i myself have wondered about why the wives of my imam(A.S) don’t do purdah and etc.. i guess the imam knows better than me.. and besides, about jamatkhanas, i would be delighted to allow u into my jamatkhana but during our prayers, we testify to believe in our imams, would u testify wid us in our jamatkhana??? and u don’t hav to teach me what parhaizgar or munafiq are.. i already know.. n i don’t know why imam doesn’t debate, maybe u should ask him coz u hav doubts about his knowledge.. and when tabligh goes, do u think i will go to home alive after preaching to a sunni or a shia in his house?? i don’t think so… but still here i am, dear trulyurs, "will u become a ismaili like me
yeah offcourse why not but that only possible if ur imam have the hujjatullah qualities n he doesnt keep things wid him only but guide it n preach it openly to whole muslim ummah like all imam did n faced hurdles n get killed n poisend after preaching the truth.
The rank of Imamat is actually a reflection of Prophethood and the nature of the Imam has been found to be very close to the nature of the Prophet.
town boy i can’t see any reflection of Prophet(saw) n Ali murtaza(AS) in ur imam.so sorry i’m happy wid my soul at the place i am .but yes the process of seeking knowledge is always thr .its not that i only favours my scholars n my sect.im a gr8 fan of MOULANA ISHAQUE who is sunni scholar n SHEIKH ISLAM TAHIRUL QADRI.becuase they preech islam n prevails true islam they r doing fantabulous job to unite muslim ummah.does ur imam doing all this???this is wht we called tabligue.
here’s where u go wrong.. imam hussein (A.S) didn’t judge yazeed, Allah did. and Allah gave order to imam hussein(A.S) to move forward to karbala n not go back.. and hadees of Huzoor(S.A.W) and sayings of Ali(A.S) don’t tell us to judge ppl.. “parakhna” doesn’t mean judging.. it means to obesrve and if the person has a bad character, stay away from him.. and only Allah can judge so ppl electing a paish imam while luking at quran and sunnah is exactly what i’m sayin.. don’t judge by yourself, let Allah judge..
thats wht we r doing ,we r observing the actions of ur imam n community ppl n asking u Q n giving our assumptions:).after observation one decides to persue n i think thats our judgmenet to keep wid that particular person or not :)))
Now my answer to all of your quotations, what are you trying to prove??? if u think ismailis value wealth more than hearts, then i’m sorry you are totally wrong.. instead of spewing your hate on the internet, go read the farmans of my imam..
now here u took me wrong,look whn u start this kind of thread u ll definatelly get mental thread so dont take it personal .all the quotation i paste here is just for analysing a person b4 keeping any relation wid him .that was my main moto to write these quotaion but if u have any offence thn im sorry .these quotation was meant to judge or in ur word observe ppl b4 indulging in any relation.
i wud love to read farman of ur imam n other religoius litereature of ur sect.i hope u ll fix some links here so that everybody can read n get some knowldege abt ismailies shool of thought.
town boy its healthy sign to argue or answer on behalf of ur community n in im my peronal opinion u r doing fabulous n wonderful job.but lemme tell u while doing this u might have realized that even u r getting something i mean knowledge which u might not have previously.i wud like to suggest u to gain some more basics knowledge abt imamate.

this link is also the answer to ur Q abt no body beleives imam mehdi beside we 12ers.
and non-muslims ask us why our Prophet (S.A.W) married hazrat ayesha when she was only 9 or 11??? does that mean he (S.A.W) is not the Hujjat of Allah??do u hav an answer for that?? Hazrat Hassan (A.S) married a woman who later poisoned him.. didn’t he know that?? does that mean he (A.S) is not the Hujjat of Allah?? for me, it’s the noor of Allah that the Prophet or imam of the time possesses.. PERIOD..
.. i have answered it probably a dozen times that not keeping a beard or pursuing your favorite hobby doesn’t make u ineligible to become imam.. and where’s it written that my imam(A.S) bets… he runs horses doesn’t necessarily mean he bets.. our imam(A.S) likes skiing, racing horses etc.. so what?? and i believe in Hazir Imam as my leader, NOT his wife.. SIMPLE AS THAT..
.any ways wht ever u asked me is all thr in those links so better see it throughly though these link is meant for wahabi n nasibi who always oppose teaching of ahlybait n never accepted Moula Ali (AS) as kalifatullah n naib of rasoolallah, n who never accepted the concept of imammate.
