I have one thing to say, I understand quoting the Speeches of Mowlana Hazar Imam but how can you as an Ismaili, who has given bayyah to the Imam of the time, go around and quote his farmans online, I am speaking in particular about Yaahoo or w/e the screen name is. If you dont have the brains to kno...

Questioning

My friend was telling me that it is okay to question the Farmans of the Imam as long as it is in a constructive manner. However, my belief is that the Imam of the time, is the Akl-E-Kul, the u...

Mowlana Sultan Muhammad Sha has said that "We Imams do not come in the dreams of anyone, but if We do then you should not speak of it." Why, I do not know and frankly do not care why. I definatly belive that there is a significance behind seeing the Imam in your dreams and there is always ...

Personally speaking, I believe that humans can become angels. I would quote a farman of Mowlana Sultan Muhammad Sha but not on an open forum like this. But personally speaking I dont see why I cant become an angel or matter of fact why I cant be greater than an angel

I dont think that it would make any difference but you should however say it loud enough for etleast one member of the jamat to respond to you, say perhaps loud enough for the voulenteer standing by the door.

Wearing a Hijab or Burkah is NOT an Islamic tradition. It was started by the Arabs because of the severe sand storms in Arabia.
