Before I give my two line answer to conference resolutions.
Ther are few points to be noted very carefully as I reach my POV only after 360 degrees evaluation of the matter.( I do that in my consultancy sevices for the masterminds in their domain.)
the year 1975 was when petro dollar was ruling the order of day.A rich sharaiti country had very strong influence on poor muslim countries.
It was the time few years before siver jubilee year.
During this all the blue prints,Plan and permissions for various AKDN
institution and IIS were to be set up in next 5 -10 years.
80% of then Islamic disregard MHI and his actvities.
39 years hence over 75% of Islamic countries extend invitation to MHI to visit with honour.
In these Years very important plan of AKU university for finer permissions were getting tough to get autonomous status of AKU and diplomatic status AKF set up in Pakistan. and also to set up AKF network in Bangladesh. was being pursued. One country played meddling role against the Imamat.
Our leader were face with embarrassing questions out of our Ginan books
of Tariqa board which was available in public domain ( farmans were not available in public domain) to answer to Shariati official on Ismaili's conviction of MHI in verbatim.
The words precisely used in resolution 'to be Taught'
and NOT to be fully implemented in our dua tasbih and absolute belief etc.
The resolutionpassed was to satisfy n impress upon the outsiders nosing into out trariqa.( a peanut strategy).
IT WAS TO BECOME A PAGE ( MAY BE in DEEP FREEZE BY NOW) in teaching material for primary level students. and Nothing more.
after that all teaching material has been taken over by IIS,who diluted further in affair of 'religious matters'.
Material of board from academic sense is much inferior to Ginan n Qasidas
of the sufi sagas of our faith.
Imam has used the word Faith,where his say is Final. there are other two words "Religious Matter" where 'Tariqa Board' and IIS smart cookies input and recommendations has a role in approvals sought by Them.
( i.e.for distributing Zura in mandi Majlis,etc) many petty issues relating
to traditions and Not the Tariqa.
This was one such lowl level tactical approval to portray MHI to those who hated Imamat from the word GO.
There are 3 type of Approvals observed first desired approval,tactical approval and aproval sought by Force n pressure.
If Jamat seek approval of' Time n knowledge' in golden Jubilee period.
It was a 'desired approval".
If Admin approves posting of an Imam Hater Shariati endlessly assuming
that Shariati may be an ex Tariqati and may come back to the fold again.
Admin approval is a Tactical one here.
for forced approval I have explained before
An extract of Ginan of pure haqiqat level taught in our religious schools
during 1975 period.An extract from one of it
" EJI AAL ALI ISLAMSHAH RAJA
ALLAH EHI IMAM."
This printed material in public domain annoyed Sharait'is where permission was being sought.
It was tough to defend our explain this Ginan to non Ismails by the leaders
hence a conference n resolution to distract the outsiders to the resolution.
THERE WAS NO FARMAN BY MHI THEN TO ABSOLUTELY FOLLOW THAT resolution.
AS THEIR FAITH BUT UNDERSTAND GINAN N FOLLOW FARMAN WAS THERE.
IT DID NOT CHANGE ANY PART OF R DUA N TASBIH.
As I had explained the religious material of Pir ,Dai (noor) and low level academic material is like starters in a part of lavish meal spread.
here the leader as a part of religious matter added one a starter dish of 'PEANUT' along with dry fruits starters of the dai and Indian rich n tasty starters of the Pirs.
This I would call a page added in long frozen paper in syllabus to be 'TAUGHT' at Tariqat level.
Human do not go gaga over peanuts only monkies do.
When we go for picnic/outing in open area where monkies tries to snatch the food kept in open oof all.
peanuts are carried along to feed the monkies so that THEY DONOT SNOOP INTO LAVISH MEAL SPREAD n spoil it.
Only a fool a would go mad over peanuts over n above the 10 better starters available and Valid n still fresh as on today.
As for me I would to remind the story of Nuseri as siad by out Imam
personally.
he was ordered by H Ali personally who was with his Asabs
to sat that He (ALI) was not Allah not once but 70 times of killing and raising him to Life.
He DISOBEYED the Farman/order of H.Ali at Tariqat level and kept saying
to H.Ali that 'You are Allah'
An inside story .The same Nuseri was inspired By none other than ALI
at Noorani Level to say n express his conviction.
HE OBEYED TO NOOR DIRECTING WITHIN HIM and DISOBEYED the same
entity at Tariqat level.
Rest is history.
For me It would be same id ALI ask to say that "He is Mazhar of Allah"
I would disobey at Tariqat level and say that Ali+lah=Allah and much greater than Allah.I will spell out my conviction nothing less
Then come what may be in store for me.
Can anybody guess my two liner answer to the resolution?.
well, I am really not interested in your long-wended, beating around bush answer, really.
It's a very simple question I asked you. You aparantly see something very seriously wrong with these concepts! So, why are you so shy to tell us what's wrong? The only possible explanation, I could think of, is that you really don't understand what does it say.
Concept of God
Concept of Imamthe concept of God in the Ismaili Tariqah should be taught with emphasis on the absolute transcendence of God aligned with Surah Ikhlas of the Qur'an. As such, God is not a *person* or a *personal being* in Ismaili thought.
In the history of Isma'ili thought, the Personal aspect of God [known as the Divine Names and Attributes] were seen as belonging not to God's Essence but to a secondary level of reality i.e. Universal Intellect [Nur of Imamat].
