Amanna (via Ismaili Digest)
Established in late 1995, Amaana is tied with ismaili.net as the oldest public Ismaili website -- private or institutional -- and we're proud to say that a woman, Nina Jaffer, founder of Amaana, was one of these two pioneers, that led Ismailis on to the Internet. Their vision and resolute determination, in the Internet's early years, when many had doubts, fears and pressures, echoes the courageous spirit of earlier Ismaili pioneers. And just as they paved the way for others to follow, our Internet pioneers also paved the way for all the other Ismaili websites who followed them onto the Internet, a decade or more later, when it had become "safe" and "normal" to publish Ismaili websites. Amaana has published hundreds of articles about Ismailism and Islam, however, due to technical reasons, only a fraction are available on Ismaili Digest, so do spend time browsing Amaana itself. All their pieces are all as relevant today as when originally published.
