(b)It is complete Quran on daily basis and not parts of Quran. In the beginning it was through live Qa'ri, now a days recording.(/b)

So how much of this quran are you following or applying to your life each day salim?

Full para taken from Ismaili Gnosis The greatest danger to every Muslim citizen – I have not the least hesitation in saying it – is alcohol.

salimkhoja786 I'm not a pacca ismaili but I understand your objection to what maherali bhai said. We are here to learn from each other and not curse and call names.... A simple fact will settle this once and for all. The Imam’s word on the Faith is taken as an absolute rule. Every Ismaili is expecte...

iIthink once you understand that Imam is not a body but Light, the question does not arise. if Imam (Light) can be seen from the window of a house in the south and can also bee see from a window of the house in the East, it does not mean we have 2 Lights, it means the same Light can be seen though ...

tret said : But how many planets do men have come to know with life on it? icon_biggrin.gif It's not about how many planets do we know that support the life system. What's the need of creating billions of lifeless galaxies ??? Humans i.e us are busy fighting among ourselves...so progress cannot happ...

Tret said But, as far as ismaili doctrine and belief is concern [And I guess other religions share some what similar doctrine] the spiritual hierarchy or ranks of The First [Intellect] and the Universal Soul, is not only limited to our solar system, but extends beyond to the entire universe, that in...

So sir if I may ask you, does life exist only on our planet earth ???

There are billions of galaxies and in them billions of stars...so is MHI valid over there or each GOLA [planet] has their own set of imams ???

Listener said : I think I got the gist of what you are saying and it feels like you just spit in my face—disrespectful. To be clear I have not visited a jamatkhana since I am currently rural but I am waiting to hear back from ITREB after submitting a letter of intent. I am not looking for anything b...

A person just randomly comes on this forum and says he wants to become an ismaili 1st and then talks about his dream of how he met a 20 year old MHI and felt like he is about to pass away. Then he calls imam = allah[swt]....can't you guys see whats going on ??? For 9 months this guy aka "LISTEN...

Fayaz said : @ Shiraz I dont know about the nandi tradition per se, but during the prophets time people use to bring food to him as well. It was an expression of love that the prophet will eat a murid's food. However the community needed money more than food, so food was auctioned off. In our cultur...

Dunno about that but I definitely believe in

AZAB E IGNORANCE

I don't like this auctioning process. I personally feel that Instead of selling nandi/ mehmani one can simply give that food to poor and needy and get blessings. In hyderabad since the jamat is huuuuge in number, nandi is done right in the middle of jamatkhana [where we recite our dua] and I persona...
