meaning of our 49 imams?

Post by Ladha111 »

Where can i find what each of the names of our 49 Imams mean?

I already know the history, but what about the actual names of the Imams such as:

Mawlana Zaynul Abideen, Malwana Muhammadinil Baqir, etc.

Where can i find the definition of the Arabic names?

Thanks.

Ya Ali Madad,

Most of the names of the Imams are really titles or laqab. You will find this information if you read the Ismaili History section which can be accessed in this website through the link mentioned in the site map at the left of this window.

At the beginning of each Imam's history there is information about the Imam's actual names and their titles.
