News Flash for Digest + Ignition How to Help Seniors in Your Family Get Connected and Enjoy On-line Jamati Events
Despite COVID-19, most of us are able to keep in touch with each other and Ismailis around the world though the weekly, on-line Jamati programmes many countries have launched. However, with Jamatkhana closures, many seniors are now completely disconnected from the Jamat, with the exception of family phone calls, because they don't have tablets or smart-phones. We think this situation can be solved very easily if every family purchases and sets up a tablet for the few seniors in their family (the highly rated Amazon Fire HD 8 Tablet is just US$80). It's also, of course, an ideal way for the young in your family to connect with their grandparents. Here's how you ...

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.

44th Imam - Abu al-Hasan Ali - by Mumtaz Ali Tajddin
GOOGLE.COM -- Imam Abul Hasan Ali was the first Ismaili Imam to emerge slowly from obscurity after Alamut's fall. He was governor of Kirman during the Afsharid and Zand periods, highly learned, a friend of the local Sufis and patronized the local artists. A few chambers of his residence are reported to have been decorated with a rare collection of the Iranian paintings. When the Mughal emperor Aurengzeb (d. 1707) reportedly persecuted the Ismailis in Gujrat and Sind, most of them took refuge in Iran. Some returned afterwards, but many settled and died in Kirman. Their graves still exist, with dates written in Khojki script. When Aga Muhammad Khan massacred a large number of the local inhabitants in Kirman, the Ismailis were however ...

Tuesday's Teachings (From Life) The Missing Tile Syndrome
YOUTUBE.COM -- PRAGERU -- I would like you to imagine sitting in a room, looking up at a tiled ceiling. And you notice that one tile is missing - just one. What would you concentrate your vision on? What would you look at the most? The answer of course, is the missing tile. We can replace a ceiling's missing tile and once again have a perfect ceiling. But this doesn't apply to life. Most of what is missing in our lives, or what we think is missing, cannot be replaced. For that reason, concentrating on the missing tiles in your life is a big problem. Let me give you the example that taught me ...

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. |
