I have a few questions.
- do you guys pray the same way as other muslims? like five times daily following the same procedure with minor difference?
- Are others allowed to visit the jamaat khaana when you guys are praying or during other times.
- I had a friend in high school who was ismaili and remember him telling me that the next imam is the eldest son of the current imam. Now I read in the other thread that the current imam chooses the next imam. Which is it?
- If the current imam chooses, then does he leave a will or does he declare it during his lifetime?
- What if the imam doesn't have any sons?
Thanks
