Maybe brother Admin knows that ZZnoor is really God the Universe playing at not being God the Universe, I am not sure why you guys give that much importance to zznoor. Honestly, I do not see here any "deep conversation" as the thread suggest. As I said a large portion of the posts which a...

Just tell us in brief, what do you know about ismailism and the concept of imamat ?? Not brief but I hope worth the read for you. :D I think I may have come across other than I intended. My only wish was to reflect on the thoughts of others, because with each response I gain a little more wisdom. I...

Being that mental illness is a personal issue it would not be a topic of conversation if indeed MHI suffered from it, unless MHI speaks openly about it. There are other things that should not be talked about, if you can think of them, because it is highly disrespectful and mental illness is no diffe...

Questions for deep conversation

YAM Salam I have a few questions that I hope someone will find interest in talking over with me. Given the nature of these questions it might be best to carry this conversation into private messaging. However, it might also be best to leave it in the open as a source of knowledge and food for though...

As long as MHI"s dreams are concern you have to remember this... After revisiting this forum some nine months later I happen to read this thread just now and I feel so sorry. I said: I guess it's more important to educate me on what shouldn't be done than on guiding me to Allah's religion. Aga...

I guess it's more important to educate me on what shouldn't be done than on guiding me to Allah's religion.

My Dream to Become Ismaili

Hello y'all, I recently had a dream involving MHI. The dream was set in a bright room crowded with people, seemingly on a festive occasion. I noticed a young gentleman standing near the wall and without company, so I approached him. I said, "Can I speak to you outside?," intending the two ...

This is taken from Wikipedia and is pretty simple to understand, at least I hope so—I wrote it. That being said, Ismailis should point out to me any inconsistencies with doctrine, that is to say if any part is wrong. "With respect to their spiritual nature, the Imams are considered to be incarn...

I totally understand what you are saying and I get it. It is not simple and doubt is certainly one of the stages of getting closer to haqiqat[realization], but don't let doubt to divert you from sirat-ul-mustaqim, that's why faith[Iman] is of emmense importantce in matters of faith. The good news i...

Even though I do believe the Ismaili persuasion is a more logical choice than 12'er and all other forms of Shiism, since there is a living imam, I don't feel it's as simple as just using logic when giving allegiance to someone or something. I give allegiance to the Qur`an because it's accessible to ...

Where is the English guidance?

Salam, I am looking for some authoritative works in English by Hazar Imam but I am finding none. I must say I'm not Ismaili although my interests have taken me into exploring the da'wah. I am a practicing Ithna'ashari but I feel the need to investigate the validity of claims made by the Ismaili imam...
