Majlis 13 -- Do What Pleases the Imam -- Qadi al-Nu'man's Code of Conduct for the Followers of Imam
GOOGLE.COM -- It is the duty of the followers of the Imams that they should train themselves to do things openly and secretly, which are agreeable to the Imams. They should refrain themselves from doing what is disagreeable to them. God has linked our obedience to the Imams with our obedience to Himself and has made it as obligatory on us to obey the Imams as to obey Him.... We must bear in mind that if the Imams tolerate our misconduct they do so with an uneasy mind. It is a great hardship on them to stand it and a great burden on their minds. ...

News Flash for Digest + Ignition Amanna (via Ismaili Digest)
Established in late 1995, Amaana is tied with ismaili.net as the oldest public Ismaili website -- private or institutional -- and we're proud to say that a woman, Nina Jaffer, founder of Amaana, was one of these two pioneers, that led Ismailis on to the Internet. Their vision and resolute determination, in the Internet's early years, when many had doubts, fears and pressures, echoes the courageous spirit of earlier Ismaili pioneers. And just as they paved the way for others to follow, our Internet pioneers also paved the way for all the other Ismaili websites who followed them onto the Internet, a decade or more later, when it had become "safe" and "normal" to publish Ismaili websites. Amaana has published hundreds of articles about Ismailism and Islam, however, due to technical reasons, only a fraction are available on Ismaili Digest, so do spend time browsing Amaana itself. All their pieces are all as relevant today as when originally published.

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. |
