Edward Feser: Woke Ideology Is a Psychological Disorder -- Plato Shows Us Who the Real Tyrants Are
[H/T MOHIB EBRAHIM] -- AMERICANMIND.ORG -- [ISMAILI DIGEST ED: Hazar Imam, 2006: "How can we inspire people to reach beyond rampant materialism, self-indulgent individualism, and unprincipled relativism?" ~~ Hazar Imam, 1999: "It's clear that uncontrolled freedom becomes license.... It's probably the most challenging issue that I have to address today."] ARTICLE: To understand today's society, it is useful to look at Plato's four stages by which minds become progressively disordered and the corresponding four increasingly corrupt societies they create. For Plato, reason is that faculty by which we understand objective facts. He, therefore, rejects the relativist view that what a thing is, and what is good for it, are matters of human convention.... For Plato, democracy is characterized by the "diversity of its characters" and "treats all men as equal, whether they are equal or not." In particular, it treats all ways of life as equal, no matter how irrational or immoral. The young "throw off all inhibitions" and celebrate "insolence, license, extravagance, and shamelessness," becoming ever more extreme." All pleasures are equal and ...

VIDEO: Why Mawlana Hazar Imam rejects relativism outright and why it confuses our youth about our values | Ignition Proposal
PART 2 -- In this two-part series we ask, "Are your values aligned with Hazar Imam's?" by looking at what are and are not our values. In Part 1 we looked at a fatal misunderstanding that prevents us from making the value judgments Hazar Imam insists we make. Here, in Part 2, we take a deep dive into relativism which Hazar Imam rejects unequivocally and which we feel is the #1 issue facing all faith-based communities, including ours, today. We explain what relativism is, its origins, how it surreptitiously infects society and why it is the source of almost all the issues not aligned with our faith's values that leads our youth to question our values. When faith is undermined, Hazar Imam says, "everything goes with it: the family, society, the individual, the intelligence." In this presentation we show how, after rejecting faith, relativism corrupts everything it touches: religion, morals and values, education, intelligence, and more.

Lady Fatima Zahra, Prophet Muhammad's Daughter
By Syed H. Akhtar When writing about the greatness of a personality, one needs a gold standard with which to compare the strengths and weaknesses of that individual. However, if that person is herself the gold standard, then it makes it impossible to adequately describe her greatness. Hazrat Fatima az-Zahra (A) was such a personality. Her merits are unmatched by any ...

The Ismaili - Nutrition Centre Chilli Mogo
Nutrition Centre -- Healthy Hints Since this recipe calls for a shallow fry in a few tablespoons of oil, it is a better alternative to the generally deep-fried varieties of this crowd favourite. Because the peppers and onions are cut into big chunks and do not absorb large amounts of oil, this recipe yields 200 calories per serving. A little portion ...

News Flash for Digest + Ignition Editor's Choice: Ismaili Digest -- 3 randomly chosen articles
DAILYSTOIC.COM -- A person isn't brave, generally. We can only be brave, specifically. In the moment. This is true for you or me or the most decorated soldiers. The criteria for two highest U.S. military honours are virtually identical but action in the moment is what changes everything. It's not fighting off of 12 insurgents for 5 hours -- it's sprinting across an open plain for 20 seconds, exposed to gunfire on three sides, to aid a fallen comrade. Twenty seconds of insane, embarrassing bravery. That's what courage is. Think about that today, as you're deciding whether to speak up or go along with something you disagree with. Give yourself a few seconds of courage. Something great will come of it. Promise. ...

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. |
