Fatimi Ismaili Imams are the only rightful Imam's and rest all are usurpers like etc, etc and etc who usurped rights of Ameer al mumineen Mola Ali a.s.

The lack of "A.S." after Ismail Imam name shows the partiality of this book :roll:

"Fiqa Ismailiya" by Allahma Sheikh Hasan Ali sahib is available in English and Urdu. I can send Urdu version to u, if you require. The English one is under print. This translation is done by Sheikh Mohammed Sarangpr Wala from UK, he is son of Shaheed Sajjad Hussain who was murdered by Burhanuddin Sahib and YN.

your attention is invited to surah tauba ayat 119. The ayat asks that believers be on the side of the one who is the truth. among the two fighting and throwing bouts at one another i.e. sms and kqs who is the truth?. The mumineen are throughly confused. one slutters and the other goes around killing animals.

salams,
there have been many dawat books that are already translated in by the IIS available that review this topic. For example Syedna Naysaburi (ra) and Syedna Hamid Kirmani (ra).

FYI the book "Examining the Ismaili Imams and the Bohras" is written by a Bohra.

I believe it is time for us to remove the purdah on our minds and accept the Mujudan Hazir Imam Shah Karim Al Husseini as the Imam- Our Zuhur for us will have occurred, as the Nizari line of Imam's is the only line protected by Allah, all other lines had to go into occultation or seclusion. The succession dispute has made me think and reflect on our faith.
Ironically just a few days ago I would have abused any one who told me what I just wrote.

Make sure you check his genes before you accept as your Imam. Is he really son of Ali Agha Khan?

Bro. Muslim First:
This was uncalled for. It does not suit you.

Bro, I knew you were too intelligent to be an average Bohra lol!

It seems you may well be an Ismaili who was being dishonest previously - (it was your post about the Amman Message which made me suspicious, as almost all the Ismailis I know mention it constantly!)

Brother, as a fellow Shia, you are most welcome here... in fact Admin lets anybody on here, even those who hate Shias - so please don't feel you need to hide or lie about who you really are.

I would love to learn more about your community, indeed I often considered joining it myself when I was younger! Ismailis are easily the most educated and advanced Muslims in the world, and your modern/esoteric interpretation of Islam is very appealing... despite being very different and often criticised.

If indeed you are an Ismaili, please do start a thread explaining your faith and the functioning of your community - right now is a good time to speak to people honestly and openly, as lots of Bohras will be questioning things... which perhaps is what motivated you to join this forum to begin with. :wink:
