Ya Ali Madad everyone. This has been something on my chest and mind for a while. I am not sure why the JK I have been going to is becoming extremely problametic. There is always gossip specifically aimed to me and my family and like relatives. Its absolutely disrespectful and this makes me not even want to attend Khane anymore. I always defend Ismaili to my very last word and always defend Jamatkhana as I love my faith and religon so much but for the past couple of months people attending Jamakhana has made me not even enjoy it as before. There is always gossip spreading about talking to another gender when its fine if others do that, there is always people saying do not laugh too much it is disrespectful when they litteraly laugh themselves during and after dua. I don’t understand these people who litteraly come to dua with shorts and not even proper attire. I never judge anyone but now that I am seeing other Isamilis claim they are Ismailis but are the opposite of what being an Ismaili is. I honestly can not hold it in anymore. I have so much more to say but I don’t want to say anything disrespectful, this has just been bothering me.

God bless.

I have a friend who asked a jamati aunty and uncle (separately)

The question was - so you believe he is your god ? ALLAH is in him as a form of soul / spirit?

Interesting there were two different answers :-

Answer 1 from aunty- yes Allah is in imam as a soul , we communicate with imam and imam further communicate/act accordingly to the soul/ Allahs will

Answer 2 from uncle- no Allah does live in imam as a soul ALLAH sends angels to send his messages , (he further adds)imam is someone who is given throne to handle spirituality responsibility and to lead Muslims , the throne comes from ahl albayt family, our imam often keep us updated on din & duniya

My friend wants to know…what does the majority jamat believes?
