The Universal Divine Order -- BoAI Vol #4
GOOGLE.COM -- Because previous great Prophets had "Asas" who succeeded them, as Ali succeeded Prophet Muhammed, the Ismailis held that no religion could claim a monopoly of truth. This basic doctrine is the doctrine of the universal divine order. However, the view of the Ismailis differed from that of the other Muslim philosophers, in that it sprang from their belief in a universal divine and moral law governing the universe. And, therefore, for Ismailis, philosophy's purpose was to not only work out the allegorical interpretation ("ta'wil") of the revelations of the stories of Prophets, but also a complete religious system which would make intelligible the "haqa'iq" (truth) of the missions of the Prophets and thereby open the only way to salvation. Having ...

VIDEO: Why Mawlana Hazar Imam rejects relativism outright and why it confuses our youth about our values | Ignition Proposal
PART 2 -- In this two-part series we ask, "Are your values aligned with Hazar Imam's?" by looking at what are and are not our values. In Part 1 we looked at a fatal misunderstanding that prevents us from making the value judgments Hazar Imam insists we make. Here, in Part 2, we take a deep dive into relativism which Hazar Imam rejects unequivocally and which we feel is the #1 issue facing all faith-based communities, including ours, today. We explain what relativism is, its origins, how it surreptitiously infects society and why it is the source of almost all the issues not aligned with our faith's values that leads our youth to question our values. When faith is undermined, Hazar Imam says, "everything goes with it: the family, society, the individual, the intelligence." In this presentation we show how, after rejecting faith, relativism corrupts everything it touches: religion, morals and values, education, intelligence, and more.

Deep Inside, Rioters Are Angry That They Never Learned Anything But Lies
THEFEDERALIST.COM -- Our educational institutions have stolen critical knowledge from young people and replaced it with identity politics and political correctness. In 2016, Notre Dame professor of Constitutional Studies Patrick Deneen wrote "our students' ignorance is not a failing of our educational system -- it is its crowning achievement." He described his students as "know nothings," good test-takers and nice people. "Their brains are largely empty. If you ask them basic questions, be prepared for averted eyes and somewhat panicked looks. Who fought in the Peloponnesian War? ... Who was Saul of Tarsus? ... Why does the Magna Carta matter? ... At best, they possess accidental knowledge but are, otherwise, masters of systematic ignorance. Our educational system's goals are built on content-free processes and unexamined buzz-words like 'critical thinking,' 'ways of knowing' and 'social justice.'" On the surface ...

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. |
