28th Imam - Shams al-Din Muhammad - by Mumtaz Ali Tajddin
GOOGLE.COM -- Imam Shams al-Din Muhammad is said to have been born in Maimundiz fortress in 1230. Ata Malik Juvaini wrongly suggests the butchery of Ismailis by the Mongols, in Qazwin and Rudhbar following Alamut, was the end of the Ismailis as well as the unbroken line of the Imamate. However, manuscripts reveal that Imam Shamsuddin Muhammad had left Maimundiz a week before the Mongols arrived and Juvaini joined the Mongols a month later still.

VIDEO: "A Signature in History" -- Assessing the Ismaili Imamat's Authenticity | Ignition Proposal
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, highly acclaimed, 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.

EU Mulls Five-Year Ban on Facial Recognition
MINDMATTERS.AI -- Artificial Intelligence based facial recognition technology tends to misidentify members of minority groups: "it is particularly bad at recognizing African Americans and other ethnic minorities, women, and young people, often misidentifying or failing to identify them, disparately impacting certain groups." Microsoft president Brad Smith revealed the giant turned down a request from law enforcement. Smith said the technology could lead to a disproportionately large number of women and minorities being held for questioning. According to a draft paper, the European Commission wants a temporary ban on facial recognition software of five years. France and Sweden have stopped schools from installing it on their grounds. San Francisco banned the technology by police and city agencies. However, Microsoft ...

Tuesday's Teachings (From Life) Developing Manly Courage
ARTOFMANLINESS.COM -- [ISMAILI DIGEST ED: Hazrat Ali: "The coward has no enjoyment of life."] ARTICLE: Courage is a virtue that philosophers have been trying to define for millennia. For me courage is something that I know when I see. When I see courage in action, I'm inspired to dare for noble causes. Courageous men stir my soul to endure, even when I'm surrounded by defeat and cynicism. But before a man can take on the big challenges, he must hone his courage in the small decisions he makes every day. Courage is like a muscle; it can be strengthened and developed through consistent training. Below we discuss the physical, intellectual and moral courage which every man should seek to embody, and how to develop each. ...

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. |
