4th Imam - Muhammad al-Baqir - by Mumtaz Ali Tajddin
GOOGLE.COM -- Abu Jafar Muhammad bin Ali, known as al-Bakir, possessed extensive knowledge in religion matters, and because of that was nicknamed al-Bakir (meaning to split open, or revealer of secret science).

Kashi records an important tradition that, "Before the Imamate of Muhammad al-Bakir, the Shi'a did not know what was lawful and what was unlawful, except what they learned from the people." Imam Muhammd al-Bakir articulated the doctrine the Imamate in Shi'ism and the doctrine of taqiya, but left his son to give it a final form and make it an absolute condition of the faith. ...

Tuesday's Teachings (From Life) The Key to Unhappiness
YOUTUBE.COM -- PRAGERU -- How many times have you heard someone say they want to make a better world? It is a noble sentiment, but very hard to achieve, right? Well, actually, it's quite easy. All we have to do is increase just one human trait. This trait is so powerful that it alone can make people happier without working on their happiness, and make them better - and by "better," I mean more generous, more honest, more kind, more everything good - without a single lesson in morality. So, then, what is this one almost magical thing? Drumroll, please. It's ...

ARCHITECTURAL-REVIEW.COM -- [ISMAILI DIGEST ED: Iranian-born British architect, Ms. Farshid Moussavi, has been selected by Mawlana Hazar Imam to design the Ismaili Center in Houston, USA.

Patronage of architecture is another profession-specific type of activism.... The Aga Khan Award is unique in rewarding not only the final building but also the process that leads to it and the impact it has on its community and environment ...

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. |
