So what? in Quran there are many names of Kafirs has been mentioned, like Feron, Namrood! does that mean we should not read Quran?
There is a farman of SMS on Hadiths:
It may be possible that not all hadiths are true!! but if you find any hadith which seems it will be beneficiary to you then accept ! ( not exact words ) means if you find any hadith which seems good and acceptable then accept it no matter that hadith is true or fabricated!
There is a hadith of prophet Mohd. If you have to go China ( very far country to reach during prophet's time) for any type of knowledge then you should go there.
To mentioned names of twelvers imams and give references of their good quotation I don't see anything wrong in it, off course I do not accept them as my imam.

Ya Ali Madad:
As for Historian member lesser said about him the better.
As for Bibi Fatima.( a daughter.spouse n mother.)
It is my absolute personal conviction at this phase of 49 Imam one co relate to almost all important phases of Imamat.
With co relating the Ahle Bayt of today and that of H.Ali phase and co imaging it.
I can tell that Bibi fatima was as radiant,charming,gracious and beautiful as Princess Zahra is today.
I believe in the living, the reality.She is a Noorani face and entity aligned n resident of heaven.( Khatoon e jannat ).
I want historians to study the phase of Imam SMS n Hakimbiamrillah.
There are many similarities.

I remember in November 2001 in Aleppo, there was a meeting of Hazar Imam and the Grand Mufti of Aleppo with several dignitaries and Princess Zahra also.
The Grand Mufti made the following remarks: In the same way Bibi Fatima was the symbol and represented all the Muslim women of her time, Princess Zahra is representing in our eyes all the Muslim women of this time.
So yes, while some Muslims are stuck with Bibi Ayesha, we Ismailis are the "diwana" of Bibi Fatima. There is no need to fight over those choices.
Oh yes, since some do not know about the beauty of Bibji Fatima, she was known as al-Zahra, "the Radiant"

Which hadith is not fabricated!? even many Sunny brothers also accepting this fact that many hadiths are not true and must have been altered in latter years same way many ayas are also fabricated in Quran that is why I call Quran as altered and incomplete Quran or it is not in original shape.This is fabricated Hadith ( Wikiislam)
Forget about wikiislam or widipedia these are not trusted information sites, anyone can put their comments in these websites whether it is true or false! use your common scenes to evaluate any hadith. BTW: about that hadith in which Rasoolullah told go to China for any kind knowledge is also found in Suah Sitta Hadith books!
Those who claime Quran is altered have never shown this is ommitted or that is altered. When asked to put up they never put up but some whose Imman in Allah's book is weak , they never shut off. May their lord have mercy on them.agakhani wrote:Which hadith is not fabricated!? even many Sunny brothers also accepting this fact that many hadiths are not true and must have been altered in latter years same way many ayas are also fabricated in Quran that is why I call Quran as altered and incomplete Quran or it is not in original shape.This is fabricated Hadith ( Wikiislam)

As far as Hadith is concerned Shiasm greatly depend on Hadit. So don't pick and choose.
to zznoor,
There is a separate thread on the subject. Please this thread is on Souls, not on changes in the compilation. No compulsion in Religion.
You have nothing but contempt for intellectual discussion. Why? Are we missing something or is it that you are not part of the intellectual tradition which is the trade mark of Ismailism on those particular esoteric subjects?

I am getting confused. In one of your posts you mentioned that you were a Shia. The Shias do regard the Ahl al-Bayt as having extra ordinary capacities. In fact you also mentioned that you considered them as intercessors. Have you changed your mind?zznoor wrote:In realty Islam is not about worshipping or praising human being dead or alive (reffered to as "Tagut" in Quran), Islam is about worshipping Allah as ordained in Quran and shown by Prophet.

According to Ismailism Princess Zahra was shining neclklace radiating light as per verses of the Ginan below:

there were the five pure bodies!

I did not bring up Princess Zehra to start with.

How Bibi Fatima looks a like:
Imam Hasan Askari(a.s.) reported that his father quoted Jabir Ibn Abdullah as saying : ' The Messenger of Allah, Peace be Upon him and his cleansed progeny, said : ' When Allah created Adam and Eve, they strutted through paradise and said : ' Who are better than we ? At that moment they noticed an image of a girl like they had never seen before; from this girl came an illuminating light so bright that it almost blinded the eyes.
They said : ' O Lord, what is this ? ' He answered : ' This is the Image of Fatima(s.a.), the mistress of your women descendants. '
Please quote the name of the book and page #, so that i can verify. Thanks.
You wrote," from this girl came an illuminating light so bright that it almost
blinded the eyes." Sir it blinded your eyes or Baba Adam and Bibi Eve's eyes.
When they were blinded how come they saw the image. You wrote," He answered", He means who?

ZZ Aadaab,
We Ismails respect 3 caliphs and bibi Aysha as per guidance of our previous Imam and present Imam. In fact I have seen many Ismailis have kept their daughters name as Aysha and personally I don't see any wrong with the name.

Don't forget that !not all Ismailis respect them! and specially those Ismailis who have study the history and find out the injustice made by those three caliphs towards H. Ali (s.a.) can not respect them! for your kind information Do you know that one Ismaili imam has also used very harsh words towards them? and that words were..........!!!!We Ismails respect 3 caliphs and bibi Aysha as per guidance of our previous Imam and present Imam. In fact I have seen many Ismailis have kept their daughters name as Aysha and personally I don't see any wrong with the name.
Besides Ismailis there are many Shia, daruze, Twelvers, Zaidiya e.t.c. also doesn't give much respect towards those 3 caliphs. only Sunnies gives them respect.
In Indo-Pak Ismaili jamats the name "Aayesha" is still not given to their daughters, unless they keep one leg in Ismailism and other leg in Sunnism!!! like you!! It is possible that it may be true in your regions but not any where else!

I will love to read those farmans in which (as you wrote above ) that present and previous Imams told us to give respect towards the first 3 caliphs and Aayesha!!! please PM me those farmans.
I do not need references from a Paris conference and Memoirs of Aga Khan I need real farmans which should be directly addressed to the Ismaili Jamats not the general audience!
After you provide these farmans I will post those farmans in which previous Imams told us not to respect them!

With regard to the hadeeth mentioned, “Seek knowledge even if you have to go as far as China, for seeking knowledge is a duty on every Muslim,” Shaykh al-Albaani said in Da’eef al-Jaami’: “(It is) fabricated.” (no. 906).
The proven hadeeth is that which was narrated by Ibn Maajah from the hadeeth of Anas ibn Maalik, who said: “The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: ‘Seeking knowledge is obligatory upon every Muslim.’” (220. Classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh Sunan Ibn Maajah. What is meant by knowledge here is knowledge of sharee’ah (Islamic knowledge). Al-Thawri said: “It is the knowledge for which no person has any excuse for not knowing.”
In my opinion prophet meant all kind of knowledge.

1.) Firstly.I will be an attorney for Kmaherali for his earlier posting( my fees to him will be a cup of coffee.)
In baatin and even interpretation wise.Even ginans are not merely copy paste, they imply us to see Ahle bayt of today holisitically from the descriptions mentioned to visualize today with own eyes what they wrote in the past.
BTW Bibi fatima name was also Zahra. she was the daughter of a person who was ruler of Ummah. so in persian/urdu language the daughter of the ruler is called as shahzadi.In simple english it mean princess. there were many titles for Bibi Fatima in arabic.whether princess word in arabic was attributed to her can be searched by historians.
so naming bibi fatima= shahzadi/princess Zahra is absolutley possible.
( even prophet had titles like nabi,mustafa,rasool, paighamber etc.
so naming nabi mohammed= rasool e khuda is absolutley possible.
In Ginans the underlying essence is important not cut n dried leaf as kept by some in albums as past memories souveniers.
2) as you have defined yourself where EXACTLY you stand/hang with own belief/faith is concerned.
I am assuming that you have fallen rather than gone off from Ismailism
( that I am an educated person standing on my own feet n feel pissed off
a person looking like normal human should direct my life ).
The belief of all muslim is based from the sect he or she is affialted.
there no other main sect n subsect than sunni and shia perse.
so on th ground are many sect than Imam led Ismailism.
I see that you have from high platfrom of inteelect that from 5-7th seven havens and got stuck in palm tree( upar se giri aur khajoor ke jaad pe jaa latki.
If you are on the ground you have to be a part of some sects.
You mentioned that you believe in HIS holy book.
as you are not bound by any tafseer of wise or quacks n you DO NOT align to any sect or it's ideology but have immense faith in your educate mind.
Please answer from your own mind with NO copy paste of others have said or erred.
In quran the words mentioned are 'Imam E Mubeen". what does it means?
No copy paste allowed.answer from your mind. as you believe in his words from your heart n mind and from any angle of sunni or shia as as Boldly declared that you are none of them,so you advocating yourself

So answer this Be yourself. I personally see you a quick changing stands as escapist/fugitive/Bhagoda.

I know her very well because I was her neighbor in India and here in USA too! so besides me who else can know her better than me!?

MSMS made the proclamation of the final reconciliation between Shia and Sunni:agakhani wrote:I will love to read those farmans in which (as you wrote above ) that present and previous Imams told us to give respect towards the first 3 caliphs and Aayesha!!! please PM me those farmans.

After you provide these farmans I will post those farmans in which previous Imams told us not to respect them!
"In the present Imamat the final reconciliation between the Shia and Sunni doctrines has been publicly proclaimed by myself on exactly the same lines as Hazrat Aly did at the death of the Prophet and during the first thirty years after that. The political and worldly Khalifat was accepted by Hazrat Aly in favour of the three first Khalifs voluntarily and with goodwill for the protection of the interests of the Muslims throughout the world.
We Ismailis now in the same spirit accept the Khalifat of the first Khalifs and such other Khalifs as during the last thirteen centuries helped the cause of Islam, politically, socially and from a worldly point of view. On the other hand the Spiritual Imamat remained with Hazrat Aly and remains with his direct descendants always alive till the day of Judgement."
In his Farman to the Zanzibar Jamat MHI said:
"The second important principle is respect for others. There is diversity in the Ummah. There has been diversity for fourteen hundred years, but respect others, and seek respect from them. Because it is only on these conditions that the Ummah, the full body of those who practise the faith of Islam, will be able to make real progress in the world in which we are living. And this unity, which we hope and pray for in the Ummah, bring it into your Jamat here in Zanzibar. Bring it into your Jamat here in Zanzibar. Live in unity. Respect each other, respect each other's pluralism of views, of attitudes. But remember that you are Shia Muslims, and while you respect each other, abide by your commitment to Shia Islam. This does not mean that you do not respect other interpretations of Islam as they should respect yours. But this notion of pluralism, and of respect for others, is fundamentally important in the decades ahead, not only for our Jamat, but for the Ummah as a whole." (Zanzibar, Aug 24, 1997)
In his speech MHI said:
"From the very beginnings of Islam, the search for knowledge has been central to our cultures. I think of the words of Hazrat Ali ibn Abi Talib, the first hereditary Imam of the Shia Muslims, and the last of the four rightly-guided Caliphs after the passing away of the Prophet (may peace be upon Him). In his teachings, Hazrat Ali emphasized that “No honour is like knowledge.” And then he added that “No belief is like modesty and patience, no attainment is like humility, no power is like forbearance, and no support is more reliable than consultation.”"

The China hadith is quoted in the book " The spirit of Islam" written by Syed Amir Ali, page # 361. Syed Amir Ali has taken this hadith from the book,
" Misbah ush Shariat".

Reply,
In my post I have used the word guidance and bot farman, but as you insist, I shall quote few.
MSMS said," You should not speak ill of other religions or ridicule any body."
( Precious Pearls)
MSMS said," We Ismailis now in the same spirit accept the khalifat of the first khalifs and such other khalifs as during the last 1300 centuries helped the cause of Islam politically, socially, and from a worldly point of view."
MHI said," From the very beginnings of Islam, the search for knowledge has been central to our cultures, I think of the words of Hazrat Ali ibn Abi Talib, the first hereditary Imam of the Shia Muslims, and THE LAST OF THE FOUR RIGHTLY GUIDED CALIPHS after the passing away of the Prophet--------"
MHI said," The second important principle is respect to others. There is diversity in the Ummah. There has been diversity for 1400 years, but respect others and seek respect from them. Because it is only on these conditions that the ummah, the full body of those who practice faith of Islam, will be able to make real progress in the world in which we are living------"
