The Aga Khan's Remarks on Palestine & Israel
Aga Khan: Today, the world is divided into theocracies and secular states. Sometimes people talk – quite rightly – about the three nations which are, each in its own way, theocratic, namely Iran, Israel and Saudi Arabia. If they were to change, you would have a different world. If I dare say it, politics should be left to politicians, and God to God.
Lafaye: Doesn’t the Israeli constitution,…

Esoteric Hajj: From the Physical Ka'bah to the Living Imam
Esoteric Hajj: From the Physical Ka’bah to the Living Imam
Come, I will show you that which is truly the House of God,
Not what you imagine to be the House of God.
Is a House of stone more sacred than the chosen guide
[Muhammad] who established the House?
Sayyidna al-Mu’ayyad al-Shirazi
(Diwan al-Mu’ayyad, tr. M. Adra, Mount of Knowledge, Sword of Eloquence , 189)

"There are those who say that faiths divide. This may be true. But today we must explore every opportunity to have different faiths come together in addressing the problems of our respective societies. We come from the same common religious heritage, descendants of Abraham, and it is enjoined on us to address the problems of society on the same ethical premises." – Imam Shah Karim al-Husayni Aga Khan IV, (Ismaili Imamat and Government of Portugal ‘Protocol of Co-operation’ , December 19, 2005) #Ismaili #Ismailism #AgaKhan #AhlAlBayt #ProudIsmaili #HazarImam #OneJamat Please visit www.ismailignosis.com or ask.ismailignosis.com or visit our Facebook page www.facebook.com/IsmailiGnosis for more gems about Mawlana Hazar Imam, the Imamat, and Ismaili history and philosophy. https://www.instagram.com/p/B6lPnr3hm3m/?igshid=1xnbdin5e3lrt

“Just as the Son of Man came not to be served, but to serve and to give his soul as the price of liberation for many” Gospel of Matthew 20:28. “Responsibility is a burden which we love. I received from my grandfather heavy responsibilities, but they are not weighty. It is not a burden. It is a pleasure to devote oneself to such a community, to work for people. Responsibilities are a burden we love to bear.” – Imam Shah Karim al-Husayni Aga Khan IV,(Elle Magazine Interview [translation from French], August 20, 1969) Read more at: https://ismailignosis.com/2017/12/24/the-quranic-jesus-and-the-historical-jesus-a-messianic-prophet/ #Ismaili #Ismailism #AgaKhan #AhlAlBayt #ProudIsmaili #HazarImam #OneJamat Please visit www.ismailignosis.com or ask.ismailignosis.com or visit our Facebook page www.facebook.com/IsmailiGnosis for more gems about Mawlana Hazar Imam, the Imamat, and Ismaili history and philosophy. https://www.instagram.com/p/B6d90YehsNK/?igshid=1u7f8r8e5ioap

“Why would homogenisation be such a danger? Because diversity and variety constitute one of the most beautiful gifts of the Creator, and because a deep commitment to our own particularity is part of what it means to be human.” - Imam Shah Karim al-Husayni Aga Khan IV The Peterson Lecture, Annual Meeting of the International Baccalaureate (Atlanta, USA), 18 April 2008 http://www.nanowisdoms.org/nwblog/8435/ #Ismaili #Ismailism #AgaKhan #AhlAlBayt #ProudIsmaili #HazarImam #OneJamat Please visit www.ismailignosis.com or ask.ismailignosis.com or visit our Facebook page www.facebook.com/IsmailiGnosis for more gems about Mawlana Hazar Imam, the Imamat, and Ismaili history and philosophy. https://www.instagram.com/p/B6TOx4PBu4F/?igshid=3orpiftqbj13

"World and faith are inseparable in Islam. Faith and learning are also profoundly interconnected. The Holy Qur’an sees the discovery of knowledge as a spiritual responsibility, enabling us to better understand and more ably serve God’s creation. Our traditional teachings remind us of our individual obligation to seek knowledge unto the ends of the earth - and of our social obligation to honor and nurture the full potential of every human life.” - Mawlana Hazar Imam, Dhaka, Bangladesh, May 20, 2008 www.akdn.org/Content/661/ #Ismaili #Ismailism #AgaKhan #AhlAlBayt #ProudIsmaili #HazarImam #OneJamat Please visit www.ismailignosis.com or ask.ismailignosis.com or visit our Facebook page www.facebook.com/IsmailiGnosis for more gems about Mawlana Hazar Imam, the Imamat, and Ismaili history and philosophy. https://www.instagram.com/p/B6L0G-DBMkz/?igshid=d7kpxwsja68w

"The Ismailis have always prided themselves on their highly developed social conscience. Our faith teaches us that we have obligations far beyond our own or even our family’s interests…. By the way you conduct your daily lives, by the compassion you show to your fellow men and women, and above all by your faith in God, you will ultimately be judged." - Imam Shah Karim a-Husayni Aga Khan IV Takht Nashini (Enthronement) Ceremony (Mumbai, India), 11 March 1958 http://www.nanowisdoms.org/nwblog/1068/ #Ismaili #Ismailism #AgaKhan #AhlAlBayt #ProudIsmaili #HazarImam #OneJamat Please visit www.ismailignosis.com or ask.ismailignosis.com or visit our Facebook page www.facebook.com/IsmailiGnosis for more gems about Mawlana Hazar Imam, the Imamat, and Ismaili history and philosophy. https://www.instagram.com/p/B6I_FCUhvS7/?igshid=1hx696f1d71jj

"Follow the clearest path—may God grant you success in bringing together what we recite to you from the exoteric (zahir) and the esoteric (batin)—and whenever you face difficulties, return to the one whom God chose as the best guardian for your guidance. As the exoteric and the esoteric are like body and soul, when they come together benefits are accrued, goals are realized and, by means of the senses the soul comprehends the marvels of the world and deduces gnosis of the Creator from the existence of the creation." - Imam al-Mustansir bi’llah, (Majalis al-Mustansiriyyah, comp. al-Maliji, tr. Shafique Virani, The Ismailis in the Middle Ages, 177) #Ismaili #Ismailism #AgaKhan #AhlAlBayt #ProudIsmaili #HazarImam #OneJamat Please visit www.ismailignosis.com or ask.ismailignosis.com or visit our Facebook page www.facebook.com/IsmailiGnosis for more gems about Mawlana Hazar Imam, the Imamat, and Ismaili history and philosophy. https://www.instagram.com/p/B5-yoeIhG_y/?igshid=1va3r8g6laerf
