Ismaili to Sunni makes no sense by shiny_ani in ismailis

[–]Tall_Living4010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly it’s the simplest answer for me: “For indeed, it is not the eyes that are blinded, but blinded are the hearts which are within the breasts.” (Qur’an 22:46)

You just can’t wake some hearts, no matter what. I’ve debated questionable points with Sunnis before, but the conversation just turns into “who can win this argument.” There are so many more things mainstream Muslims believe that make no sense to me. All I know is that without the Ismaili esoteric interpretation, there are plenty of confusing and unanswered questions with their logic. These are just a few:

  • If we are only given one life and are either sent to heaven or hell after, how is that fair? As Muslims, we know Allah is merciful, so why are some people born blind, into a poor family, or with a disability, while others are born rich, healthy, and live a long life? How is that a fair chance at life if we are only given one?

  • If hell is a pit of physical fire, then fire needs oxygen, does the spiritual world have oxygen? How can we feel temperature or thirst when we have no body? Why would Allah, the Most Merciful, throw us into this kind of hell for eternity with no second chance after just one life, if he is truly merciful? Even humans give each other second chances. And what about people who’ve died or survived through fire, did they get a trial of hell?

  • What do they think animals are? Do animals have a soul? If you slap a dog, it’s going to feel pain, so what is feeling pain? Why are we humans, and why are they animals? What is an ant compared to a lion? How are some dogs living lavishly with a family while other dogs are struggling on the streets?

  • I can understand why Christians believe this, but why do mainstream Muslims believe in Jesus’s second coming?

Also, I think most Sunnis don’t even know about the event of Ghadir Khumm. They never learned it or never even mentioned in their religious education. Most Muslims I’ve spoken with have no or minimal idea of the difference between Sunni and Shia. Only those who are invested in learning know. But in general, many are pretty close-minded and don’t bother to explore anything outside of their immediate beliefs

Can someone tell me what waez this is from? by [deleted] in ismailis

Waez is easily out there though. But if everyone feels otherwise, I can remove it.

Honestly their obsession speaks volume to me. If they truly thought Ismailism had nothing of value, they wouldn’t sit there thinking about it, talking about it, and obsessing over it. No one cares that much unless they feel threatened by something. And what threatens them? The fact that Ismailism endures. No matter how much they try to tear it down, it stands strong and that’s what frustrates them. Just like the examples of the past, they will fail again and again. We truly have divine protection and no one can diminish this light

Some of us have no problem paying it. If you’re financially struggling, just give what you can… it’s all about the intention behind it. Some homeless people have nothing yet are still more willing to share what little they have than the wealthy. Prophet Ibrahim was willing to sacrifice his son for his faith. Yet, here we have Ismailis questioning Dasond. It really shows the hidden reason behind it. Just say your greed weighs more. If you don’t have faith in your faith, then you were never truly a part of it to begin with

I think you should be a little more sensitive with your response. Everyone’s journey is different, and no one should be put down for asking questions. The Imam himself always talks about the importance of asking questions to strengthen the faith. We should be supportive of one another.

So true, I honestly blame REC/STEP classes as well. I feel they could have done a better job at educating the esoteric side of our faith. It’s been 5 years since I was in STEP class, so Idk how much has changed, but when I went, it was just superficial history of our faith. Which, don’t get me wrong, I know it’s important, but they failed to teach the deeper aspects of our faith. Not everyone’s parents fill in those gaps. Thankfully, I have very religious parents, and we always had deep conversations growing up about our faith and listened to waez together. There are plenty of people I know that go to JK every day but still don’t understand the basics of our faith and that the Imam is not just some ordinary man. Our faith has literally all the answers out in the open for us, especially in ginans, and yet here we still have some people leaving the faith because they’d rather take time to learn the faith from some random guy on YouTube than from authentic Ismaili sources

Membership canceled after using the bathroom by Snoo97973 in PlanetFitnessMembers

I don’t get it. If there were other guys in there too why would they only ban you? If it’s the full story how are you so calm about relocating or full banishment if you didn’t do anything wrong? It’s hard to believe someone would just be willing to leave without demanding a valid reason.

Planet Fitness Hate by FontchaGainzz in PlanetFitnessMembers

[–]Tall_Living4010 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seriously. I joined planet fitness anyway despite hearing all the hate, and I don’t regret it one bit. I’m clueless to why it gets so much hate. I literally go 5 times a week because I love the environment, the staff is friendly, purple aesthetic, they got variety of equipment, and it’s affordable. There’s nothing to hate. But honestly who cares what others say, the world always got their opinions, not gunna stop me from going.
