It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell.

God bless him and his children
Prince Rahim took charge in a world torn apart by hate. His visit to Pakistan lit up the people in the grip of fear of war and division.

My heart is full ❤️💚

[Saima Saleem @saleemsaimaa]

As Hazar Imam Shah Rahim #AgaKhan concludes his visit to Pakistan, gratitude feels too small for what remains in the heart.
Imam's presence is never just a visit; it is barakah, it is reassurance.
Infinite shukrana for the love that knows no distance.
شكرًا لله والحمد لله

سلطان محمد شاہ کے تعلیمی وژن سے لے کر شاہ کریم کی عالمی فلاحی فکر، اور اب شاہ رحیم آغا خان کی توجہ مصنوعی ذہانت، ماحولیاتی تبدیلی اور ذہنی صحت پر۔

یہ صرف امامت کا تسلسل نہیں، ایک evolving worldview ہے۔

Oh the obsession with the Assasins legends!

WOW what a “fun historical fact”
Bro really went straight for the Bollywood villain arc.

Since you’re so fascinated by that one dramatic chapter, let me give you the director’s cut instead of the trailer.

The modern Nizari Ismailis are indeed the direct continuation of the same community that was once centred at Alamut but that’s just one episode in a 1400-year story. The Ismaili Imams and their followers actually led the Fatimid Caliphate, the largest and most powerful Muslim empire of its time, and the only major caliphate named after Fatima the beloved daughter of the Prophet. While the Umayyads, Abbasids, and then Seljuks were against the followers of Ali, the Fatimids created a golden age of tolerance, learning, and prosperity.
Travellers and scholars from across the Muslim world and even from Christian Europe went to Al-Azhar, the first university ever established in the Muslim world under Fatimid rule.
And if you want to go even further back (which most “Assassin” enthusiasts conveniently skip), this lineage traces directly to Imam Jafar al-Sadiq through his son Ismail, and ultimately to Imam Ali and the Prophet Muhammad himself.

Continuous, unbroken, for centuries. Ismailis have always lived with Imam of the time. Their philosophy of a guide, a manifestation of noor of allah always present living and guiding goes back even before Ali. (There are layers of depth of meanings in this concept if people open their minds)

As for the famous “Assassins” legend that entire spicy story was cooked up by the biggest travel influencer of the medieval period: Marco Polo. He narrated those tales while sitting in a Mongol prison, entertaining his captors with exotic oriental fantasies. Add to that the usual mix of political jealousy, propaganda, and smears from rival rulers who feared the Fatimids’ power and intellectual influence. Classic.

on the etymology: The word “Asāsīyūn” (أساسيون) that Westerners turned into “Assassins” actually means “people of the foundation” those who stand firmly on the Asas (أساس),. That is, the living presence of the Imam as the guide of the time, the inner truth of faith, and the eternal authority in this world.

Next time maybe read beyond the Crusader propaganda and Marco Polo fan-fiction. The real story is far richer.

@moinullahbaig I knowww. Just realized it today. I think that’s the beauty of our practice that it makes room for both acceptance and differences.
