause based on assumptions that it was created mostly to safeguard against people like Akbarali Mehr...

Here is the relevant clause from the constitution which IMHO was referenced by the council: http://www.ismaili.net/Source/extra1.html (c) without the permission in writing of the National Council obtained through the Regional Council within whose jurisdiction he resides, prints, publishes, or circul...

See if reading Thich Nhat Hanh's The Miracle of Mindfulness helps. It is a small book and an easy read.

Hi, just curious.

I noticed ismaili.com used to belong to heritage society not too long ago, but now it is routing to the official theismaili portal. What's the story?

I am sinful is also another (similar) meaning/translation

Yaali Madad, where does this word originate from? Thanks.

If yes, then you're looking at little difficulty living near JK and working at Cook County hospital as they are n...

There is no question about hiding ones deen. The Imams would not establish high profile JKs if we were meant to hide our faith. This is not a black and white issue and whatever helps in giving perspective to the issue may be quoted. YAM Kmaherali, regardless of high profile JKs, non-ismailis still ...

I'm still not sure how Noor and Allah are the same (since you clarified your position that Noor = Allah). I can understand that this Noor "encompasses everything and contained in everything" and "possessed all the imaginable and unimaginable attributes that can be attributed to God&qu...
