Part 21 -- Self-control; Patience; Chastity and Voluptuousness -- Maxims of Ali
GOOGLE.COM -- It is up to you to show patience in misfortune and distress. ~~ Affliction is easily borne by one who knows how to be patient. ~~ Bear sorrows and calamities patiently otherwise you will never be happy. ~~ Acquire patience and endurance, because their relation with true faith is that of a head to a body; a body is of no use without a head, similarly true faith can be of no use without attributes of resignation, endurance and patience. ~~ Chastity is a strong fortress. ~~ Joy begins voluptuousness, but ruin ends it. ~~ Shun even the baseness that would bring you to your heart's desire. ~~ Beware of too strong a passion for women, and be not greedy of pleasure. In the first case you are ...

IIS.AC.UK -- [ISMAILI DIGEST ED: Must read for all Ismailis.] ARTICLE: This summary, of the easy to read book "Assassin Legends: Myths of the Ismailis," published by the IIS, details how legends about Ismailis were "fabricated and put into circulation by Europeans." It clears up critical misunderstandings about Ismailis and Hasan bin Sabbah, such as their use of hashish -- a drug -- which would have been counter-productive to successfully completing discrete and delicate missions Ismaili fidais undertook. ...

Faith and Marriage: Better Together?
IFSTUDIES.ORG -- My research indicates that couples are substantially more likely to report being happy in their relationship when both partners attend church regularly than when neither partner does. Couples in which both members attend church are more likely to say that they often pray together. We [also] found that shared prayer is the most powerful religious predictor of relationship. More powerful than denomination, religious attendance, or shared religious friendships. In simple terms the couple that prays together, flourishes together. And new research from Harvard, tracking thousands of middle-aged women, found that women who regularly attended church were 47% less likely to divorce than women who did not regularly attend church. ...

VIDEO: Presentation on Cosmopolitan Ethics and Pluralism: Why does Hazar Imam say both have been misunderstood? | Ignition Proposal
PART 0 -- While cosmopolitan ethics sounds very complicated or arcane, in this presentation, we offer a practical, comprehensible, highly praised perspective about it, based on Hazar Imam's clear explanations. Then, building on that, we reconsider the relationship between cosmopolitan ethics and pluralism, suggesting why, as Hazar Imam himself has also had to point out, the two have been fundamentally misunderstood. Due to these misunderstandings, we discuss why pluralism degenerates into license, or unrestricted individual freedom, and undermines morality. And, finally, we conclude with a comprehensive collection of Hazar Imam's quotes highlighting his explicit judgments against morals and values which are inconsistent with our Ismaili Muslim value system.

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. |
