So live long! Bring glory and prosperity to the times, If they do not prosper by you, may they be ruined!

Q&A: Do the Ismaili Imams only marry western women who are models? In this short article we debunk this myth and shed light on the reasons behind the Imam’s choice of whom to marry and why he only marries non-Ismaili women.

The reason why Ismaili Imamate evolves & modifies our religious rituals & behavioral rules is that dynamism is the spirit of Islam. Islamic ethics & hikmas never change but their application as hukhms (rulings) must change with times under Imams just as they had evolved in Quran

“ I think the message of Islam, is the dignity with which we must treat women in society. Now, the notion of how that happens in practice, is very much a question of interpretation. But the basic premise, is the dignity and equality of women in society.”

What is Awwal Sufro?
A murid symbolically presents the first table spread (sufra) of the Jamati’s mehmani offerings to the Imam of the Time, evoking the Jamat’s love and devotion to the Imam. This is based on Quranic teaching to ‘compete in good works’.
