A Note at the End -- BoAI Vol #1
GOOGLE.COM -- What we need today is NOT research but search. Search for missing links in the history of our Imams, search for our literature presumed lost, search for homes with such books, search for manuscripts lying in archives and museums and search for people who still hold treasures of our untold history. ~~ What of Religious textbooks? Textbooks are not written by committees. Textbook committees are usually appointed to APPROVE text books. But we have been thinking of the textbook committees in the terms of a group of writers who would write the textbooks. For four decades we have appointed such committees with no result. Appointing a person to write a textbook is not the same as appointing ...

VIDEO: Mehan (2013)
Sirojiddin Juraev, dutar and Abbos Kosimov, doira Composed by Sirojiddin Juraev (b. 1975) "Mehan" displays the virtuosic potential of the two-stringed dutar in the hands of a master as well as the prominent role of usul, the metro-rhythmic cycle played on the frame drum (doira). "Mehan" juxtaposes two different usuls: the first in 4/4 and the second in 7/8, a meter rarely ...

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) ...

His Highness the Aga Khan on fundamentalism and terrorism
Caroline Pigozzi/Jean-Claude Deutsch: Let us touch on the important subject of fundamentalism. Aga Khan: If fundamentalism means the destabilisation of a society, I am certainly opposed to it. We have taken up the annoying habit of linking each sporadic act of terrorism to the Muslim world. It is a painful confusion. The Muslim world is made up of 1 billion believers, ...

Tuesday's Teachings (From Life)
3 Types Of Books That Offer Better Advice Than Typical Leadership Books
MEDIUM.COM -- When it comes to leadership, you want a broad education. And when I say "education," I mean it in a sense that's distinct from training. The concepts often get blurred, but training is about learning how to do specific things well. Education is about broadly increasing your capacity to learn, and it may not be immediately practical. Think of it as learning to look at ideas from different angles, examining them and gaining new perspectives. You're creating questions, not answers. Here are the three types of books I'd recommend for giving yourself that education ...

No, Masculine Skills Definitely Don't Need Replacing For The 21st Century
THEFEDERALIST.COM -- Over at Ask Men, Ian Stobber listed what he considers obsolete man skills, and suggestions for replacing them. Such as replace hunting with cooking, as if it's something men have not been doing since the dawn of time. Although Western restaurant chefs are still typically male, bourgeois Western women traditionally cook for their families. But did you know in Turkey women wouldn't be allowed anywhere near meat? Stobber's advice to take up coding in place of car repair seems a bit odd, too. Computer programming is dominated by men. His most hilarious idea is men should learn to decorate instead of fixing things around the house. Don't put down your power tools just yet. We women ...

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. |
