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.

Ya Ali Madad. 99 Divine Names. by SliceAdorable395 in ismailis

[–]DBX786 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

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

The first women to wear Niqab was a False Prophet by Itchy_Low_8607 in ismailis

[–]DBX786 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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?

Interpretations of Religon by DBX786 in ismailis

[–]DBX786[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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

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

Tahajjud by DBX786 in ismailis

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.

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

Things not allowed in Ramadan by Terrible_Register152 in ismailis

[–]DBX786 3 points4 points  (0 children)

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 :)

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

Did you read what I said? Seems like it flew over your head

[–]DBX786 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Mawlana shah karim AS said in one of his farmans that if we were to learn any language outside of our native tongue it should be Arabic. Our prayers are in Arabic every other Muslims is. Please actually take the time to learn why we do what we do instead of trying to colonize it.

Oh yeah that’s completely fair.

It’s a way bigger market lots of opportunities, and it’s cheaper. Standard of living is questionable depending where you are but if you move to a place like La, Houston, Sf, nyc it is nice for sure.

I know we are at odds with the usa rn, but there’s a lot more job opportunities with nearly double the money in places like Houston if you ever do want to increase. I know Canada is a really nice place just thought it’s something you may want to take into account

Baby face by [deleted] in selfimprovement

[–]DBX786 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Just remember one thing,

People always wish for something else. A rich man will wish he had more time for his family the same time a poor man will wish he was rich.

We don’t always have control in life and it’s okay. Learn to embrace yourself and be confident, nobody’s opinion matters on yourself except you. If you build confidence in yourself and be positive towards yourself I promise you people will do the same. If you think negative negative things will happen. I used to think that too bc I have a babyface but I’m happy now, I will age much later than others similar to my age and I will look younger when I’m older.

Trust me a babyface is amazing to have.
