What is the difference between the Kalimah of our old Dua, wherein we used to recite 'Ali sahi Allah', and of the new Dua which recites "Aliyyullah"? We used to say Ali is truly Allah and now we say Ali is from Allah, but I have found out through people who know the Arabic language and the...

We as Ismailis do lots of physical stuff as well, as mentioned earlier like Dua, Dasoond etc. Dasoond is material for us and for MHI but its a part of our religion. I have just started reading the Quran and I have...

Please I think we are missing a very important point here. Christainity, Judaism, Islam are all God sent religions. Quran, Bible etc are all Divine scriptures. However Hinduism was not a religion sent by God, nor was Geeta a Divine scripture. <BR>We have to be very clear o&shy;n this. That is wh...

Ginans

:( Why do we give more importance to the Ginan&#39;s than the Quran. Quran is the word of God, shouldnt we be reciting Quran in JK instead of Ginans
