Be sure to also read their riveting 22-part history of the Noorani Family's passion for horses, going all the way back to Mawlana Sultan Muhammad Shah, which we also featured as our first Saturday Series.
An initiative of the Aga Khan Health Board for the United States of America, Recipes and More has published 60 professionally produced, generally short videos preparing a wide variety of dishes.
With 200 videos published across four different YouTube channels, the Global Centre for Pluralism has been busy since its founding. We consolidate all their YouTube channels making it easy to keep up with what's new if you have a passion for their deep intellectual deliberations about pluralism.
Mawlana Hazar Imam has said "knowledge is constantly changing, must ever be challenged and extended" and that we must "constantly review and revise and renew what we think we know." Inspired by his advice to continuously re-examine and expand our viewpoints and perspectives, Off The Beaten Track links to articles and videos of little-known, unconventional, even controversial, knowledge, opinions, wisdom and insights, drawn from all of humanity, that are relevant to the community's well-being, intellectual and spiritual growth, as well as administrative best practices. If Hazar Imam's advice resonates with you, then Off The Beaten Track is for you!
The team behind Ismaili Digest and Ismaili Ignition share the vision, insights and objectives behind these two unique projects. For example, if you've ever wondered what are the official policies regarding private Ismaili websites are, we clear up many misunderstandings among the Jamat and share guidance Mawlana Hazar Imam gave LIF Chair, Malik Talib who shared it with us and other web publishers. We also explain the new perspective of our Ismaili intellectual tradition which inspires Ismaili Ignition as well as what makes Ismaili Ignition unique: "Ignition Interviews and Questions" where we ask the hard questions facing the community today, and "Ignition Paradigm Proposals" which offer fresh, 21st Century perspectives on our faith and community. And so much more.
Do you know why there are so many Ismaili websites or what makes each of them different? Our exclusive Ismaili website guide explains it all so you can navigate the Ismaili on-line landscape and find which sites best suits your interests. Our guide highlights which websites are best for current community news and affairs, which is best for Mawlana Hazar Imam's speeches and interviews, which to visit for the best documentary and other videos related to the community, where to get short or in depth articles on our faith, culture and history, where to find the best articles related to our philosophy and tariqah and so much more.
If you're looking for the best and most interesting content published by the main Ismaili websites, then start with Ismaili Digest's exclusive Editor's Choice. Each week we publish a selection of upto 5 articles (sometimes selected by the website Editor) from the archives of just one Ismaili website or video channel. Usually the articles are related to a common theme such as "5 heartwarming stories of meeting Mawlana Sultan Muhammad Shah" or "An important message from Harvard, Pew Research and others for all faith communities". Featured websites include Roundup, NanoWisdoms Extended Quotes, Nimira's Blog, Ismaili Ignition, The Ismaili - Nutrition Centre, Ismaili Digest's Off The Beaten Track, Simerg, Ismaili Gnosis and the Institute of Ismaili Studies (IIS).
With thousands of articles and videos available, are you wondering where to start? Start here, with the Jamat's most popular new articles and videos published each month from more than 36 of the best Ismaili websites and video channels. Jamat's Choice is unique and exclusive to Ismaili Digest. Our unique technology lets us know what the Jamat found most interesting, each month, from all the Ismaili websites we monitor such as The Ismaili, Nimira's Blog, Simerg, AKDN, NanoWisdoms, The Institute of Ismaili Studies (IIS), Ismailimail, along with many, many other Ismaili and non-Ismaili websites or institutional YouTube channels.
Another way to think of Ismaili Digest is as "Google search for Ismailis." So, even though we only link to and display short, 60-word digests of material from 36 of the best private and institutional websites and video channels, under the hood we've also stored the full text of their material. This means you can search almost 15,000 web pages from all the main Ismaili sites -- like the.ismaili, Simerg, Roundup, AKDN, NanoWisdoms, The Institute of Ismaili Studies (IIS), Nimira's Blog, Ismailimail, etc. -- at one go. So, for example, if you want to find out what Ismaili websites and video channels have about Fatimid coins, you can do that with one search on Ismaili Digest instead of searching each Ismaili site individually. Another exclusive Ismaili Digest service for the community.
Please share your feedback as an Ismaili Digest visitor to let us better understand what you like and don't like so we can improve it to better serve your needs and expectations.
