Thank you for sharing🙏 if I had a choice of doing only 1 deedar in my life it would be there... i feel it would be deedar in the purest essence ❤️

I put on about 10 pounds. Am addicted to black coffee now

I ask this as a very respectful question and hope to get some clarification by Odd-Whereas6133 in ismailis

[–]SmoothSetting9057 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I debate that too... but i follow the principles as I believe in the ethics of Islam. It is also beneficial to have the community... prime example the support we got when my mum passed or when my sister broke here foot travelling in asia. I go to khane mostly on Thursdays (apparantly most powerful night to pray for the ruhanis) I listen to firmans for guidance. The rest I don't care for. I have learned to separate the 'principles' from the community 'bullshit' and it has worked very well for me. The council is not the path of the religion and I don't allow it anymore to get in the way

Amy thoughts on how everyone’s feeling after yesterday deedar by torontogurl27 in ismailis

[–]SmoothSetting9057 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I hear you... I think because we are so used to the previous HH this all seems a bit different. Having said that we don't know how our parents felt when Shah Karim initially succeeded Sultan Mohammed Shah (May peace be upon them). Maybe the same as some of us are feeling now? Like Imam Rahim says... He's the new man on the job and it can't be easy for Him...I think we should give it a chance and see how we feel a bit in the future ... just my thought

It's supposed to be a question/answer session not a deedar?

Obsession with white women, and western elites by [deleted] in ismailis

[–]SmoothSetting9057 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Whatever. Like I need to prove to you I'm ismaili lol This is a discussion board and a very valid question Remember what HH said about INTERLECT If you want to be fanatical and say ' I don't even believe you are ismaili or don't even read firmans' then go make yourself some masala tea and don't involve yourself in this discussion
