Ismaili religious beliefs

Peace Basit

The official website of the Ismailis is irrelevant for this thread as the website is engineered for their political point of view not their religious belief system.

It is also a core belief element in the 'Aqeedah of Muslims that Salah is incumbent on us. The Ismailis have their own version of Salah which nullifies their belief in Salah. I can confirm that this is the case as an Ismaili person my sister knows tells her that she does not pray like the ‘other’ Muslims.

What Political Point ?

There are many Core belief elements of Muslims … when we talk about Salat/ Salaah .. there are many muslim faiths other than just Sunnis on how Salaat is performed … or is there just one? and the ONLY one?

SURAH 2 AL- BAQARAT ( THE COW), AYAT 177
It is not righteousness that you turn your faces towards East or West;
But it is righteousness to believe in Allah, and in the Last Day,
And in the Angels, and the Book, and the Messengers;
To spend of your substance out of your love for him,
For your kin, for orphans, for the needy, for the wayfarer,
Nor transgressing due limits, then he is guiltless,
For Allah is Oft-forgiving, most Merciful.

And there are many verses … When I look at this verse and the essence of Quran, the reality of the world, the pluralistic view etc … I think that Aga khani’s echo the message of Islam to the world …The aga khan development network is one example of it … http://www.akdn.org/

These are again just my views as I have been involved with them since ages …
