Admin bhai or behenAgain to come back to the title of this thread, a God sent icon_wink.gif quote :
The Imam must direct Ismailis on the practice of their religion and constantly interpret the Qur'an for them according to our theology. On the spiritual plane, the Imam's authority is absolute. Ismailis believe therefore that what the Imam says is the only true interpretation possible. [Interview] March 1975
-- Aga Khan IV
Do we pick and choose the interviews/ firman of MHI because when somebody else posts it on here to prove his/her point [Like for example Imam e zaman using the word "insha allah/ Assalaamalaikum"] most of em say look bappa was sitting in the middle of shariati audience and so he has to use those terms.
