Just to give you some examples: In Huston there are 4 or 5 JKs the Dua times are spaced at 30min. That last one is at 8:00pm. In Columbus, Ohio the JK is only on Fridays and it starts when people get there sometimes as late at 8:30p. In Minneapolis it starts at 8:00p on Fridays and full moon nights and big days. In Chicago I attend the JK is only on Fridays and Big days. In Karachi, the JK times change to the sunsets every month by 5 min it changes up or down.

He is Muslim, right?
I said in my post that there could be potential conflict. In this case it does not appear to be.

To the rest of the world he is a Muslim. To us he is our Imam and we do not consider him to be bound by Sharia. As Tusi says in his Persian literature, he is the Perfect Teacher and does not need to purify himself.

That does not imply that I pretend to know everything. It could simply mean that I take more interest than others in the Forums.

The recent farman that tells the Jamet of the "Western World" that He (the Imam) knows that people can not at many times say their prayers; He asks us to remember words Al-Ahah, Ali ... (I had to summarize) I have the entire farman on tap (in his voice) at home. As I had mentioned here before I work for congressman and my work requires me to be in DC as a second home. And also just to put it logically that everyone can understand:
My Job=$$$
$$$ x .125 = Dasond
$$$ - $ = AKF Partnership walk, Annual Jameti Fund, JK Fund, FOCUS Humanitarian, and on and on.
Me not going to DC = NO $$$
If for reasons of work, it is excusable but for any others it may not be.

Lets end here this discussion. It looks to me that this is going nowhere.

Please let the people Hazar Imam wants to see there go there for physical Didar or Spiritual Didar and let us [the others] go to Jamatkhana to see him.

And let us hope people who go there will enjoy and people who go to Jamatkhana will also enjoy ;-)

Kmaherali's postings of average one message per day is well appreciated by many of the subscribers. Let us keep the discussion on merits, not on stats.

All people who can give time or knowledge or even just start discussions and debate and thinking are welcomed, even those who get angry from time to time. It is good to see people debating issues and taking interest once again in sharing their thoughts or knowledge. Not everything posted here will be true or false but each posting may have its own merit.
