Hey Salim, I am addicted to your videos and watching continuously for 8 hours during my job time. Really really thankful for all of your efforts and time.
This proves that he is only speaking on his own interpretations and opinions. Why can’t people see that? A lot of his information is incorrect and then he calls me unqualified 😂 wow
@@PaPa-ko1vg if he is caught out lying through his teeth, which he has as I have caught him out on lies now countless times throughout each episode, or in some cases at the very least he has stretched the truth or manipulated such negative events or statements to meet his own objectives fuelled by hatred in order to bring people down for their beliefs. Out of pure hate. This is wrong! He clearly does not know what he is talking about and the entire thing is based of endless assumptions made about this practise due to his own lack of understanding and knowledge on the matters he is preaching. Leave the Ismaili people alone! And they in turn will leave you alone which they have been doing for years, they keep to themselves and you should do the same. It is so simple to have peace in a society, have some respect. If you disagree with their way of practise just ignore it. Don’t try and destroy the entire thing due to personal hatred. Which is exactly what he wants to do. Imagine if someone did that to your own way of practise. How would this make you feel? Disgusting behaviour
Hi Salim, I've been watching your TH-cam series and I noticed that usually you post your sources in the links to your TH-cam video. I was wondering if it is possible for you to post a link to the didar manuscript where Sultan Muhammad Shah says "This was the hand"? I am not able to find it online. Also - you mentioned that the Atlanta mukhi incident was in the press. Could you post a link to the article? Thanks in advance!
@@salimlalani It was in this particular episode. (at around 38:45) where you recount the story of when Imam Sultan Muhammad Shah in his Didar said "This was the hand". If you don't have it in your records, no problem, but I was just trying to find a source to verify this because I was not present at this Didar.
I have a lot of Shia Itnaashari friends since childhood. They DO NOT BELIEVE, MAULA ALI IS GOD. Astaghfirullah, they cannot even dream about it. A humble request to you to rectify this silly mistake. Thanks
There are some Shias who have corrupt beliefs, especially in India and Pakistan. But, that does not make the Shia fiqh incorrect. It is Shirk to believe that Maula Ali (as) is God Nauzobillah as per Shia Twelver faith. That is a Nusairi belief. He is an Imam and a guide after Prophet Muhammad (saww), thats it.
There is a very important point that you either deliberately ignored or inadvertently overlooked, and that is the British connection. I don't know enough to draw a conclusion but it is a fact that the British tried very hard to corrupt and divide the ardent Muslims that existed at the time of India take over by the British to minimize the Indian resistance. Maybe you can elaborate on this. How could the agha khan roam around Europe womanizing and enjoying life if his followers were to adhere to traditional clothing? He had to make them look like himself so that they wouldn't criticize him. It would slowly look normal. But I see a British hand in this also.
If you ask Salim to elaborate he will not do this for you in the comments. But your comment is very interesting, I am British and I do not agree to what the British have done in the world when the British empire had control over many countries including India. My mother is Indian and my father is from Kenya, therefore I am the first generation to be born in the west. Naturally, I conformed to some British ways such as dress. Let me remind everyone that in the prayer hall, it is now an opinion to wear traditional clothing. Women still put the head scarf on and men still wear their traditional clothing if they want too. And I think everyone should have the right to choose. A lot of people like the way people dress in the west, I know I do. Even in less economically developed countries such as India, men wear suits and woman wear dresses, it is seen all over the world, not just in the west. And after all, it’s just cloths isn’t it? It’s all material stuff that doesn’t even matter. When you die will you take those cloths with you? Of course not. I know many Muslims that are not Shias that follow this way of living also and no one attacks them in the manner Shias are getting attacked now, and especially on this channel.
To be very frank and sincere: Salim Bhai, it takes guts to do what you are doing. People may find you irritating, but twhat you are doing is 'the struggle for righteousness'. Every person in life has to deal with this. Never feel depressed for what you are doing. May Allah bless you and all people that want to do right.
@@keddydanson4050 he does not have accurate facts. At all. Please do your own individual research before believing everything he says. He can’t even use the correct terminology. It is not Aga khanis, it is Shia imami Nizari Ismailis. For someone who was high up in the community he should know this
I wonder what happened to part 12? I can’t see it all of the sudden! I was going to watch it after binging the rest of the episodes, which by the way every episode of this series is so incredibly informative and eye opening, thank you so much for putting this out there and sharing your knowledge, getting clear answers is difficult especially when missionaries will often give vague answers if any and a lot of sources online are vague themselves as well.
Dear Mr Lalani, i would really like to know what is the music at the beginning. If you know the full title i would be very grateful if you provide it. Many Thanks
Br Salim...I beg to differ with you: You mention the Shias believe Prophet saw the hand of Ali A.S in MERAJ.!.It is not rue at all please correct on that..Thanks and salaam..
Great work Salim bhai. Would it be possible to send me the link for episode 12 via email. Please thank you. If so let me know so that I can send you my email
Please Mr. Lalani, do your research please before making statements like 'Shia's believe that Imam Ali is God, that's shirk'. Maybe the Ismailis believe that not us. They are the misguided ones.
You generalise on all Shias which is wrong. You call us Aga Khanis when the correct name is Ismaili Nazari Muslims. Stop generalising your statements please. And Ismailis do not believe he is God. Take it from an Ismaili like me who questions his faith daily since 2009, I do not agree with some out dated practises however, we do NOT believe the Imam is god. It’s as simple as that. We believe he has the ‘noor of Allah’. Also the fact that Mr Lalani stated that ‘Shia’s believe the Imam Ali is God’ is evidence enough to suggest he has the wrong end of the stick completely on this faith and has done for nearly all his life. Which is a sad thought indeed. Let me remind you that this is only HIS interpretation on this matter and people shouldn’t take it as the ultimate truth until they do their own in depth research.
Same happened to me, when I was young, I was told that during dedar Aga Khan came to know by his own that who is non Ismailis in dedar hall and he pointed out 5 people and asked them to leave. In 2017 after some years I went to Dedar, ofcourse I was not Ismaili at that moment but I wanted to see what's going on and no one including Aga khan came to know I was not Ismaili. This kind of stories are made by Ismailis to delute other Ismalis making them belive that Aga Khan is God or have direct connection with God and see things beyonds human. In Ismailism there is a Relegious school, where teachers narrates this kind of stories to children.
Good job. Please do not fold your hands to someone who would not listen to you. Ask from Mighty Allah he will open the doors for you and you will see everything will fall through.
You are right we all need to help each other. But my point of view is. He will help you go through this and inshallah some where you will get a response which would say labaik
Let me also add that EVERY religion or faith has a social aspect to it. Look at the Sikhs for example. The social aspect is important for identity, for unity within the jamat and community, and to meet loved ones weather they are related or not. What is so wrong with dancing? Smiling?
obviously you have a lot to say i give you two choices one is come and give me an interview on my channel, so that me and people like me can learn from you and put forward our viewpoint second is stop posting unqualified comments let me know
@@salimlalani Like always Salim, you haven’t addressed anything specific I have said, and you only address the ‘obvious’ - I want you to address my questions I have asked you, and address ME for not correcting your incorrect information in your videos, I have a lot to say because you have a lot wrong with your information in pretty much every single video. Firstly I’m a graduate student so I’m far from unqualified, I would love to have an interview with you, however I am in a different country so this is not possible. If you ever find yourself in the UK please hit me up for a coffee and I’ll be happy to engage in an interview. However let me just ask, what makes me unqualified to you? Because I’m young? Because you think I have lesser knowledge on the esoteric faith you are trying so hard to bring down? So far you have not managed to answer ANY of my questions at all, which only proves to me that you are basing this whole channel on your opinion and not accurate facts! Your interpretation of this faith is unique, but it is only YOUR interpretation and you are trying to pass it off as the truth to thousands who have not been able to do their own research on this faith, which is wrong because it simply is not the way you say it is. You have repeatedly said the wrong terminology which indicates that you are the unqualified one here not me, and when others try and tell you the correct information (not just myself) they get shut down or you simply choose not to engage with those comments, but the comments that do not challenge you, you ask them to “keep them coming”. This to me is someone who has hatred running through their body, and Islam does not teach us to hate one another does it?
Shaaz I assume you are a ismaili? And if you are then again you are another ismaili who will not tolerate anything misleading about this so called aga khan. Bring facts to the table and answer Salim’s questions. As an ex ismaili, I can’t believe how people blindly follow this guy and are willing to not question his decisions. I tried and was shut down every time by his puppets in the jamat khanas, so I left and Allahumdullilah I am very happy that I found true ISLAM.
An informative video, narrated in very interesting style. Salim bhai, what you have narrated in the video, suggests that your jammat khannas are not at all an Islamic place of worship. If you are not agree with my assertion on the agha khani jammat khan please give reasons why those jammat khanas should deserve to be called Islamic place of worship.
This is simply not true and what Salim has done is made everyone think the JK is a nightclub. In his own words he uses the word ‘club’ which can be misunderstood by many and assumed to be a nightclub type venue for partying as the main objective. However this is simply not the reality. The prayer hall and social hall are separate spaces. In the hall you are not allowed to swear, wear shoes and the front of the prayer hall faces meca just like any other Islamic place of worship. The atmosphere is absolutely peaceful. Only after the prayers are finished the social hall opens to serve hot Tea and Small refreshments to those who have come out to pray. Some haven’t had their dinner yet as they have come to JK, others in the community are lonely and some are elderly, therefore coming to a place where you can simply just drink some hot Chai with a friend after saying prayers is absolutely beautiful to have. We should cherish every moment possible with those we love and respect, as one day they won’t be there anymore. So as an Ismaili I say with confidence that Salim has tried to stretch the truth. On special occasions yes we dance, but who doesn’t? I think it is very important to have a social aspect to a faith, it keeps the community close to each-other, and only amplifies love and affection.
I want to clarify that Shia Twelvers do no believe that Imam Ali (as) is God (Nauzobillah). I am a Shia Twelver and have studied Shia Islam. It is Shirk to have this belief. Even if Imam Ali (as) was present during Meraj the Shia belief is definitely not this. It could be an Ismaili belief. Please clarify this in your next video. For Shia Twelvers Imam Ali (as) is Masoom, but is not at the same level as Prophet Muhammad (saww). We definitely believe that Imam Ali (as) is superior to all the other Prophets, but his status is below Prophet Muhammad (saww).
But all other prophets are superior to non-prophets. And Ali r.a was not a prophet. Allah swt praised other prophets by name in the Quran and raised their status. How can Ali r.a be superior to Prophet Musa, Isa, Ibrahim etc. please study more and come to the path and sunnah of Muhammad saw.
@@PaPa-ko1vg That is the Shia belief. You may want to disagree with it and thats fine. The main point was that Shia Twelvers don't consider Imam Ali (as) to be God. That was the belief of the Nuseris, Alawis, and now Ismailis. Whether Ali (as) is superior to other Prophets or not is not a very important point. As Muslims, Shias believe in all Prophets of Allah, also believe that Prophet Isa (as) is alive and will come back to this world.
I also want to add that Twelver Shia Muslims do not believe that Allah has any material/physical aspect so any mention of the 'hand of God' or 'face of God' in the Quran is not literal. Allah (SWT) is beyond such a description, and associating any physicality to Allah is also shirk. I would appreciate it if there's a correction on this point as well, and that in the future there is a distinction made between Twelver Shism and Ismailism.
@@zehra2517 Absolutely right. The only similarity between Twelver Shias and Ismailis is the belief in Imamat. And the fact that a lot of Twelvers in the West and the Sub-continent are Khojas, just like Ismailis, but that is an ethnic trait. Other than that Twelver Shia's practices are just like any other Sunni (not Salafis/Wahabis). There has to be made a clear distinction between Ismailis and Twelvers and the term Shia should not be loosely used for both.
@@PaPa-ko1vg - Prophet Ibrahim after going thru many tribulations was later termed as an Imam per the Quran. Please do due diligence and do some research on Imam Ali. Why did the Prophet consider him the best suited to give his only daughter’s hand to Ali? Where was Ali born? Why was he given an esteemed place for his birth? Ignorance can be very costly. There is so much information available hence do yourself a favour trust me.
Salim bhai, all the khoja boys who were studying with me in mumbai, then Bombay, came from well to do, middle class and upper class families. They were an educated group, where the families, including the women, were well educated. But still when it came to the Aga Khan, they did consider him as a descendant , and as god's representative on earth, and had no problems in giving their hard earned cash to this scam. ( at least I , as a non muslim , considered that even then). How do you explain, when they had so much faith in this , what you and I , call this racket?
Mr Aiyer - here are some pointers you can subtly use to ask your friends: There is constant pressure not to think 'outside the box.' There are continuous events happening either as religious functions, or as Ismaili-centered-social functions and "you'd be wrong not to participate", and this begins while the child is still in the womb! Here's a one year events glimpse - 52Fridays, 4 satada (each 7 days but subtract Fridays so) 24 days, 12 Chandraats, 12 Mowla-jo-rojo 12 Naumi Raats, 12 Bayatul-kahyals, 52 Jumma-raats, 3 life, 3 qurbani, 3 roshnai, 3 Khushiali (I know there are other higher majlasis but I don't know how many and how may times) which total 185 precious days that Ismailis just cannot miss otherwise they'll go to hell. This basically amounts to every other day being a compulsory observance religious day. So you can see the pressure to keep the Agakhanis tightly shut inside the JamatKhanna box and keep them there. They don't even have time to think any otherwise - peer into the flamboyant and philandering lifestyle of their Godly Family - Those are heavenly souls and can do no wrong. If they drink alcohol. it turns into water before the glass even it touches their hand!! And by-the-way the above list does not even include all these other minor Holydays.
Villaini Bhai I went to sunni Mosque today and ask Imam over to pray for you. And gave him USD 35. I tried to negotiate but he said that a rate going in Dallas area. Now I do not know whether he is going to use this on himself or his family or build a school in Somalia.
@Shahid Kinnare. Good for you. But I doubt the $35 you claim to have given will be used towards buying an island or a yacht or aeroplane. I doubt it will be used to buy a bottle of champagne.
Have you ever asked your JK for the receipt for the money you paid for Dasood ? First put your own house in order than worry about your neighbor and moreover since you have donated money with good faith it's between you and the God almighty ( if you believe in Allah)
@afgluda: I am sorry I couldn't find your reply. So I responding her. To start with let make we know our history. First civil war in Islam was against the hour of Prophet Mohammed. Even during the time of Prophet Mohammed their were two Islam one for Hazrat Umar and other for Salman Farsi. Quran say and I quote oh Mohammed take their Alms and give them blessings so their sin can be forgiven. In 2015 a big conference was held in Amman and Ulma were iveted from all over the world and they declared that Ismaili are Muslim. Please read that declaration. I will keep on educating you if you are open minded on it. If not than as Quran say your religion with you and mine with me. No hard feeling.b
unlikely, because both trust AK as God, one can deceive, other cannot. However when you raise this question I didn't knew the purpose of volunteer standing on head of Mukhi, never noticed. thanks for bringing up this question.
May I ask if an AgaKhani in India talks about MAULA who are they referring to? In my conversations with my AgaKhani friends they sometimes refer to Maula.
Nobody force you to pay dashond, its an offering, if you don't pay you can still attain all the ritual. but if you don't pay state taxes you will be face charges or impression. in this case you will never question state that how you spend my money.
Noor, please understand your own faith system before you post comments. 12.5% is mandatory. It is one of the pillars of Ismaili faith. If you dont pay you kill your Imam according to Sultan Mohd Shah. All other financial practices are propagated by the system. Then its a case of monkey see monkey do. Lastly, why would a spiritual child pay a father? Does'nt common sense dictate it should be the other way round? By the way I am willing to have chat with you in case you wish to correct me.

Hi.why they lies about Imam Ali .you related to shia .they are lot's of lies about shia They say .shia have different Quran They say .shia saying Gabriel by mistake gave وحی. To prophet mohammed instead of Imam Ali . That time Imam Ali was only 9 years old . Unfortunately .you repeat the same thing .why you related all lies of Agha khan to shia . Agha khan Dosen't believe to any thing .except himself as a ....... Best wishes . Doing great
The Arabic root of masjid is "Sajada", which means to prostrate on the ground. During the muslim rule in Spain, the Spanish romancised Masjid to "Misquita", which then became the English "Mosque".
Yes all shia muslims and I say muslims don't believe that Imam Ali AS is God (nazubillah). He is the first imam. Secondly I don't think Shia muslims believe about the hand coming out. In fact the belief is that the prophet came back with the biggest gift from Allah swt and that is the 5 wajib prayers.
Musawer and Razia Just like Agakhanis there are Shias who do believe in Mowla Ali's divinity. So please dont push your beliefs on my channel. you believe what you want to believe and let others do the same. I am working to stop Agakhani abuse not arguing on belief systems. I hope you will help me by not creating issues. Salim
@@salimlalani salim brother the shias who believe in mola ali's divinity are called nusairi & the mainstream twelver shia's themselves do takfeer of them.the twelvers don't consider them muslims.
Agakhani ladies wearing tight revealing short skirts, showing their thighs and chest is completly fine. They are just following the Sunat (Tradition) of Agakhan's family hoping to get blessings and Khanavadan from Hazir Imam. I have seen many men staring at those types of ladies in Jamatkhana without blinking their eyes. Some ladies even though they have done dua karavi with Mukhiyani but they also go to Mukhi when there is not much traffic. I have seen Mukhi taking extra time to give double the duas while holding their hands.
You are right Mr. Lalani I remember one Al-waiz Mentioning the Miraj story In Jamatkhana when the hand came out from behind the curtain Prophet SAWS saw a ring in his hand that He SAWS had gifted Hazrat Ali on one occasion when I heard this I was baffled
@@salimlalani all religions are simply a way of life. Yes you make some major ontological commitments, but when you boil it down it’s a set of beliefs to guide you through life. Life any other belief system, but we just make the claim it’s from God to give it more strength. What you call spiritualism I call Sufism. What you call tranquility I call Salah. It’s one of the same.

Salim, somewhere in early 80s a person Jafferali Virani from Bandra Mumbai started ILLAHI COMMITTEE inviting Ismailis and others to his lectures on The Right Path to ALLAH’S ISLAM. As you rightly often, say the Ismaili Leaders and Clergy panicked and started looking down on all who listened to him. Once just out of curiosity my Grand Father, my Father and I attended one such meet in a Hall in Bandra, close to where we stayed. Had many Ismailis in attendance. Jaffer Virani had calm and peace on his face, speaking softly, no theatrical stunts of raising his voice and physical gestures and not a single word against Aga Khan !!! Attended two more after gaps. Again not a word against Aga Khan !! Only Allah, The Quran, The Prophet and his Hadiths !!! The Ismaili leadership panicked because they felt if reality dawned on the listeners there could be an exodus. I do not know what happened to the Committee after Virani expired. But you both are crusaders on smae path but of different types and different approach. ANYWAY ALL THE BEST. MAY YOU SUCCEED.
Great work Salim Bhai; excellent narration and very sincere, eye opening - Jazakallah Khair! I am stuck at episode 11 as can't find 12, and do not want to skip to 13. PLEASE RECLAIM episode 12 so we are able to watch it. Thanks again; I pray - May Allah (swt) guide you and Yours, and keep you all safe - Ameen!
Very emotional at some point.Mr.Salim you should not be apologistic to Agha Khan.You are doing very well.! a jihad by words!! This is again an eye opener!!All this seem a shoping mall or mina bazar of which the benificire is Agha khan! All mushrikana believes!!! May Allah keep you safe and with strength!
I think few initial episodes were part of your efforts of exposing Aga Khan from your little knowledge which you have acquired but in later episodes its about your vendetta I didn't found much difference between you and Talibs when you start explaining mini skirt and thighs of girls.
Aga Khanis are the Shia Imami Nizari Ismailis - surprised that you having had high standing in the Ismaili community did not know this basic fact. Your family are still practising Shia Imami Nizari Ismailis !
I agree with this statement, however Mr Salim will not admit he is wrong and you are right. Instead he will ignore your comment or try and tell you to stop posting comments. However It was him who said “all comments are welcome, good or bad”.
Well worth the wait and what an episode it is. I am really impressed by your sincerity in putting this wealth of information together for us. You have so much to tell and we have so much to learn about our AghaKhani friends and neighbors. It saddens me that out of respect, I cannot even mention to my Agha Khani friends your videos, yet I would like them to explain what goes on inside the Jamat Khana, and the role of Aghan Khan and Muhkhis, and of course the strange beliefs. Any idea how to approach a close Agha Khani friend on this issue without offending them or losing friendships? Thank you so much, and take care.
@@fawadkhan7688 You know how it is these days, you cannot tell even a family member such a thing let alone a friend. But I will give it a thought first. We both are in very simillar real life challenges and lonely. At least we comfort and console each other and I hate to loose that. May be I am wrong, but I still want to take time in approaching him on this. I just remember that at our mosque here in Texas, there are a few families that have left Agha Khani belief a few years ago, and joined mainstream Muslims, Alhumdollilah.
@@salimlalani That seems very likely, and it is sad. I will think before giving it a try. And I know that conveying him this will be the right thing to do, rest is his choice.
@@fawadkhan7688 maybe you should do your own research first before showing someone information that is bias to a one sided argument that is fuelled out of personal hatred
Again Urdu is not the language of Muslim Umma. Hindustani is widely spoken in subcontinent which is simple , does not contain heavy Sansakrit/Arabic/Persian words. Urdu and Hindi are dialects of Hindustani. Or better Arabic version or titles.
Salim bhai - your project is most commendable in opening everyone’s eyes to the truth about Ismailism. One point I should correct about the Miraj event you spoke about if I may. The part about the hand of God reaching out to the Prophet being that of Imam Ali being a mainstream Shia belief is untrue. Allah SWT would never manifest himself through a human form. Yadullah or hand of God is a metaphor the Quran uses and tafsir shows it refers to Imam Ali due to his valor in the battlefield, and that is likely the origin of the word as it made its way into the Miraj story. Imam Ali himself vehemently opposed any group that tried to raise his rank to almighty Allah - that is shirk in itself. Please review that part again and make any correction accordingly, thanks
You're doing a great job. Must be awarded a honorable PhD degree on Ismailisim. But later I met some Ismailis who were having reservations about Ismailisim.
Can you please tell me why you keep saying that Aga khan is Allah ? He never claimed to be and Ismailis do not think that he is Allah. They see him as an Imam not God. Just need a clarification please if you have any documents or anything I can read about this aspect.
Being a mason are you not also part of a cult that does worse things than you describe? You have a right to your opinions though. The behaviors you describe can be found in many religions. Religions have may similarities. Also the social aspect of religion can be of great benefit to many especially the elderly. A lot the points you have brought up I have also asked the Ismaili I knew, some answers were better than others. I respect the fact you have taken the time to think about the religion you were born into but once again religion is difficult. People must be allowed to worship in the way that suits them, so far as they are not harming others!
correct they should be allowed to practice their faith as long as they are not harming anyone. but Agakani system is extorting money from poor people via psychological manipulation that is what i am fighting against
You are saying that you have done your research and are presenting facts as you have seen. But then you come out with a totally unsubstantiated fakelore regarding what in your opinion all Shias believe happened on the night of Meraj. I would like to point you to chapter 22 of the book "The Message" by an eminent Shia scholar, Ja'far Subhani, that explains Meraj from the beliefs of the Shia school of thought. For your convenience you can read the chapter at www.al-islam.org/the-message-ayatullah-jafar-subhani/chapter-22-meraj-heavenly-ascension
@@salimlalani that's again misinformation, you are generalising for convenience as it is not your topic and since an inaccurate passing comment has been made you want it under the carpet, your research on Shia version of Meraj is not accurate neither is your generalized comment in order, clarification is in order as what you have stated is slander and no different from the acts of people you are critical about.
I also think you are very sexist towards woman. If you are sitting in the prayer hall Mr S, why are you looking at the girls? Should you not be praying yourself?
Salimbhai you are working on right direction but many obstacles in the way ho ahead visionary regal gatherings with you you made courage it's beyond the imagination today's your voice tomorrow the infinite voice will come stay safe.
Salim bhai you are jihad to fake people it is very difficult aghakhani people know it is fured but they don't talk because pressure of relative who native his family you are very brave men
You are very good narrator Mr. SALIM I like it when you said MUKHI convicted MUKHI comes and forgives sins of other people on behalf of Aga Khan ha ha Ha
Basic idea is that you ask forgiveness from the society. You tell Mukhi that you asking forgiveness from society, If society forgives you Allah will also because he Rehman and Rehim..

@Raju Tejani: That's like saying alcohol is great because it gives you a bliss, but not considering the effects of health detriment, relationship affects, economic loss and the pain of hangovers. It is also important to be honest in anything you do and not hoodwink and deceive innocents while you bathe in opulence and decadence at the expense of those that need all they have. You need to be objective and not pull wool over your eyes or bury your head in the sand so you don't see anything and pretend it just doesn't exist!
@Raju Tejani: one example Raju. Just one. Of how any Ismaili is literally benefiting. Apart from the business you’re getting from your brothers. That too, it’s not from Him directly. You could have a great network and gain business at a Country Club or a Golf club too. Anyone benefitting is him. Yeah the schools and hospitals. That’s a drop in the ocean for him, compared to what he’s making from all of you put together! So he does a bit of charity. Big deal. After all he has to answer to God! Lol.
@@evak4966 Hello. Your story seems interesting. In a previous reply from the introduction of Salim's series, you said that your father was Muslim and your mother was Ismaili. I thought Ismailis had a system like the Ahmadis that the women cannot marry from outside the sect. You left Ismailism based on the reply from the introduction of this series. When you left, did you face retaliation from the community or serious threats?
False information. Realty is different as lots of poor people helped by this money. Welfare work of Aga Khan can not be denied. You may have freedom of think your own way but asking everyone to think same with wrong information is not correct. As till now many Aga Khani and other population world wide getting benefits from what we give to our imam. Please think once again before going forward this series.
@Owais Iqbal if that were to be true why is there so much of poverty in the community? I was told by my AgaKhani friends in India that " I would be drawn to tears" if I got to see the poverty in their community. Charity is not something that one should publicise but I personally am financially supporting a dear widowed family friend in India. Not all AgaKhanis are prosperous as you would have us believe. If the movement had a social welfare system why would some in the community be unable to feed themselves?
@@timahmed5053 The poverty is not in third world countries but also in western countries where there are lots of seniors who lives in other denomination home care and never seen Aga Khan invested money for the facility.
@saleem Bhai : What is a islamic prayers? Chisti sunni goes to Jamat Khana and do their prayers in completely different way than most of the Arabic sunni prayers so does Bhai and revolving dervishes. And many other sect and denomination
Islamic prayers is that which was taught to us by Nabi Muhammad S.A.W and WHICH WAS ALSO FOLLOWED BY HAZRAT ALI RADIALLAHU ANNHU. So if nothing else at least follow Hazrat Ali
Dear Salimbhai,as you earlier said ,many critics comes and go but noany effects on Imamat, because as my virtual observations,the system systimatical prpaered the class of psycophant
Which were working continuous Ely for their faith, ant it is in every contry where shiy jamat residing because such types of psycophant may I thik get special treatment,and more and above they enjoing in society how the are different than common folk,so they have opportunities to keep the constat pressure on jamat,this is also one way to keep jamat under psychological pressuer ,second and most portant things that as you narrated Agakhan is not easily accessible to you,the qundry I'd that National chairperson not easily access in same contry deciple,but now time come that every things should be transperantly will come before the jamati people,third and most important things that,so far India is concerned not a single jamatkhanas are registere under the defined autority of govt of India,so what should be it's repurcation tomorrow if every matter to be revealed with facts and circumstances,so many issues are their which want to make a deliberation on it and it's javok as you given the example of Atlanta Mukhi,same but different the money scame case opened in India and involved the national chairperson and over a night he resigned,this matter is tentalised
Mr Lalani you made a good point of sexual immorality in Jamat Khanas ( JK) especially in western countries. Having affairs is common in this day & age where JK is more social than place of worship. I know of cases where a Mukhi, leader of JK appointed by Aga Khan, taking advantage of of vulnerable women. Women abused or abandoned by their husbands go to the Mukhi for assistance. The Mukhi will promise her help, (financial or otherwise), but with conditions. He will take her out, entertain her, give gifts, and pressure the desperate woman into sexual activity. Keep in mind the Mukhi is married and has children. The shocking part is that he will continue the ritual of forgiving sins of JK members ( chanta ritual ) while he is MORE sinner than the follower.
Salim lalani illove ur program it's true. This family and the people's around becoming reach and the followers coming poorer. Only they want man like Salim lalani who can make this followers of aga khan open their minds
Has any Ismaili has seen aga khan’s family or extended family coming to jamat khana for prayers? Do aga Khan pray?
Hey Salim,
I am addicted to your videos and watching continuously for 8 hours during my job time.
Really really thankful for all of your efforts and time.
This is humbling
Thank you
Excuse me ..you said Jesus AS performed magic. This is incorrect, No prophet practiced magic. Magic is haram. Jesus pbuh performed Miracles.
Not nice
This proves that he is only speaking on his own interpretations and opinions. Why can’t people see that? A lot of his information is incorrect and then he calls me unqualified 😂 wow
@@shaazlalani8700 I was just correcting a mistake of his, it doesn't mean he is wrong about Ismaili teachings.
@@PaPa-ko1vg if he is caught out lying through his teeth, which he has as I have caught him out on lies now countless times throughout each episode, or in some cases at the very least he has stretched the truth or manipulated such negative events or statements to meet his own objectives fuelled by hatred in order to bring people down for their beliefs. Out of pure hate. This is wrong! He clearly does not know what he is talking about and the entire thing is based of endless assumptions made about this practise due to his own lack of understanding and knowledge on the matters he is preaching. Leave the Ismaili people alone! And they in turn will leave you alone which they have been doing for years, they keep to themselves and you should do the same. It is so simple to have peace in a society, have some respect. If you disagree with their way of practise just ignore it. Don’t try and destroy the entire thing due to personal hatred. Which is exactly what he wants to do. Imagine if someone did that to your own way of practise. How would this make you feel? Disgusting behaviour
@@shaazlalani8700 are you closely related to Salim Lalani? I'm curious to see how deep you believe in his highness is.
Hi Salim,
I've been watching your TH-cam series and I noticed that usually you post your sources in the links to your TH-cam video. I was wondering if it is possible for you to post a link to the didar manuscript where Sultan Muhammad Shah says "This was the hand"? I am not able to find it online.
Also - you mentioned that the Atlanta mukhi incident was in the press. Could you post a link to the article?
Thanks in advance!
have you checked that particular episode? I did not maintain an archive.
@@salimlalani It was in this particular episode. (at around 38:45) where you recount the story of when Imam Sultan Muhammad Shah in his Didar said "This was the hand". If you don't have it in your records, no problem, but I was just trying to find a source to verify this because I was not present at this Didar.
Greetings Mr Lalani. Any idea when the next episode will be uploaded?
I have a lot of Shia Itnaashari friends since childhood. They DO NOT BELIEVE, MAULA ALI IS GOD. Astaghfirullah, they cannot even dream about it.
A humble request to you to rectify this silly mistake. Thanks
There are some Shias who have corrupt beliefs, especially in India and Pakistan. But, that does not make the Shia fiqh incorrect. It is Shirk to believe that Maula Ali (as) is God Nauzobillah as per Shia Twelver faith. That is a Nusairi belief. He is an Imam and a guide after Prophet Muhammad (saww), thats it.
Salim I am Portuguese I accepted Islam and find your serie very interesting and educative

"Salim not prepared to give up "... you made crying
sir, what is the role and rights for Women by the king's religion?
There is a very important point that you either deliberately ignored or inadvertently overlooked, and that is the British connection. I don't know enough to draw a conclusion but it is a fact that the British tried very hard to corrupt and divide the ardent Muslims that existed at the time of India take over by the British to minimize the Indian resistance. Maybe you can elaborate on this. How could the agha khan roam around Europe womanizing and enjoying life if his followers were to adhere to traditional clothing? He had to make them look like himself so that they wouldn't criticize him. It would slowly look normal. But I see a British hand in this also.
I agree
If you ask Salim to elaborate he will not do this for you in the comments. But your comment is very interesting, I am British and I do not agree to what the British have done in the world when the British empire had control over many countries including India. My mother is Indian and my father is from Kenya, therefore I am the first generation to be born in the west. Naturally, I conformed to some British ways such as dress. Let me remind everyone that in the prayer hall, it is now an opinion to wear traditional clothing. Women still put the head scarf on and men still wear their traditional clothing if they want too. And I think everyone should have the right to choose. A lot of people like the way people dress in the west, I know I do. Even in less economically developed countries such as India, men wear suits and woman wear dresses, it is seen all over the world, not just in the west. And after all, it’s just cloths isn’t it? It’s all material stuff that doesn’t even matter. When you die will you take those cloths with you? Of course not. I know many Muslims that are not Shias that follow this way of living also and no one attacks them in the manner Shias are getting attacked now, and especially on this channel.
@@shaazlalani8700 just denounce Ismaeli belief and submit to the Only One Creator if you seek guidance. Clothing is a minor issue.
To be very frank and sincere: Salim Bhai, it takes guts to do what you are doing. People may find you irritating, but twhat you are doing is 'the struggle for righteousness'. Every person in life has to deal with this. Never feel depressed for what you are doing. May Allah bless you and all people that want to do right.
yes this is a struggle
The only people who would find SalimBhai 'irritating' are the deniers of facts!!
@@keddydanson4050 he does not have accurate facts. At all. Please do your own individual research before believing everything he says. He can’t even use the correct terminology. It is not Aga khanis, it is Shia imami Nizari Ismailis. For someone who was high up in the community he should know this

@@salimlalani 🤣🤣🤣
Please Mr. Lalani, do your research please before making statements like 'Shia's believe that Imam Ali is God, that's shirk'. Maybe the Ismailis believe that not us. They are the misguided ones.
this is exactly the problem
everyone else is misguided and we are right
You generalise on all Shias which is wrong. You call us Aga Khanis when the correct name is Ismaili Nazari Muslims. Stop generalising your statements please. And Ismailis do not believe he is God. Take it from an Ismaili like me who questions his faith daily since 2009, I do not agree with some out dated practises however, we do NOT believe the Imam is god. It’s as simple as that. We believe he has the ‘noor of Allah’.
Also the fact that Mr Lalani stated that ‘Shia’s believe the Imam Ali is God’ is evidence enough to suggest he has the wrong end of the stick completely on this faith and has done for nearly all his life. Which is a sad thought indeed. Let me remind you that this is only HIS interpretation on this matter and people shouldn’t take it as the ultimate truth until they do their own in depth research.
Respected ,Salim bhai,to whom webelive
Br. Salim, I doubt all the money goes to Imam, mukhee and other sycophants must be taking their shares under the table?
More than likely people working in secretive Huzur dept
Same happened to me, when I was young, I was told that during dedar Aga Khan came to know by his own that who is non Ismailis in dedar hall and he pointed out 5 people and asked them to leave.
In 2017 after some years I went to Dedar, ofcourse I was not Ismaili at that moment but I wanted to see what's going on and no one including Aga khan came to know I was not Ismaili.
This kind of stories are made by Ismailis to delute other Ismalis making them belive that Aga Khan is God or have direct connection with God and see things beyonds human.
In Ismailism there is a Relegious school, where teachers narrates this kind of stories to children.
Brother lalani Allah is with you alhumdolillah and the proof is people are listening to you with utmost seriousness. MASHA ALLAH. Sohail Karachi.
I wish they come to my help
Good job. Please do not fold your hands to someone who would not listen to you. Ask from Mighty Allah he will open the doors for you and you will see everything will fall through.
I agree Allah will help but do we not have responsibilities

You are right we all need to help each other. But my point of view is. He will help you go through this and inshallah some where you will get a response which would say labaik
12 episode kedanh waee? Where is ep 12?
Let me also add that EVERY religion or faith has a social aspect to it. Look at the Sikhs for example. The social aspect is important for identity, for unity within the jamat and community, and to meet loved ones weather they are related or not. What is so wrong with dancing? Smiling?
obviously you have a lot to say
i give you two choices
one is come and give me an interview on my channel, so that me and people like me can learn from you and put forward our viewpoint
second is stop posting unqualified comments
let me know
@@salimlalani Like always Salim, you haven’t addressed anything specific I have said, and you only address the ‘obvious’ - I want you to address my questions I have asked you, and address ME for not correcting your incorrect information in your videos, I have a lot to say because you have a lot wrong with your information in pretty much every single video. Firstly I’m a graduate student so I’m far from unqualified, I would love to have an interview with you, however I am in a different country so this is not possible. If you ever find yourself in the UK please hit me up for a coffee and I’ll be happy to engage in an interview. However let me just ask, what makes me unqualified to you? Because I’m young? Because you think I have lesser knowledge on the esoteric faith you are trying so hard to bring down? So far you have not managed to answer ANY of my questions at all, which only proves to me that you are basing this whole channel on your opinion and not accurate facts! Your interpretation of this faith is unique, but it is only YOUR interpretation and you are trying to pass it off as the truth to thousands who have not been able to do their own research on this faith, which is wrong because it simply is not the way you say it is. You have repeatedly said the wrong terminology which indicates that you are the unqualified one here not me, and when others try and tell you the correct information (not just myself) they get shut down or you simply choose not to engage with those comments, but the comments that do not challenge you, you ask them to “keep them coming”. This to me is someone who has hatred running through their body, and Islam does not teach us to hate one another does it?
Shaaz I assume you are a ismaili? And if you are then again you are another ismaili who will not tolerate anything misleading about this so called aga khan. Bring facts to the table and answer Salim’s questions. As an ex ismaili, I can’t believe how people blindly follow this guy and are willing to not question his decisions. I tried and was shut down every time by his puppets in the jamat khanas, so I left and Allahumdullilah I am very happy that I found true ISLAM.
An informative video, narrated in very interesting style. Salim bhai, what you have narrated in the video, suggests that your jammat khannas are not at all an Islamic place of worship. If you are not agree with my assertion on the agha khani jammat khan please give reasons why those jammat khanas should deserve to be called Islamic place of worship.
They are not Islamic at all
This is simply not true and what Salim has done is made everyone think the JK is a nightclub. In his own words he uses the word ‘club’ which can be misunderstood by many and assumed to be a nightclub type venue for partying as the main objective. However this is simply not the reality. The prayer hall and social hall are separate spaces. In the hall you are not allowed to swear, wear shoes and the front of the prayer hall faces meca just like any other Islamic place of worship. The atmosphere is absolutely peaceful. Only after the prayers are finished the social hall opens to serve hot Tea and Small refreshments to those who have come out to pray. Some haven’t had their dinner yet as they have come to JK, others in the community are lonely and some are elderly, therefore coming to a place where you can simply just drink some hot Chai with a friend after saying prayers is absolutely beautiful to have. We should cherish every moment possible with those we love and respect, as one day they won’t be there anymore. So as an Ismaili I say with confidence that Salim has tried to stretch the truth. On special occasions yes we dance, but who doesn’t? I think it is very important to have a social aspect to a faith, it keeps the community close to each-other, and only amplifies love and affection.
I want to clarify that Shia Twelvers do no believe that Imam Ali (as) is God (Nauzobillah). I am a Shia Twelver and have studied Shia Islam. It is Shirk to have this belief. Even if Imam Ali (as) was present during Meraj the Shia belief is definitely not this. It could be an Ismaili belief. Please clarify this in your next video. For Shia Twelvers Imam Ali (as) is Masoom, but is not at the same level as Prophet Muhammad (saww). We definitely believe that Imam Ali (as) is superior to all the other Prophets, but his status is below Prophet Muhammad (saww).
But all other prophets are superior to non-prophets. And Ali r.a was not a prophet. Allah swt praised other prophets by name in the Quran and raised their status. How can Ali r.a be superior to Prophet Musa, Isa, Ibrahim etc. please study more and come to the path and sunnah of Muhammad saw.
@@PaPa-ko1vg That is the Shia belief. You may want to disagree with it and thats fine. The main point was that Shia Twelvers don't consider Imam Ali (as) to be God. That was the belief of the Nuseris, Alawis, and now Ismailis. Whether Ali (as) is superior to other Prophets or not is not a very important point. As Muslims, Shias believe in all Prophets of Allah, also believe that Prophet Isa (as) is alive and will come back to this world.
I also want to add that Twelver Shia Muslims do not believe that Allah has any material/physical aspect so any mention of the 'hand of God' or 'face of God' in the Quran is not literal. Allah (SWT) is beyond such a description, and associating any physicality to Allah is also shirk. I would appreciate it if there's a correction on this point as well, and that in the future there is a distinction made between Twelver Shism and Ismailism.
@@zehra2517 Absolutely right. The only similarity between Twelver Shias and Ismailis is the belief in Imamat. And the fact that a lot of Twelvers in the West and the Sub-continent are Khojas, just like Ismailis, but that is an ethnic trait. Other than that Twelver Shia's practices are just like any other Sunni (not Salafis/Wahabis). There has to be made a clear distinction between Ismailis and Twelvers and the term Shia should not be loosely used for both.
@@PaPa-ko1vg - Prophet Ibrahim after going thru many tribulations was later termed as an Imam per the Quran. Please do due diligence and do some research on Imam Ali. Why did the Prophet consider him the best suited to give his only daughter’s hand to Ali? Where was Ali born? Why was he given an esteemed place for his birth? Ignorance can be very costly. There is so much information available hence do yourself a favour trust me.

You are against All kind of religions procedure/approach: ISlam, Chritianity, Budism etc. Do you relise it or not?
Salim bhai, all the khoja boys who were studying with me in mumbai, then Bombay, came from well to do, middle class and upper class families. They were an educated group, where the families, including the women, were well educated. But still when it came to the Aga Khan, they did consider him as a descendant , and as god's representative on earth, and had no problems in giving their hard earned cash to this scam. ( at least I , as a non muslim , considered that even then). How do you explain, when they had so much faith in this , what you and I , call this racket?
they are psychogically imprisoned
Mr Aiyer - here are some pointers you can subtly use to ask your friends: There is constant pressure not to think 'outside the box.' There are continuous events happening either as religious functions, or as Ismaili-centered-social functions and "you'd be wrong not to participate", and this begins while the child is still in the womb! Here's a one year events glimpse - 52Fridays, 4 satada (each 7 days but subtract Fridays so) 24 days, 12 Chandraats, 12 Mowla-jo-rojo 12 Naumi Raats, 12 Bayatul-kahyals, 52 Jumma-raats, 3 life, 3 qurbani, 3 roshnai, 3 Khushiali (I know there are other higher majlasis but I don't know how many and how may times) which total 185 precious days that Ismailis just cannot miss otherwise they'll go to hell. This basically amounts to every other day being a compulsory observance religious day. So you can see the pressure to keep the Agakhanis tightly shut inside the JamatKhanna box and keep them there. They don't even have time to think any otherwise - peer into the flamboyant and philandering lifestyle of their Godly Family - Those are heavenly souls and can do no wrong. If they drink alcohol. it turns into water before the glass even it touches their hand!! And by-the-way the above list does not even include all these other minor Holydays.

Even during the time of Prophet Mohammed their were two Islam one for Hazrat Umar and other for Salman Farsi. Quran say and I quote oh Mohammed take their Alms and give them blessings so their sin can be forgiven. In 2015 a big conference was held in Amman and Ulma were iveted from all over the world and they declared that Ismaili are Muslim. Please read that declaration. I will keep on educating you if you are open minded on it. If not than as Quran say your religion with you and mine with me. No hard feeling.b
What if a mukhee doesn't send the money to imam he received from the people ? There is a possibility. Who know who went to mukhee and when?
Aga Khan is smart, there is a guy standing on head of Mukhi writing who paid how much. In Ismailism it's called a volunteer.
What if Mukhi and the volunteer collaborate together
unlikely, because both trust AK as God, one can deceive, other cannot. However when you raise this question I didn't knew the purpose of volunteer standing on head of Mukhi, never noticed. thanks for bringing up this question.
Salim, please correct me, if I am wrong.
Then there is Kamadiasaheb too, what Mukhi knows. which makes it a pair. Fool proof scheme.

"Mosque" is the word used by Queen Isabella to describe the Islamic place of worship. An Islamic place of worship is corrrectly called a "masjid".
@Frank Jones. Quite correct but "Mosque" is also widely referred to and understood to mean Masjid.
The Arabic root of masjid is "Sajada", which means to prostrate on the ground. During the muslim rule in Spain, the Spanish romancised Masjid to "Misquita", which then became the English "Mosque".
C'mon man mainstream shia's don't believe in this Ali is God thing.
Yes all shia muslims and I say muslims don't believe that Imam Ali AS is God (nazubillah). He is the first imam.
Secondly I don't think Shia muslims believe about the hand coming out.

Salim, somewhere in early 80s a person Jafferali Virani from Bandra Mumbai started ILLAHI COMMITTEE inviting Ismailis and others to his lectures on The Right Path to ALLAH’S ISLAM. As you rightly often, say the Ismaili Leaders and Clergy panicked and started looking down on all who listened to him.
Once just out of curiosity my Grand Father, my Father and I attended one such meet in a Hall in Bandra, close to where we stayed. Had many Ismailis in attendance. Jaffer Virani had calm and peace on his face, speaking softly, no theatrical stunts of raising his voice and physical gestures and not a single word against Aga Khan !!! Attended two more after gaps. Again not a word against Aga Khan !! Only Allah, The Quran, The Prophet and his Hadiths !!! The Ismaili leadership panicked because they felt if reality dawned on the listeners there could be an exodus.
I do not know what happened to the Committee after Virani expired. But you both are crusaders on smae path but of different types and different approach. ANYWAY ALL THE BEST. MAY YOU SUCCEED.
Yes people have raised their voice in the past and will continue to do so after we pass on

The first civil war in Islam was against the house of Prophet Mohammed. So I do not think Ismaili get panicking.
@sharon walton no he was not the first one. If I remember correctly their was a family by name of 12 brothers. They were in time of Aga Khan 1
And may b questioning will lead you to b true follower, later someday. Possible.
Great work Salim Bhai; excellent narration and very sincere, eye opening - Jazakallah Khair!
I am stuck at episode 11 as can't find 12, and do not want to skip to 13.
PLEASE RECLAIM episode 12 so we are able to watch it.
Thanks again; I pray - May Allah (swt) guide you and Yours, and keep you all safe - Ameen!
thank you seebtain
i am working with youtube to get it back
Mr. Salim please Shia ithnasheri (12 Imam
Mr. Salim please Shia ithnasheri don't believe IMAM ALi a.s is God. Specify Shia Ismaili believes present imam is Ali and he is god
Very emotional at some point.Mr.Salim you should not be apologistic to Agha Khan.You are doing very well.! a jihad by words!! This is again an eye opener!!All this seem a shoping mall or mina bazar of which the benificire is Agha khan!
All mushrikana believes!!!
May Allah keep you safe and with strength!
I think few initial episodes were part of your efforts of exposing Aga Khan from your little knowledge which you have acquired but in later episodes its about your vendetta
I didn't found much difference between you and Talibs when you start explaining mini skirt and thighs of girls.
Can somebody share episode 12?
You are very gracious and honourable for your humble appeal requesting a DIALOGUE. May Allah SWT grant you Tawfeeq to handle the situation. Amen 🙏
Many many thanks
Aga Khanis are the Shia Imami Nizari Ismailis - surprised that you having had high standing in the Ismaili community did not know this basic fact. Your family are still practising Shia Imami Nizari Ismailis !
I agree with this statement, however Mr Salim will not admit he is wrong and you are right. Instead he will ignore your comment or try and tell you to stop posting comments. However It was him who said “all comments are welcome, good or bad”.
Well worth the wait and what an episode it is.
I am really impressed by your sincerity in putting this wealth of information together for us.
You have so much to tell and we have so much to learn about our AghaKhani friends and neighbors.
It saddens me that out of respect, I cannot even mention to my Agha Khani friends your videos, yet I would like them to explain what goes on inside the Jamat Khana, and the role of Aghan Khan and Muhkhis, and of course the strange beliefs.
Any idea how to approach a close Agha Khani friend on this issue without offending them or losing friendships?
Thank you so much, and take care.
IF you really are a friend of a Aga Khani, THEN you should show him this video. It would really help him if he understand
more than likely you lose a friend but you can try
@@fawadkhan7688 You know how it is these days, you cannot tell even a family member such a thing let alone a friend. But I will give it a thought first.
We both are in very simillar real life challenges and lonely. At least we comfort and console each other and I hate to loose that.
May be I am wrong, but I still want to take time in approaching him on this.
I just remember that at our mosque here in Texas, there are a few families that have left Agha Khani belief a few years ago, and joined mainstream Muslims, Alhumdollilah.
@@salimlalani That seems very likely, and it is sad. I will think before giving it a try. And I know that conveying him this will be the right thing to do, rest is his choice.
@@fawadkhan7688 maybe you should do your own research first before showing someone information that is bias to a one sided argument that is fuelled out of personal hatred
hindi urdu episods pls let each and ever person know this, thanks again
sorry dont understand
@@salimlalani I think Jason Roy is asking for your Hindi/Urdu Episodes. Please let each and every person know this. Thanks again
Why in urdu why not in Arabic as most Ismaili live in Syria and Egypt.
Again Urdu is not the language of Muslim Umma. Hindustani is widely spoken in subcontinent which is simple , does not contain heavy Sansakrit/Arabic/Persian words. Urdu and Hindi are dialects of Hindustani. Or better Arabic version or titles.
I cannot find episode 12
it has been blocked
Salim bhai - your project is most commendable in opening everyone’s eyes to the truth about Ismailism. One point I should correct about the Miraj event you spoke about if I may. The part about the hand of God reaching out to the Prophet being that of Imam Ali being a mainstream Shia belief is untrue. Allah SWT would never manifest himself through a human form. Yadullah or hand of God is a metaphor the Quran uses and tafsir shows it refers to Imam Ali due to his valor in the battlefield, and that is likely the origin of the word as it made its way into the Miraj story. Imam Ali himself vehemently opposed any group that tried to raise his rank to almighty Allah - that is shirk in itself. Please review that part again and make any correction accordingly, thanks
another fantastic episode. keep up the good work salim. you nailed it right on.
Glad you enjoyed it
Excellent episode amazing insides
You're doing a great job. Must be awarded a honorable PhD degree on Ismailisim. But later I met some Ismailis who were having reservations about Ismailisim.
People are having reservations of Ismaili for last fifteen hundred years.
Can you please tell me why you keep saying that Aga khan is Allah ? He never claimed to be and Ismailis do not think that he is Allah. They see him as an Imam not God. Just need a clarification please if you have any documents or anything I can read about this aspect.
Please watch episode 4
Ask an Ismaili child if he knows ALLAH..........and then ask this child who is Aga Khan? You’ll find your answer....
@@sohilpunjani9109 LOL. He’s not Allah Jessica. He’s above Allah. That’s why all prayers are to him😂😂
@@salimlalani i did I still don’t understand or see where he claimed to be Allah.
@@sohilpunjani9109 my child knows who Allah is but doesn’t know much about Aga Khan. Your explanation makes no sense.
OUR IMAM HE IS ISUS ISUS IS OUR IMAM. OUR IMAM IS MUHAMMAD AND MUHAMMAD IS OUR IMAM
@M.M Please educate me - what does ISUS stand for?
Being a mason are you not also part of a cult that does worse things than you describe? You have a right to your opinions though. The behaviors you describe can be found in many religions. Religions have may similarities. Also the social aspect of religion can be of great benefit to many especially the elderly. A lot the points you have brought up I have also asked the Ismaili I knew, some answers were better than others. I respect the fact you have taken the time to think about the religion you were born into but once again religion is difficult. People must be allowed to worship in the way that suits them, so far as they are not harming others!
correct
they should be allowed to practice their faith as long as they are not harming anyone.
but Agakani system is extorting money from poor people via psychological manipulation
that is what i am fighting against
Mr salim we are under lockdown in Tanzania and its been over 3 months
Are you missing JamatKhanna?
Cmon, There's no lockdown in Tz..!! BUT yes, Jamatkhanna's are closed..!!
You are saying that you have done your research and are presenting facts as you have seen. But then you come out with a totally unsubstantiated fakelore regarding what in your opinion all Shias believe happened on the night of Meraj. I would like to point you to chapter 22 of the book "The Message" by an eminent Shia scholar, Ja'far Subhani, that explains Meraj from the beliefs of the Shia school of thought. For your convenience you can read the chapter at www.al-islam.org/the-message-ayatullah-jafar-subhani/chapter-22-meraj-heavenly-ascension
Some Shia believe Ali is God whilst others dont. But remember that is not what we are discussing here.
Point is Agakhan 3 says he is God.
@@salimlalani that's again misinformation, you are generalising for convenience as it is not your topic and since an inaccurate passing comment has been made you want it under the carpet, your research on Shia version of Meraj is not accurate neither is your generalized comment in order, clarification is in order as what you have stated is slander and no different from the acts of people you are critical about.
I also think you are very sexist towards woman. If you are sitting in the prayer hall Mr S, why are you looking at the girls? Should you not be praying yourself?
What you trying to say can you talk openly so everyone can understand instead of this or that please
@ Amin Guess you need help.....
@amin lalani. What he is saying is as clear as daylight. I'm surprised that you can't see the message. Or perhaps you don't want to see it?
Love. What. U. Do. Sacrifice for humanity. And fair. And reality to. Expose Aga khan. The. Biggest. Cult. In. Life.
thank you
Very interesting and informative.
Glad you think so!
Salimbhai you are working on right direction but many obstacles in the way ho ahead visionary regal gatherings with you you made courage it's beyond the imagination today's your voice tomorrow the infinite voice will come stay safe.
Thanks a ton
God bless you please you use easy english because we can't some word because english is not my native language
farukh sahab
kya aap mujhe apna number de sakte hain
aapse mashwara chahiye
@@salimlalani hi
Salim bhai you are jihad to fake people it is very difficult aghakhani people know it is fured but they don't talk because pressure of relative who native his family you are very brave men
Ya ali madad
Many follow a particular path and call themselves Muslim.
But what actual Islam is , it is all narrated in Quran.
Please read Quran to understand Islam.
It is free, you don’t have to pay anybody anything.
Agreed 100%, Alhamdulillah. But what we did not know was what Agha Khanis believe! These videos help us to do just that my brother.
You are very good narrator Mr. SALIM I like it when you said MUKHI convicted MUKHI comes and forgives sins of other people on behalf of Aga Khan ha ha Ha
glad you enjoyed
Basic idea is that you ask forgiveness from the society. You tell Mukhi that you asking forgiveness from society, If society forgives you Allah will also because he Rehman and Rehim..
I heard the incident of white horse with hazer Imam was safeguarding the Ismailis when I was in Ebrahim Ali Bhai school, Garden West Karachi. Even One of my friend mentioned the haze Imam took the bombs in his hands.
There are quite a few of such 'wizardly' tall tales fabricated by the spin-doctors to pile-up ignorance on the blind adherents!
@@keddydanson4050 the whole Quran is full of them. It’s not just us that have these tails. And May I add that you were not there, therefore you can not say what happened for sure. No one can but the people who were present
Sir but overall the jamat is benefittingg isn’t that nice
In what way?
Raju to put it very simply it's like a casino. A few people here and there will win SOME money but the greatest share goes to the casino itself.
@Raju Tejani: That's like saying alcohol is great because it gives you a bliss, but not considering the effects of health detriment, relationship affects, economic loss and the pain of hangovers. It is also important to be honest in anything you do and not hoodwink and deceive innocents while you bathe in opulence and decadence at the expense of those that need all they have. You need to be objective and not pull wool over your eyes or bury your head in the sand so you don't see anything and pretend it just doesn't exist!
@Raju Tejani: one example Raju. Just one. Of how any Ismaili is literally benefiting. Apart from the business you’re getting from your brothers. That too, it’s not from Him directly. You could have a great network and gain business at a Country Club or a Golf club too.
Anyone benefitting is him. Yeah the schools and hospitals. That’s a drop in the ocean for him, compared to what he’s making from all of you put together!
So he does a bit of charity. Big deal. After all he has to answer to God! Lol.
@@evak4966 Hello. Your story seems interesting. In a previous reply from the introduction of Salim's series, you said that your father was Muslim and your mother was Ismaili. I thought Ismailis had a system like the Ahmadis that the women cannot marry from outside the sect. You left Ismailism based on the reply from the introduction of this series. When you left, did you face retaliation from the community or serious threats?
False information. Realty is different as lots of poor people helped by this money. Welfare work of Aga Khan can not be denied. You may have freedom of think your own way but asking everyone to think same with wrong information is not correct. As till now many Aga Khani and other population world wide getting benefits from what we give to our imam. Please think once again before going forward this series.
You forgot to add Bill Gates name who is doing lots for humanity.
@Owais Iqbal if that were to be true why is there so much of poverty in the community? I was told by my AgaKhani friends in India that " I would be drawn to tears" if I got to see the poverty in their community. Charity is not something that one should publicise but I personally am financially supporting a dear widowed family friend in India. Not all AgaKhanis are prosperous as you would have us believe. If the movement had a social welfare system why would some in the community be unable to feed themselves?
@@timahmed5053
The poverty is not in third world countries but also in western countries where there are lots of seniors who lives in other denomination home care and never seen Aga Khan invested money for the facility.
Don’t post in Urdu please you are right there are crazy people out there .
yes there are crazy people out there
does that mean we should not tell the truth?
@saleem Bhai : What is a islamic prayers? Chisti sunni goes to Jamat Khana and do their prayers in completely different way than most of the Arabic sunni prayers so does Bhai and revolving dervishes. And many other sect and denomination
Islamic prayers is that which was taught to us by Nabi Muhammad S.A.W and WHICH WAS ALSO FOLLOWED BY HAZRAT ALI RADIALLAHU ANNHU. So if nothing else at least follow Hazrat Ali
Dear Salimbhai,as you earlier said ,many critics comes and go but noany effects on Imamat, because as my virtual observations,the system systimatical prpaered the class of psycophant
Which were working continuous Ely for their faith, ant it is in every contry where shiy jamat residing because such types of psycophant may I thik get special treatment,and more and above they enjoing in society how the are different than common folk,so they have opportunities to keep the constat pressure on jamat,this is also one way to keep jamat under psychological pressuer ,second and most portant things that as you narrated Agakhan is not easily accessible to you,the qundry I'd that National chairperson not easily access in same contry deciple,but now time come that every things should be transperantly will come before the jamati people,third and most important things that,so far India is concerned not a single jamatkhanas are registere under the defined autority of govt of India,so what should be it's repurcation tomorrow if every matter to be revealed with facts and circumstances,so many issues are their which want to make a deliberation on it and it's javok as you given the example of Atlanta Mukhi,same but different the money scame case opened in India and involved the national chairperson and over a night he resigned,this matter is tentalised
Mr Lalani you made a good point of sexual immorality in Jamat Khanas ( JK) especially in western countries. Having affairs is common in this day & age where JK is more social than place of worship.
I know of cases where a Mukhi, leader of JK appointed by Aga Khan, taking advantage of of vulnerable women. Women abused or abandoned by their husbands go to the Mukhi for assistance. The Mukhi will promise her help, (financial or otherwise), but with conditions. He will take her out, entertain her, give gifts, and pressure the desperate woman into sexual activity. Keep in mind the Mukhi is married and has children. The shocking part is that he will continue the ritual of forgiving sins of JK members ( chanta ritual ) while he is MORE sinner than the follower.
yes i am hearing these
Salim lalani illove ur program it's true. This family and the people's around becoming reach and the followers coming poorer. Only they want man like Salim lalani who can make this followers of aga khan open their minds
lets hope they open their eyes
Welcome back Mr. Salim Lalani 😊
thank you
