NanoWisdoms - Extend. Quotes His Highness the Aga Khan on the Left
Aga Khan: It's a fascinating situation in Africa because there are in the continent three different tendencies. There are States that are building free democratic societies, there are States that are building some kind of socialist society without actually being socialist, and there are completely socialist States. Nicholas Tomalin: Do you find left-wing political attitudes are a danger to your Faith? ...

Why you should walk away from your problems
OZANVAROL.COM -- Mathematician Andrew Wiles became a celebrity after proving Fermat's Last Theorem -- which had remained unsolved for more than three centuries. When he got stuck -- which was often -- Wiles stopped, let his mind relax, and go for a walk by the lake. "Walking," he explains, "has a very good effect in that you're in this state of relaxation, but at the same time you're allowing the sub-conscious to work on you." Solutions to complex problems often come as a subtle whisper -- not a big bang. To perceive the whisper, you must walk away from the problem and create space for interior silence to oppose contemporary chaos. ...

Religious Architecture: Wong Dai Sin Temple, Canada
ARCHDAILY.COM -- The Wong Dai Sin Temple houses a dynamic Taoist community committed to their inner spiritual development through the ancient physical practice of tai chi. The Fung Loy Kok Institute of Taoism needed a new spiritual home in suburban Toronto that had to reflect not only the heart and soul of their religious beliefs but also the modern contemporary world of their congregants. The daily worship of one of the world's ancient religion of Taoism is embedded in the fabric of this modern sacred space. This new temple building demonstrates asymmetry and counterbalance while maintaining its equilibrium much like a measured tai chi pose. Inside the ...

News Flash for Digest + Ignition Nimira's Blog - On Faith (via Ismaili Digest)
During a visit to the Aga Khan Library, Nairobi, after reviewing some pamphlets on our faith, Mawlana Sultan Muhammad Shah remarked that people did not have time to read big books, but such pamphlets were quickly read and, therefore, more effective. Today, this is perhaps even more true, and we can't think of any Ismaili website, institutional or private, who has implemented the Imam's advice more brilliantly than Nimira's Blog. Since Nimira Dewji launched her blog, in early 2019, she has already written, by herself, over 250 articles on Ismaili history and Muslim civilisations. The short, but always interesting pieces, are routinely among the most popular pieces published in the community. If you read nothing else, you owe it to yourself to read Nimira's Blog.

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. |
