VIDEO: "A Signature in History" -- Assessing the Ismaili Imamat's Authenticity | Ignition Proposal
Presentation videos and slides now available. ~~ Today's Jamat, especially the younger Jamat in the West, seeks more than traditional, philosophical arguments for God and the Imamat because those are often not intellectually satisfying. Rooted in the fundamental principle that faith is and always has been evidence based, as has been unambiguously explained by our Imams and the Qur'an, "The Ismaili Imamat: A Signature in History," is a new objective assessment of the Ismaili Imamat's authenticity using a fresh, ground-breaking approach. We are confident these videos will be of particular interest to parents, young adults, youth, especially high school and university students as well was the wider Jamat. ~~> Q&A EVENT ON SATURDAY MAY 28, 2022. CLICK for times in your city and Zoom link.

Western Media Run Blatant Atrocity Propaganda For The Ukrainian Government
CAITLINJOHNSTONE.COM -- [ISMAILI DIGEST ED: While we normally do not post on political matters, we are posting on the situation in Ukraine because it is an invaluable case study about Big Tech and Western media. ~~ Hazar Imam, 1996: "For centuries, the press has cast itself as the champion of understanding and enlightenment. And yet, even as the press has become more international, it has often left a trail of misunderstanding in its wake."] ARTICLE: The Ukrainian government has learnt it can say literally anything, and the western press will report it as actual news. Their latest story is Russians are raping Ukrainian babies to death. The Daily Mail, Yahoo News and others all ran the story. However, four paragraphs in we get crucial disclaimer that they "could find no independent evidence for the claim." The US and its proxies have an established history of using atrocity propaganda. Remember the infamous, yet false, "taking babies from incubators" testimony used to manufacture consent for the 1990 Gulf War. Atrocity propaganda has ...

US lied about Ukraine's NATO prospects -- ex-Obama official
RT.COM -- [ISMAILI DIGEST ED: While we normally do not post on political matters, we are posting on the situation in Ukraine because it is an invaluable case study about Big Tech and Western media.] ARTICLE: Washington has been deliberately lying about Ukraine's prospects to ever join NATO, former US Ambassador to Russia Michael McFaul acknowledged this month in Toronto at the Munk Debates. When questioned by Stephen Walt why, throughout 2021, Washington kept pushing for Ukraine's NATO membership, McFaul interrupted with "And did you believe that?" "So, our diplomats are lying?" Walt shot back. "Yes! Yes, that's the real world, guys, c'mon," McFaul replied. "Our diplomats are lying all the time, yet the Russians should trust them when they're offered assurances," Walt noted, spurring applause from the audience. Russia ...

Tuesday's Teachings (From Life) Why A Healthy Society Requires Honoring Your Father And Mother
[H/T MOHIB EBRAHIM] -- THEFEDERALIST.COM -- [ISMAILI DIGEST ED: An essential article with a brilliant perspective. ~~ Hazar Imam, 1983: "It didn't matter where you were or what you were doing, when [my grandfather] said, 'I want to see you.' you turned out." ~~ Hazar Imam, 1985: "Oh yes [my grandfather gave advice], and as the head of family he was fairly clear that when he gave advice, it was to be respected."] ARTICLE: The precept give honor to your father and your mother makes use of an active verb, enjoining us to act with intention to give "kavod" [Hebrew] or weightiness to our parents by inquiring regarding their preferences and their counsel; by acting in accordance with their preferences wherever possible and by avoiding contradicting them when it is not; by praising their achievements and their virtues. This all increases the weight and significance of our parents in our own eyes which also is plainly visible to them. Honoring one's parents is not the same as obeying them. There is no expiration date and it is life-time obligation, even after one's parents are gone. There is no more obvious difference between a liberal and conservative order than ...

Learning under the Fatimids -- BoAI Vol #2
GOOGLE.COM -- The history of the Fatimids has suffered considerable distortion. This is perfectly understandable given the majority of our "historical" sources, stem from historians who were patronised by the Abbasids, or groups closely alied with them. Due to the impulse to abolish anything noteworthy about the Fatimids, historical facts about the Fatimids were both reduced and distorted. One particular aspect of the Fatimid Empire was its avid interest in learning. In particular, men of learning who did not subscribe to the Fatimid creed were given protection and encouraged to contribute to the intellectual life of the Empire. Cairo became the centre intellectuals of diverse views and persuasions. "There were study circles ... in the mosques or houses ...

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. |
