“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 #DJAC2018 #OurAmericanJourney #IsmailisOfAmerica #IsmailisInAction 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.
