Has someone kept track of how much the Imam and his institutions have spent in social programs for the betterment of others over the years.
Publishing the conservative estimated amount on an ongoing basis would help the young Ismailies who are skeptical about Money and Dasond issues open their eyes to the reality of the enormity our Imams commitment to philanthropy.
A number on the billions to date will surely be startling.
Total lifetime contribution by Ismaili Immamat in U.S. $
The Bilions Hazar Imam has contributed to Philanthropic projects will be mind boggling.
But those who ask should know that Dasond is at the entire discretion of the Imam. Dasond is not to be used for charity. This is the basic of Ismailism. If Imam wants to throw the money in the river, he is entitled to.
Dasond is already being discussed in a thread. Please continue this discussion there since the matter is linked to how Dasond money may or may not be used....

HOWEVER IF you want to discuss the contribution in various projects without referring to Dasond, it can be discussed in this new thread.
