Ginans

Post by tereishqnachaya »

Do Syrian Ismailis hold the Ginans sacred too? Or do only Khojas follow them?

Ginan is a word that come from Indian langage, it means knowledge and Gnosis.

People who do not have knowledge of the language of Ginans mostly recite Qasidas, some of which are the equivalent of Ginans. For example those written by our Imam Nizar and Mowlana Abd es Salaam.
