Drawing extensively on the testimony of the Persian historians of the seventh-eighth hijri centuries (corresponding to the thirteen-fourteenth centuries of the Christian era), this article sketches a detailed picture of several personalities involved in founding the nascent Ismaili state centred at Alamūt in the fifth/eleventh century. This background sets the stage for analyzing a new manuscript source documenting Ismaili history and thought of this period, Khwāja Qāsim Tushtarī’s Recognizing God

His Highness Prince Karim, the fourth Aga Khan, has been the spiritual leader of 15 million Shia Ismaili Muslims, building a hugely effective global development network. In Chantilly, home to France’s most prestigious horse race, James Reginato explores how the press-shy, Harvard-educated prince, at 76, fuses two worlds.

It is from Islam that we in the West can extend a lot of gratitude towards, for preserving works of antiquity from being completely lost to us. This is not something to be passed over lightly, as so many people might tend to do, when considering the past. The implications here are great. Outside of the surviving schools of the Thebaid brethren, and the Jewish schools in France, Spain, and Southern Germany, intellectual culture did not exist, in the West during the so-called Dark Ages. The degradation brought upon society by the Church lasted until...

The entry of the Seljuk Turks into Western Asia in the second half of the eleventh century forms one of the great epochs of world history.

BUJE MARAG PIR SADARDIN KERA,
JO HAY SADA KABUL;
SAB NABIYO KA SARDAR HAY,
SO DULLE NABI RASUL.

O momin, the rue path shown by Pir Sadardin
Is the path accepted by the almighty ALLAH, the 'NOOR-EN-ALLAH-NOOR.' Hazrat Muhammad Mustafa Rasul S.AS. Is the 'SHANSHAH.' The 'NOORANI' crown, the head of all the PAYGAMBERS - O momins say the holy salwat: ALLAHUMA SALI ALA MUHAMMADIN WA AALE MUHAMMAD.

The ocean of Maya is extraordinarily deep and unfathomable; it could be swum in the event an ant could swim across the vast ocean! But it is possible to overcome Maya (ILLUSION) with 'THE GINAN,' with deep love and devotion to the 'NOOR-EN-ALLAH NOOR HAZER IMAM. Mowla Ali Hazer Imam -alone can shower his divine blessings, divine grace, by which the incredibly powerful Maya can be combated.
WHAT IS MAYA? AND HOW IS IT POSSIBLE TO SWIM THE OCEAN OF MAYA?

THE DASMO NAKLANKI AVTAR,
MOWLA SHAH MURTAZA ALI (A.S.)

Hazarat MOWLA MURTAZA ALI was born in Macca at Kaa'ba Shariff, the holiest place in Arabia, the House Of God. Mowla Murtaza Ali's mother was Mata Bibi Zuleikha, and father HASHAMI ABU TALIB. When Mowla Murtaza Ali was born, our beloved Holy prophet Muhammad S.A.S was thirty years of age; and prophet Muhammad was revealed as THE NABI at the time Mowla Ali was ten years old.

During the lifetime of Mowla Ali's father, Hazarat Abu Talib's, the KAFFIRS, although creating a lot of difficulties for Prophet Muhammad in his preaching of Islam, were not able to go very far with their plans. But in the eleventh year of Prophet hood, Hazarat Abu Talib passed away from this world, and the KAFFIRS planned to kill the Prophet S.A.S.
Our Holy Prophet Muhammad decided not to stay in Macca any longer and to move to Medina. Mowla Murtaza Ali and Prophet Muhammmad also advised the faithful momins to migrate from Mecca to Medina.

Mowla Murtaza Ali called all the people to the MASJIDE-RASUL, and when he took a seat on the pulpit, a member from those present passed the following resolution:

Mowla Murtaza Ali warned Muaviya, ' O Muaviya, remember you are adopting the path of 'Munafic.' How do you forget that I, with my Zulficar have destroyed many Kaffirs of Islam. I have destroyed your grandfather, father and uncle who turned their faces away from Nabi-e-Karim S.A.S. You shall go to the path of janam (Hell).'

Poet KHAKI ALEYMA RAHEMA has contributed a highly instructive 'QASIDA' on the DIVINE 'NOORANI' Aspect of Hazarat Mowla Murtaza Ali. The Qasida was originally composed by the poet in Persian and later translated into English and Gujerati. It was first printed in 1929 in the quarterly magazine 'IRAN' published in Russia.
Poet Rahema has explained in his Qasida a very deep philosophy of' JAMA,' of 'THE MAZAHARE ALLAH,' and of THE DIVINE 'NOOR' that has manifested in different physical garbs during the different ages as the 'EVERLIVING GUIDE.'

THE ALI

Illuminating upon the mystery of the divine mission, our Pir Mabaap says:

EJI ATHAR VED MAHE EMAJ BHANKHIYA,
SHAH MARO TOLE MUNIVAR NA IMAN;
OCCHA KHOTANE KADHI NAKHASE,
JEM TAMBOLE KATRI NAKHE PAAN.

In the ATAR VED it has been said that momins
Shall be tested. Those who shall ignore their sacred
Duties, their Iman on Hazer Imam shall not stay
Firm. Consequently they shall suffer: they shall be
Deprived of Holy Didar.

In INDIA, there was a king named RAVAN. RAVAN had prayed extensively, he took a promise from God in his IBADAT that he should be given power equivalent to ten brains and twenty hands. Also he demanded that his heart be filled with AMRIT (Divine Water) so that he may remain deathless. All this was given him as a reward for Ibadat.

We look through the eyes of MUKHI SAHEB, KAMADIA SAHEB, MUKHIANI MAA, KAMADIANI MAA we can behold the Holy Didar of Noor Mowla Murtaza Ali Hazer Imam. It is the Mubarak 'TASHVIR' of the ZAHER SWARUP (MANIFESTATION) of Noor Mowla Murtaza Ali Hazer Imam which has been most difficult, to gain view of, for the PIRS and PAYGAMBERS in the past. MUKHI SAHEB, KAMADIA SAHEB, MUKHIANI SAHEBIA, KAMADIANI SAHEBA, the representatives of Mowla Ali Hazer Imam, grace us with DUA-ASHISH, bless us, and forgive our sins. We are benefited greatly - materially and spiritually!

Raja Harischandra
INCREDIBLE AND AMAZING SACRIFICES OF
RAJAH HARISH CHANDRA (THE MUKHI OF TRETA YUGA)
AND HIS WIFE SATI TARA RANI LOCHNA
FOR THE SAKE OF SATPANTH RELIGION.

RAJA HARISH CHANDRA was a king of AYODHYA NAGAR in India. He was a true and sincere rule. HE had a wife; SATI TARA RANI LOCHNA was a staunch follower of SATPANTH religion and RAJA HARISHCHANDRA became a most devout follower of SATPANTH. Even the angels envied RAJA HARISHCHANDRA for his sincerity, truthfulness and integrity.
