Well my mr. mahrifati friend, like I said once earlier, discussion with you and the mindset you have will lead no where and totally fruitless. You neither listen nor can convince.
According to you someone reaches mahrifat as soon as he says ali=allah, even if they don't know what they are talking about and why and everyone else who says otherwise, is according to you sucker/kafiroon/low-level shariati/barking dogs/etc../etc....
I have never come across anyone who is a mahrifati and yet accuse others of such shameful labels!!! If someone truly reaches mahrifat, then every word of him is truth and nothing but truth. I don't see any word of you as truth!!! I see confusion, arrogance and ignorance in your words with very little to no personality!!! I really wish we had this conversation face to face in person, I could articulate 10 times better and more efficient!
You have trouble understanding what I have posted multiple times now, you have trouble expressing what you say. In another thread, you very clearly revealed that you still holding to your hindu thoughts which is still near and dear to you and keep it close to your chest like 'shariati candle' is what you call. i.e. shankar is ali... or krishna is ali or something like that...
But here's good news my friend! In soul searching, everyone is on their own. Let's gracefully differ and avoid quarrel. You have trouble backing up what you claim, is what makes your argument basless and unreliable!!! You accuse me of copy/paste, please go ahead and do the copy paste if it's within the context and you fully understand it!!! And for the record, your little story of half empty and half full is nothing new by the way.
Again, let me answer your question, and I believe you are confused.
Imams are not equal to Allah. They are Hujjat of Allah on earth. They are manifestation of Allah or Mazhar of Allah.
Please do your due diligence on the word Mazhar. You seem to think your intelligent, right?
One of the first pillar of Ismailie is TAWHID!!! Please mr. mahrifati, do enlighten us what is TAWHID according to you?
I don't know, i just have a feeling that you were up all night, last night reading my (and others) comments here.
I don't know who should worry about losing sleep now
Admin can confirm this by looking at logs and stuff; I am sure he can do that.
