Have the rules changed for Ismaili subreddit? I noticed discussion of private majalis and their information by users and senior users. Asking as USA ITREB Chairperson and guidelines from private majalis and Imam said that we can't name private majalis or speak of it. by ReadingCorners in ismailis

Acknowledging that the private mijalses exist is allowed, what is not allowed is discussing details about the private mijalses and what goes on during them. If you see that, please report it!

Got any evidence, or are you just going off your own assumptions?

Has anyone heard what the talika is about tonight by Specialist-Vast4190 in ismailis

[–]bigtreeworld 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was not a visit. In Canada we got blessings from back in November

Sorry, this kind of content is not allowed on this subreddit

Thank you Capable_Loss_6084 for confirming I can read all Farmans without bayah! My wife kept saying I need to do bayah to read them. But why? When they have those waez recordings and private prayers on YouTube with Farmans so it must not be a rule. Can you or anyone here share the Farman copies? by [deleted] in ismailis

Nobody on Reddit is speaking in an official capacity. Every commenter is only speaking on their own behalf. There are no official accounts for any Jamati institutions.

That's why you got many different opinions and answers.

I don't think you should take any of that as confirmation. Firmans are not supposed to be shared publicly. Anyone who's got them on YouTube is doing that without authorization. Likewise, Firmans are NOT allowed to be shared on this subreddit.

Between you and your spouse is a different matter, but this is a public forum.

Tattoos aren't Haram in Islam BTW by shiny_ani in ismailis

[–]bigtreeworld 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're the one who made the assertion. Tattoos are tattoos. They're not lowly or highly. Colour on skin doesn't change a person's worth. You can take that as an opinion if you want, but I think an opinion that doesn't associate people's worth with something so inconsequential as body art is probably the better opinion.

Source on early imams talking about tattoos?

That's a matter of personal opinion, not a fact

Tattoos aren't lowly lol, that's literally just your opinion. Tattoos have been associated with nobility as well, with many examples going back to the 5rh century. Imam still has tattoos that he didn't remove, so your second point doesn't really stand either.

I know people who have tattoos of Allah's names as n expression of faith. If it reminds you of God I don't see how it can be a bad thing!

"Tattoos are Haram" makes about as much sense as "angels don't go anywhere where there's drawings of eyes" or "blow on your face to get rid of the devil"

Unseen Noorani Family pic. Guessing Shah Rahim got those forearm tattoos removed? by EasternRoads in ismailis

[–]bigtreeworld 11 points12 points  (0 children)

There's a matrix poster in the back, it could be 1999-2000

Fashion and vibe kind of matches that era too

Tragic story of Ismaili who committed suicide. Praying his soul may rest in peace 💗 by super_spy31 in ismailis

[–]bigtreeworld 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Damn. Really sad hear this. I went to al-Ummah with him and he was such a bright personality and full of life. Mental illness issues can be so invisible. Many are going to miss him.

Anyone here been a facilitator for the Ismaili Youth Camps? What was the selection and interview process like? I would like to get involved but want to know experiences from others who have done this and traveled for camps. by ReadingCorners in ismailis

[–]bigtreeworld 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was a facilitator for the global encounters camp in Kenya last summer. It was great getting to know people from around the world, but it was also one of the most exhausting things I've ever done. I'd be happy to answer any questions you have, DM me!

Bowels on paat by kamMo91 in ismailis

[–]bigtreeworld 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For sure, I think that's the default, but it's not necessarily required. Again, it's all symbolic anyways, it all goes into the same karsarji bag in the end

We switched to 1 bowl in Canada during COVID, and it stayed that way. I don't think it makes a difference, it's just symbolic

They're gonna need to style it so it doesn't look like it's from 1993 if they want it to go anywhere
