'Guardian of Faith': The Spiritual Authority of the Imam in Shia Ismaili Islam
ISMAILIWELLSPRINGS.WORDPRESS.COM -- As Quran declares, appointment of the rightful Imam is not the function of ordinary human beings, but is prerogative only of Allah, as this verse categorically declares: "And We made them Imams guiding by Our command...." In Shia tradition, there is no room for Qyas (analogy) or Istishab (association) for murids to decide who can be their Imam. Only Imam has authority - that has been bestowed to him by God - to decide who will be the Imam next to him. In Shia Islam, Imamat is a hereditary office which is transferred from one Imam to the next through 'Nas'. ...

Tuesday's Teachings (From Life) On Claiming Belief In God: Dennis Prager interviews Dr. Jordan Peterson (Video and transcript)
[H/T MOHIB EBRAHIM] -- SCRAPSFROMTHELOFT.COM -- [ISMAILI DIGEST ED: Profoundly insightful and moving.] ARTICLE: "[What's said about me] isn't what my life is like at all. What my life is like is that wherever my wife and I go, literally--30-40, many countries. If I go down the street, or in an airport, or in a cafe, or n a movie theater, or in a mechanic's shop, someone comes up to me every 10 minutes, and says, 'I've been watching your YouTube videos or read your book, and was in this dreadful place six months ago.' Then they say, 'I've been trying to develop a vision for my life.' Or, 'I've been trying to take more responsibility, and it's really working. Things are way better. Thank you.' It's overwhelming to have that happen continually." ...

The Two Big Falsehoods of Critical Social Justice
AREOMAGAZINE.COM -- [ISMAILI DIGEST ED: Hazar Imam, 2014: "Too often, as the world grows more complex, the temptation for some is to shield themselves from complexity, we seek the comfort of our own simplicities, our own specialities.... Progress is possible when complex issues are subjected to competent, intelligent, nuanced and sophisticated analysis, free from dogmatism."] ARTICLE: Critical Social Justice (CSJ) does not see reality the way the rest of us do. Many of its tenets are bizarre, blatantly false and cartoonish oversimplifications of reality. CSJ scholars and activists believe they have a much more sophisticated understanding of social justice issues than the average person. They do not. CSJ is based on two big falsehoods that perpetuate the idea that CSJ is fundamentally about goodness. CSJ is rooted in postmodern ideas that science, evidence and reason are tools of oppression and these are merely white, male, Western cultural traditions. By rejecting science, evidence and reason, CSJ cannot be falsified. This is a very neat theory and ...

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. |
