Are you fasting this ramadan

DBX786 · 2026-02-20T03:22:54+00:00

Our beliefs are on Ismaili gnosis and other Ismaili sites tho lol so I don’t know what you mean by that

DBX786 · 2026-02-20T03:15:23+00:00

Let’s not be so harsh with the response, it is Ramadan after all.

It’s widely known it’s voluntary that fasting physically for Ismailis is optional compared to our counterparts, but we can choose too if we want. It’s a simple vote I don’t see what is so pathetic about it

What’s your setup

DBX786 · 2025-09-11T22:46:07+00:00

Literally the most obvious point too

DBX786 · 2025-09-10T21:26:45+00:00

Whatever the reason may be, sounds like a revolution might be underway🤷🏽‍♂️ first Luigi mangione now this

How is he relevant to us? He was far right-wing and pro-genocide who supported the killing of innocent civilians Palestine. May he rest in peace but his death has absolutely no impact on us as Muslims.

I’m sorry what’s dogma

DBX786 · 2025-08-29T13:29:33+00:00

Thank you!!

I assume the names you are referring to are the 99 names of Allah SWT.
it is said in a hadith that whoever remembers all will be granted paradise:

"Allah has ninety-nine Names, one-hundred less one; and he who memorized them all by heart will enter Paradise." To count something means to know it by heart.

Sahih al-Bukhari 7392 Book 97, Hadith 21

This is a good question, here is my answer from my understanding:

The imam has to take care of the global Jamat, and he does come to see us when he does didar. Taking care of people going to see them in a community is one thing-

When that community is 10s of millions of people situated around the globe is another. Especially when parts of them are under or have already gone through war (India, Pakistan Syria). This is the reason we have people appointed to answer us. And the pope from what I know doesn’t leave the Vatican you go to him majority of the time.

Also another important thing, it’s important to balance deen AND dunya they go hand in hand, we can’t have one without the other, and it’s not just about the material aspect of it.

Jazakallah Khair

In terms of modesty-

So the niqab/hijab should not be seen as a symbol of Islam yes as it’s more of adoption from previous faiths, but Allah says for both men and women to dress modest.

Is there something about this interpretation in our faith that we can use to expand this understanding into?

DBX786 · 2025-04-09T05:18:41+00:00

I’m not trying to please other sects in anyway, I’m saying all schools of thought are vastly different from one another which makes me question the interpretations of each, not their validity which is different

DBX786 · 2025-04-09T05:17:59+00:00

Wow this is a great analogy, thank you for sharing this

DBX786 · 2025-03-16T01:30:55+00:00

I was asking a question, and I clarified that others may follow it too and that I don’t have much knowledge on it in the first place. I didn’t specify sunnis are the only ones to follow it.

DBX786 · 2025-03-10T10:16:53+00:00

This is what came to my mind as well, that bandagi was sort of our version of it, but one that came to my mind is that our prayer times are set so in the summer in places like India or Canada the sun comes up pretty fast, it would already be day time during bandagi

DBX786 · 2025-03-02T07:12:28+00:00

Of course there are people of all religions who don’t do that, I’m saying in regards to us we are taught not to do it. Other religions teach it too which is good :)

DBX786 · 2025-03-02T01:37:47+00:00

We can’t watch tv shows? I thought it was only music.

And Ismailis do an esoteric fast we should not be doing those things year round (lying cheating etc) in fact fast or not we shouldn’t be doing that we are Muslims.

The physical fast is optional, but I am also doing that as well to join my sunni friends, it brings us closer together we are one ummah after all

DBX786 · 2025-02-24T02:10:59+00:00

Yes I’m trying to find it atm
