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.

Stats Hold a Surprise: Lockdowns May Have Had Little Effect on COVID-19 Spread
NATIONALREVIEW.COM -- [ISMAILI DIGEST ED: Hazar Imam, 2007: "Good people do not all think alike, and that we must constantly learn from one another."] ARTICLE: In 1932, US Supreme Court justice Louis Brandeis famously called the states "laboratories of democracy." Different states can test out different policies, and learn from each other. That proved true in 2020. Governors in different states responded to the COVID-19 pandemic at different times and in different ways. Some states ordered sweeping shutdowns. Others took a more targeted approach. Still others dispensed information but had no lockdowns at all. As a result, we can now compare outcomes in different states to test the question no one wants to ask: Did the lockdowns make a difference? And the data suggest mandatory lockdowns exacted a great cost, with a questionable effect on transmission. If lockdowns ...

Teachers and Teaching of Religion -- BoAI Vol #1
GOOGLE.COM -- [ISMAILI DIGEST ED: Hazar Imam, 2003: "Education must also stimulate students to consider a variety of perspectives on some of the fundamental questions posed by the human condition: 'What is truth?' 'What is reality?' and 'What are my duties to my fellow man, to my country and to God?'"] ARTICLE: Today [1944] the whole world is convinced of the importance of teaching religion in schools. But this task can be made very difficult if our schools were dominated by non-Ismaili staff. As a Christian educationist warned: "We have had evidence that, in some instances, the attitude of individual administrators and educators may be aggressively opposed to religion in any form [and] lack of agreement on deeper questions makes the task of moral education immensely more difficult when members of the staff of the school entertain different views regarding the ultimate meaning and purpose of life." ... I cannot refrain from commenting on the tendency of the heads of the schools of treating religion as "just another subject." This attitude is most harmful especially if ...

Conflict Resolution for Ismailis
GOOGLE.COM -- Mawlana Hazar Imam, Madagascar, 2003: "Remember that Islam says: try to find compromise in your conflicts, so that each may retain their dignity. Islam does not say: there must be a winner and a loser. And if, in your differences, you seek absolute victory, and in these differences there are losers, these losers are marginalised, they lose their position in society, they have great difficulty in rebuilding a sound future. Thus, I ask the Jamat today, when you have differences between you, find solutions of compromise so that each may come out of the situation with their heads held high, that none can say of such and such family or of such and such individual that it is over, they have been destroyed. This is not Islam; destruction is not Islam." (Unofficial translation from French) ...

News Flash for Digest + Ignition Search 15,000 pages from 36 Ismaili Websites and Video Channels All at Once! -- An Ismaili Digest Exclusive
Another way to think of Ismaili Digest is as "Google search for Ismailis." So, even though we only link to and display short, 60-word digests of material from 36 of the best private and institutional websites and video channels, under the hood we've also stored the full text of their material. This means you can search almost 15,000 web pages from all the main Ismaili sites -- like the.ismaili, Simerg, Roundup, AKDN, NanoWisdoms, The Institute of Ismaili Studies (IIS), Nimira's Blog, Ismailimail, etc. -- at one go. So, for example, if you want to find out what Ismaili websites and video channels have about Fatimid coins, you can do that with one search on Ismaili Digest instead of searching each Ismaili site individually. Another exclusive Ismaili Digest service for the community.

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. |
