“Islam is fundamentally a natural religion. All its dogmas and doctrines of whatever sect or school, are ultimately based on the regularity and order of natural phenomena, on the natural inclination of human beings for survival and reproduction, while the religion of the West, Christianity, is based on a miraculous event and faith in miracles, that is to say, a break in that very regularity to which the Holy Koran refers on a thousand occasions." -Imam Shah Sultan Muhammad Shah Aga Khan III “What have we forgotten in Islam?” by Imam Sultan Muhammad Shah Aga Khan III La Renovation du Shi'isme Ismaelien En Inde Et Au Pakistan, By Michel Boivin, p.424 https://books.google.com/books?id=Pq10cVB3_GEC&pg=PA425&lpg=PA425&dq=%22Islam+is+fundamentally+in+its+very+nature+a+natural+religion.+%22&source=bl&ots=QXPZ722j9u&sig=ACfU3U0rHmnLTZM-inxwopZnh7MeeqIlGg&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwi1-6rCpqrgAhUAJjQIHT50BzoQ6AEwAXoECA8QAQ#v=onepage&q=%22Islam%20is%20fundamentally%20in%20its%20very%20nature%20a%20natural%20religion.%20%22&f=false #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.
“We want to make sure that we understand the evolution of the Ismaili thought, in the past. It is a religion of the brain, a religion of the mind. It is not just a religion of the soul. It is a faith of reason. And so we want to try to make sure that the philosophies of the past are well understood and can have adequate space in modern life. There is a whole context because it is a historical religion. We have an accumulation of history that is very important, and extremely pluralistic. It was formed from various parts of the world and from different languages. And today, all these communities are, in a certain sense, united in a single light, with different creeds, and these creeds are filling gaps in these countries where the gaps are not filled economically.” - Imam Shah Karim al-Husayni Aga Khan IV Expresso Magazine Interview, “This is a faith of reason” (Lisbon, Portugal), 21 July 2018 http://www.nanowisdoms.org/nwblog/10987/#more-10987 #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.

"By the Institution of the Ulu’l Amr – who can be interpreted as Imam and Caliph – and by placing obedience to Ulu’l Amr immediately after that to God and Prophet, he [the prophet] ensured that the faith would ever remain LIVING, extending, developing with science, knowledge, art and industry." - Imam Sultan Muhammad Shah al-Husayni Aga Khan III Preface to Muhammad: A Mercy to All Nations, Q.A.
