How an Obsession with SAFETY Leads to Mental Illness & Tyranny
YOUTUBE.COM -- ACADEMYOFIDEAS.COM -- [ISMAILI DIGEST ED: Hazrat Ali: "He will always excel in merit who takes the initiative." ~~ Hazar Imam, 1963: "I am afraid that the torch of intellectual discovery, the attraction of the unknown ... have left us [Muslims]." ~~ Hazar Imam, 2007: [We must] infuse our students with ... the spirit of adventure.] ARTICLE: Our age has been called many things, but an age of cowards may describe it best. Historically, some of the most prosperous societies were those most oriented towards experimentation and risk taking. The opposite approach, emphasising safety over risk-taking, stunts human potential and growth. To develop as individuals, exploration of the unknown and experimentation with novel ways of interacting with the world is a necessity and this entails taking risks and facing danger. Danger makes men classical, and all greatness, after all, is rooted in risk. A safe life, lacking real challenges and absent in adventure, is inert and leads to a withering away ...

Why History by Aziz Esmail -- BoAI Vol #2
GOOGLE.COM -- Of all the subjects taught in universities, history is scarcely understood among intellectuals and lay people in any depth. This inadequacy is brought out in various ways. Some show, at best, a condescending tolerance for professional historians. Others worship them as men with "fantastic memories." In this article, I discuss the nature and uses of history and try to answer two essential questions: What is history? And how does the study of history benefit a group of people at a given moment of time? My examples will be drawn primarily from Islamic history. Finally, I will make a few general remarks why I think the study of history has a special place in our community at present. First, the nature ...

Tajikistan -- 18-уми майи соли 2022 Президент ва аъзои азизам, Ман аз дубора оғоз гардидани нооромиҳои охир дар Бадахшони Кӯҳӣ сахт нигаронам.

Think of Ismaili Digest as the Front Page of all the best Ismaili websites! Ismaili Digest automatically and continuously brings together all new articles, photos, videos, etc. from Ismaili websites -- like The Ismaili, Simerg, IIS, NanoWisdoms, AKDN, Ismailimail, etc. -- so you can see them all at once. Direct links to over 15,000 web-pages from the best Ismaili websites already available. Ismaili Digest saves you (and those who are not tech savvy, such as seniors) the effort of having to visit them one by one to keep up to date, or have your inbox cluttered with emails from each of them when they publish new content. In a busy world, our sense of belonging to our community sometimes tends to wither and fade (particularly for isolated Jamati members). We hope Ismaili Digest's simplicity and comprehensiveness will help you feel connected as well as feel the local and global pulse of the community. Like many other non-commercial, public-service thematic website aggregators, Ismaili Digest is just a thematic aggregator. We publish short 50-60 word digests of all their content and provide direct links to their original pages saving you time, extra page loads and clicks. For the website publishers, direct links ensure they'll get the maximum number of potential visitors reaching their content so their hard work gets the maximum exposure. Also featured are other important articles, research and opinions relevant to the community's well being, intellectual growth, best practises and administration. And all served with a drop of humour as well, because "we are a community that welcomes the smile!" Ismaili Digest is not associated with any private Ismaili website, whether aggregated by Ismaili Digest or not. All websites Ismaili Digest aggregates are independent websites run by their individual owners and we are not responsible for content they publish. |
