For example in the midwest, Dua is said at 7:30pm mon-fri, sat-sun it is at 7pm. Now that Rozas are much longer due to the summer, if we go with the islamic schedule of Ramadan for 2009, our Du'a times and the ifthar times are conflicting! So the burning question is, How can we say dua on time or g...

LIVE TV IS FOR THOSE WHO DONT HAVE LIVE IMAM<BR><BR>V HAVE A LIVE/MANIFEST IMAM :D :wink: I was expecting a response such as this!!! Besides, I'm not talking about Live TV??? I'm talking about an Ismaili TV channel which can broadcast Interviews on Hazar Imam all day (which are accessible worlwide ...

Because they are guiding by a scholar who does not have a degree in their education nor they have knowledge of Marifat, they just grow their beard longer until reach their belly button, read the Quran and then says that they are perfect they don't need to be educated more then that. So is growing a...

There is the Islam Channel, The Noor Channel and various other Islamic channels...But we are supposed to be well ahead and advanced?
So where is the Ismaili TV Channel?

As these questions have always confused us (Fasting etc) and there are different views, then why has the matter not been directed to Hazar Imam by an Alwaez etc - either should we fast? or shouldn't we fast? :roll: . This would clear the whole matter. After all, Imam SMS did state that you all bring...

That's good...I was actually referring to the evening of the main Darbar day UK (as I did not see anyone playing)...but I'm glad that there was Dandiya as you say...as I thought it has been overtaken by all these new dance routines, just like the old Dandiya raas has been outdated (Remember quite a ...

Hazar Imam during his Darbars, has mentioned being with us at the time of Dandiya Raas quite a few times in his Farmans, but unfortunately there was no Dandiya Raas in the UK only Rasraa and some sort of new indian cowboy line dancing...Lets hope the Canadian Jamats take heed

I am confused with first of all the recitation of Salwat. I've seen many people reciting Holy Salwat in different manners. One: Allah Huma Salay Allah..Mohammad-din-Wa-Allay Mohammad. Other: Allah Huma Salay Allah..Mohammad-due(n)-Wa-Allay Mohammad. I always get confused with it. Also pronounce the...

As for standing up/sitting down when doing dua diyo ghatpaath staphanji..the prescribed method is to sit down and recite the dua...however...in the early 60's a rather heavy gentleman was given ghatpat dua varo in Darkhana in Nairobi and he said it standing up..so everyone assumed that this was the...

You forget to mention that it is the farman of the Imam and a pillar of our faith. Thank you brother shamsB - Mowla forgive me. I was actually looking up references from Farmans of Mawlana Hazar Imam and Imam SMS (AS) regarding Du'a. My main point was actually regarding Du'a timings, and I did not ...

I often have people telling me..oh..but MHI has said if you can't recite dua..it is forgiven...and I am like..did you even TRY to SAY your DUA? There's no excuse for not knowing the Du'a, as Du'a cassettes are available for a few Pounds/Dollars if they were really bothered to learn it. I am surpris...

Ya Ali Madad. I live in the UK, and I would like to know that if Jamat Khana if far to get to, then what times should we recite the Du'a (Morning and Evenings) at home. Should this be according to the Jamat Khana that we normally attend? For instance if Du'a is at 7.30pm mon-fri, and 6.30pm Sat &...

You claim to be reading qur'an. It is good. However, you cannot interpret it on your own. You need a Guide to do so for you. That is why, non-Arabic speaking Muslims are told not to attempt to interpret the Qur'an nor to learn its meanings, but to rely on their muftis - and a good job they have don...

However, Ismailis are not the only ones. Try going to other Masjids. They bath on Friday only, because The Prophet said so Otherwise they will run water over their hands, face, feet, etc. This is their Sharia. Our Sharia, as taught by our Imams, is to be clean inside and out, i.e. full bath and cle...

As I was browsing through the various questions/statements through this forum, I have come to the conclusion that we need to indulge more into our faith and gain more knowlegde. Hazar Imam has given us some guidance in Farmans but obviously Imam cannot go into great detail on some issues, but the re...

I have noticed during Funeral Ceremonies that the Shahadat recited continuously during the ceremony consists of the first two lines only, and Aliyyun Amirul Momineen Aliyyullah is not recited, then the Salawaat is recited. Is this because non Ismailis may be present too?

I think its kind of sexist for the authors of this thread to concentrate o&shy;n what women wear and not mention men's attaire. Your in danger of sinking into the real of zahari legalism like the sunni and 12er shia. How can it be sexist...I have mentioned men's clothing in my last post, but I ...

Correction - Hazrat Ali was not physically present at the start of the battle of Khyber - the prophet called upon him after Nade Aliyan was revealed to the prophet and Ali came riding to the Prophet's rescue. Shams Well I understand that anything revealed to our beloved Prophet [PBUH] through Hazra...

I am a little bit lost in my history. Can someone please remind me whose help our Beloved Prophet Muhammed [PBUH] asked during the battle of the fort of Khayber? Thanks Nagib Here is what I know of the event, that our beloved Prophet Muhammad [PBUH] first called upon Abu Bakr to conquer the fort, b...

Why do ladies in the Jamat tend to wear sleeveless tops, tight jeans/trousers, short tops so that it reveals the bare lower back when seated or short skirts in Jamat Khana?. Do they not know that Jamat Khana is a house of worship? Any male members wearing this sort of clothes, that is sleeveless top...

Thank you Virgo2 for your reply. Ya Ali Madad When you say Imam Jafar As-Sadiq (AS) said "Allah is praised through us." I have heard this saying, and this brings me back to my original question as to why we pray directly to Ali and not through our Imam/s to Allah Tala, as in our Daily Du'a...

Thank you Kmaherali for your reply. This I am aware of, that Mawla Murtaza Ali will intercede for us in Paradise, that is if we have Worshipped Allah Tala alone, recognized the Prophet and Imam of the time, been Farman Badari and strived in the cause (in worldly matters) according to Islam. That is ...

I have never heard Hazar Imam or any of the past Imams to say, direct your prayers to me. All our beloved Hazar Imam wants us to do is to worship Allah Tala alone. Hazar Imam always gives the example of the Beloved Prophet (PBUH) in all matters, and always speaks of the history of Imam Husayn and th...

Ya Ali Madad. I would like to know when did the Mushkil Aasan/Giriyazariji Tasbih (after our daily Dua) originate? and why it does not start with Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem?. Also why do we supplicate direct to Ali? when in our daily Dua we say Wa Bi Haqqi (Through our...) or supplicate direct to A...
