“Indeed, God the Exalted has not abandoned you like a herd without a shepherd. He has imposed no difficulties on you in religion and you have no excuse after the path has been clearly charted and the arguments have been reinforced through His prophet and the Imams of right guidance from his descendants. May God’s peace and mercy be upon them. May God grant us as well as you success in accomplishing what satisfied Him and brings near unto Him. May He bring us and you unto Him, for we are by Him and to Him. May God bless the master of the messengers and the rightly-guided Imams, who have judged and judge according to the truth, and by it have been and are just.” -Imam al-Mansur billah Inside the Immaculate Portal, trans. of Mansur al-Azizi al-Jawdhari’s biography of al-Ustadh Jawdhar, the Sirat al-Ustadh Jawdhar, Edited and translated by Hamid Haji, p. 49 #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.

“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.
