GOOGLE.COM -- There were three hidden Imams between Imam al-Nizar and Imam Imam ala-Dhikrihi al-Salaam during the dawr-i satr in Alamut. One Syrian manuscript, whose author and date are unknown, "is the only available Syrian manuscript which gives the same genealogical tree of the Nizari Imams as the one accepted by the modern Ismailis."

Avoiding Stupidity is Easier than Seeking Brilliance
FS.BLOG -- Most of us are amateurs but we refuse to believe it. This is a problem because we're often playing the game of the professionals. What we should do, when we're the amateur, is to invert the problem. Rather than trying to win, we should avoid losing. This was a point Charlie Munger, the billionaire business partner of Warren Buffett, made in a letter to Wesco Shareholders. Munger wrote: "Wesco continues to try more to profit from always remembering the obvious than from grasping the esoteric.... It is remarkable how much long-term advantage people like us have gotten by trying to be consistently not stupid, instead of trying to be very intelligent." ...

MAYOOSHIN.COM -- For 15 years, Dan Buettner -- a National Geographic researcher and New York Times best-selling author -- has been exploring the healthiest and happiest places in the world, to uncover the secrets of happiness. The Danes practice Hygge: the art of creating an atmosphere of relaxation and togetherness: candlelit tables, family time, reading, playing games, and social interactions without electronic distractions. Costa Ricans live in close-knit communities and get together each day to watch sports and play music, gather for meals with their families on the weekend, and regularly practice their faith.

Leadership in Fatimid Times
GOOGLE.COM -- HEINZ HALAM -- The dai must combine in himself all the ideal qualities and talents which may separately be found in the people of different professions and standing.... He must possess patience (sabr), good theoretical education (ilm), intelligence, psychological insight, honesty, high moral character, sound judgement, etc. He must possess the virtues of leaders.... He must be in possession of the high qualities of the priest, because he has to lead the esoteric prayer of his followers.... The ideal dai is expected to have an almost encyclopaedic culture: logic and philosophy, history and geography belong equally to his accomplishments so that he may be equipped for any discussion among scholars, prepared for any argument, and unbeatable in any field of erudition. ...

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. |
