I know we got a lot of people interested in Shi’ism, specifically Isma’ili Shi’ism, coming through this site. Myself, and several others, have an interest in this group, but don’t want to make the blog about one particular interpretation. However, I have found WikiCities, and thought that might be a good place to continue a conversation on the topic. I can’t run it by myself and would like to hear if others, Isma’ili or not, would be willing to help start something up before letting the Wiki have its way. You can leave notes in comments or email me at “islamoyankee at islamicate dot com.” A Navroz launch would be nice.

Please answer the questions yourself, here, at American Street, or on your own blog. From American Street: Are you a religioius/ spiritual person? Were you born into your faith or did you come to it later? Was there a particular event in your life that changed your religious/ spiritual philososphy? Do you share your faith with others? 1. I am deeply religious. I would like to think that also means I am spiritual, but I know the two are not linked causally. Nor does saying something necessarily make it true. There is deity but God, Muhammad is the messenger of…

Why Are Some Muslims Calling to Replace GMT with Mecca Time? | Culture | Religion Dispatches. This summer, the world’s largest clock began its first official duty: marking time during Ramadan in Mecca—Islam’s holiest city. This colossal clock bears a striking resemblance to Big Ben, and the tower that hosts it (courtesy of the Canadian-based Fairmont hotel operation) is six times taller than the British landmark, making it the second tallest building in the world, visible for 16 miles. All well and good. One can marvel at human ingenuity and move on. However, what makes this case interesting is the…

Why not use the grand-daddy of wiki’s?

Good question. WikiCities is an outgrowth of Wikipedia. It’s more community oriented and is for stories, reflections, poetry, etc., that might not be appropriate for an encyclopedia, but are still important to document.
Just a cautionary note, I
suggest that you leave
discourse about the Ismaili
branch of Islam to the ismail
Institute. There is to much
hearsay. Leave the teaching
to that Institute.
Thanks

Mariam, I do not think that islamoyankee was speaking about teaching Ismailism, but rather, starting a conversation with others interested in this branch of Shi’i Islam. It could go a long way to dispelling myths and hearsay.
Mariam should first defineherasay
an and then attribute it to Simailis.
No one is going to be declared himself unsislamic
she should know well about ismailis andand islama first.

I hereby confirm that Ismailies are real Muslims in this world, because have have a spiritual leadership since creation of this world and till last judgement day. God created people with (“Hidayat”) HIS guidence. Most of Muslims sect dont have a leadership and guidence since Last Porphet(PBUH), but Allahamdulah we a real spritual leadership and guidence til qayamat”
