SubhanAllah! Every word spoken is the truth of reality of the 'Cult'. It is an Agakhani cult no doubt about it, and nobody can deny it after knowing the truth of fake Imam./ MayAllahSalaam/peace.

Why don’t you check his lineage do you know what that word means??? When are you so cold or not as a Muslim your not here to judge any one or anything.

[@ADF366]

Ok so this boggles my mind. Ppl pay 12.5% to this 'leader' to avoid going to hell, and no one thinks this is a scam, while Khan is one of the richest ppl in the world? The definition of a scam is paying non stop payments to any individual or party despite your situation. Same as Qadiani fees. May Allah give guidance to all those fooled.

[@salimlalani]

[@saifalikaredia9109]

My perspective First of all being Ismaili, I do not relate not paying dasond with hell or paying dasond with heaven. My thought process is paying dasond is long term investment with thousand fold returns. Do you agree that your forefathers and other people of Ismaili community were poor/farmers back in Indian villages and struggled to make their ends meet, but were still paying Dasond? They paid Dasond and believed in Imam and outcome is that their next generations(not talking about 100 families but the entire community) are well educated or have migrated to USA/Canada/other countries and are no longer in such situations. I have seen how my life has changed when I compare it with my forefathers and I am thankful for them to keep strong hold on pillars of faith, dasond, etc. and it is because of this, I will continue to pay Dasond and follow faith for the better future of my generations. I do not care how Imam uses my Dasond, but I am proud to say if a very small section of my forefather dasond was used to help Ismailis in 1972 Uganda crisis or my current dasond is used to help non ismailiis around the world via AKDN or helping ismailis in poor situations. FYI :- Nice try.... It was fun to watch the above video. Hope you contribute some money to your friend from revenue generated by views or advertisement :P

[@persolu3680]

To be fair, people from Indian ancestry, including Khoja/Gujarati people, who moved to the west normally become economically successful, whether they are Ismaili or not. And it's interesting you say that you don't care how Aga Khan uses your dasond money and you'd be happy if only a small proportion of it goes to good causes. Asking no accountability of him is giving him a higher status than Muslims gave the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings upon him). And this is one of many ways that ismailis put the Aga Khan above the Prophet. Anyway I'm glad that you feel some benefit from your community. I personally feel like a freer person now that I don't have a blind loyalty to a man of questionable character who I've never met before.

Where in the Quran or sunna does it say that if you dont pay aga Khan it would result in a person ending up in jahanum ?

[@Sabirjumani1981]

I like the way you present ..though couldn't get your exact motive behind this ...being a common men I barely care about what my old/dearest friend personal thoughts r , I could have help him instead of stopping him paying dasond that could have make my life more easier , Quick questions 1, any ismaili book in record shows agha khan himself writing himself God? 2, any Ismaili religious book reference that demand dasond by hook or crook un conditional ? 3, being a financial specialist you must have evidence of your own work that evaluate your work n performance for agha in past when you were doing your job and counting mureeds incoming ? This is a healthy discussion first question will help me way find your way of perception vs reality Appreciated

[@salimlalani]

Dear Sabir I wish all my viewers were like you. Wanting to have a healthy discussion. Lets start with my friend. Your suggestion was to help him personally instead of stopping him from paying dasond. Sabir I was only trying to make him financially independent on me or anyone else. If he were to stop paying dasond he would not need help. Regarding other questions you will need to watch the whole series. It will not only answer all your questions but will provide evidence you are looking for. Kind regards Salim

[@Sabirjumani1981]

Salim appreciate u consider me , even my own blood relative lets take mother father would have ever come to me for help or tell me or convince me to help on any perspective if they came for n intention that m some one who will help them n once I try to speak a word and they shut the door on me I swear that was the last relation on planet for me, I would have ever turn back on any thing ........look we don't have so called warden to live 100 years today even a freind like taxi driver know what u thinking about practices ...my point is do u carry an idea to move forward instead of doing free marketing for n entity ?

It takes alot of courage to speak out, the system is so well structured that its pretty much impossible to think out of the box, from being born in an aga khani hospital to get educated in aga khan school to die in a aga khani graveyard, I am so glad that my family stopped following when I was 5, and remember the grief they got from other family members, now most of my extended family are out sadly few are still stuck in system and its just too difficult for them to leave due to various reasons like loosing good friends and support by community and children could get divorced or kicked out of their houses because of the actions by parents.

[@mohabatkhanmalak1161]

I was born in Uganda, East Africa and we had there a community of Agha Khanis (also known as Khojas). In childhood in the 1960's early 70's, we used to hear our parents mentioning the Agha Khan and he seemed to be some misterious figure. In late 1972 we left Uganda (due to Idi Amin's expulsion order) and were evacuated to a holding camp in Spain, where we had afew Agha Khani families in our group. At the time as a 13 year old we heard about "Prince Sadrudin Agha Khan" as being the head of the UNHCR in Geneva. A lot was happening in our camp but what we know is that many of the Khojas/Ismaili families chose to apply for Canada as their first choice of settlement. I can only surmise that messages were passed through their underground network. Some in our Spain group including my family ended up in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, UAE, which was not right as this country was not a signatory of the UN Convention on Refugees and we started facing problems there as soon as we landed. It was a fiasco with all the wars, corruption and lack of transperency there. Not satisfied with the UNHCR office in Beirut, I later wrote to the head himself "Prince Sadrudin" in Geneva, and I did get a reply but it was just diplomatic and basically said to help ourselves. I thought of this man as just another human being but there was a mystery around him, the "Prince" title and the way he is recieved by heads of states etc. I am Sunni muslim and to us monotheism is paramount. I knew a little about the Khojas as there is no literature about them, but you have brought a lot out, people need to know in this age of information. This is the difference between us and our forefathers 100, 200 years ago.The prophet SAW did not own fine horses, palaces and lands or gold and silver.

As a Muslim you need to study the Holy Qur'an with its authentic commentary. You need to study the biographies of the Holy Prophet Muhammad and his twelve Rightful Successors (peace and blessings of Allah be upon them all). Then you compare your Imam/guide /leader in the mirror of the Book of Allah, the sunnah of the Holy Prophet and his twelve Rightful successors/vicegerents (peace and blessings of Allah be upon them all). Do not be scared to ask questions. Do not be a blind believer. If you are following a wrong guide or a leader without a thorough investigation, you will ruin your hereafter and there is no question for having a second chance either. The best gift Allah has granted us human beings is aql (common sense). Do not be stingy or economical with it.

While this comment is long, nonetheless, it may be of interest to anyone who has an open mind to facts. Salim Lalani's presentations appear to be respectful to the subject matter. And they also appear to have good intentions behind them. However, his efforts involving his personal subjective interpretations on Aga Khan, have to be interpreted with both an open mind, and also as an act of his personal sincerity to others; if it has to have any educational and positive benefits. As long as Salim Lalani focuses on historical facts including "the historical context" behind them with sincere intentions; he will be doing a "sattvic seva", a personal act of sincerity - which is very consistent with the ancient Indian wisdom. Examples of what I mean by emphasis on historical context behind the facts: 1) Historically; Shia Ismaili Imams, have never self imposed their spiritual leadership authority on their followers. Nor have they imposed the secular guidance on their followers. 2) If "some" of the Shia Ismaili Imams history is very vague, the reason is that Ismailis in general and their Imams in particular, were historically being prosecuted by majority others due to Ismailis emphasis on "esoteric interpretations of faith". This resulted in a practice of "taqqiya", a common sense practice at that time, which forced them to remain in hiding for their protection and welfare of their families. But that "taqqiya" practice also involved leaders of the community of that time being witnesses to the events "whose trust cannot be discounted when they vouched the validity of their Imams". 3) The Shia Ismaili Constitution is the guiding document that makes references not only to the historical circumstances, but also to the Shia Ismaili doctrine of Tawhid (belief in one God none other then Allah) including the traditions with regards to the leadership of Ismaili Imamat. Therefore, the constitution should be read in the full context basis and "not on cherry picked basis". Otherwise, it has "a serious potential to be misunderstood and misconstrued". 4) Historic tradition of the Ismailis, in accepting and following the guidance of their Imams, has benefited the community as being one of the most progressive traditions within the Umma. Other very specific benefits being: open minded in the esoteric interpretation of faith, very respectful and tolerant of other traditions within the Umma and other faiths, emphasis on the use of intellect when interpreting their faith and other daily activities, maintain balance between din and duniya, etc. My suggestion to Salim Lalani is that his videos can potentially have benefits, if he continues focusing on historical facts as well as genuine "historical context" behind them. And for that, I humbly request he be sincere in his intentions.🙏 As a benefit to all the interested readers, a very important message: If any member of the Ismaili tariqa, the tariqa's secondary leadership or any other person who intentionally interprets the Ismaili Muslims faith and it's core beliefs other then as articulated in the guiding document of the Shia Ismaili Muslim's constitution; such a member, the secondary leadership or the person is not only misrepresenting the facts as intended; but is also doing a great dis-service to the Ismaili faith in general and the Shia Ismaili Muslim's Imam in particular. The later also being referred to as the current Aga Khan. A note to the readers: All quotation marks in my comments are simply to emphasize some important points for the benefit of clarity.

[@amynpabani3365]

Ali bhai, with all due respect I disagree with your arguments in defending the institution of Imamat. Here is my response to your arguments 1. Aga Khan, after he arrived in India did impose authority over Khoja community. There are many historical references and court cases available to review. You may refer and read court proceedings involving Aga Khan during British rule in India. Please refer to Ismaili Dua which was recited in Jamat Khanas before 1957. Imam was called to be Mahesh, Brahma and Vishnu (worshipped in India as gods) and of course Ali Sahi Allah (Ali true god) Aga Khan III even claimed in a Farman made in Zanzibar in 1899 that the current Quran is incomplete and he had the actual copy of Quran. Check the attached farman if you can read Khojki ibb.co/N9pR8N3 But this is irrelevant, what actually matters is even if they did not impose their authority, how does it make them equal to Allah (SWT)? No Ismaili can deny the fact that in JamatKhana Ismailis raise their hand and call out to Aga Khan to forgive their sins, give barakah in earnings (rozi ma barkat) and so on whereas Quran clearly states that our Prophet (PBUH) is Bashir and Nazeer (one who brings goods news and warns). Do you have any example during the time of Prophet Muhammad that Muslims used to raise their hands and ask him to forgive their sins in his absence? Or do you have any verse from Quran supporting such action? 2. For the sake of argument even if I accept your argument #2, how do you explain the absence of Imam Hasan from the list of Ismaili Imams. Ismaili Imamat history establishes that Ismailis and Twelvers Shia (Itha Asharis) were one community until Imam Jaffer Sadiq. According to the Ismaili history the split occurred after the death of Imam Jaffer Sadiq. At what point in history one community decided that Imam Hasan was Imam and other community decided that Imam Hasan was not Imam. 3. No comments, any community can have their own set of rules. 4. There is no denial that Ismailis are successful as a community. But most of the Ismailies are unable to understand the cost they are paying to achieve economic success. If success in life is to be measured by economic success than no doubt Ismailies are successful but there is more to life than economic success. Ali Bhai whatever you believe, it is none of my business but I request you to study Quran and then justify Ismaili beliefs in the light of Quran.

[@salimlalani]

Dear Mr Kassam I welcome your comments and I wish to assure you that my work is about spreading awareness that our faith should not be blind. I Agakhan’s case we need to ask ourselves how can someone be God when it is a known fact he has been caught twice with his pants down Mr Kassam I humbly suggest that you reserve your comments until you have watched the entire series I must admit you come across to me as a very reasonable person Great to read your comments

[@Kassam786]

Amyn Pabani, your comments are very courteous, respectful and appreciated. Thank you kindly. Since you have directly asked me, I am therefore hoping that the following response may offer you some answers: 1) We can always respectfully agree to disagree. After all, that is the beauty of subjective interpretations of our perceptions. 2) Considering that KZbin comments section is not necessarily an appropriate forum to engage into a back and forth discussion; I will therefore, respectfully refrain from doing that. 3) Yet your questions are valid and your point of view has many merits. They surely deserve to be answered. For that, may I refer you to the constitution of the Shia Ismaili Muslims? It may not have specific or all answers to your questions; but very likely, you may find some answers therein. Alternatively, it may lead you to an appropriate authorised channel that can provide you with some specific answers.

[@Kassam786]

@Akbar Lakhani, your response has many interesting and thought provoking merits. They are much appreciated. To all the readers interested in this subject matter, this comment may be long, but surely worth your time. The Shia Ismaili Muslim's tradition has a guiding document refered to as the "Shia Ismaili Muslim's Constitution". The said constitution is approved by the Shia Ismaili Muslim's Imam of the time, and clearly articulates the following: 1) The Ismaili Muslims core doctrine of the Tawhid - which is the belief in one God none other then Allah. 2) The historical and traditional references to the beginning of Imamat institution. 3) The role and the authority of the Imamat evolving not only as the Imam of time, but also implied as the Murshid of his murids. 4) Many other very relevant facts. The traditional function and authority of the Murshid in Ismaili Muslims tariqa is comparable to any other Islamic Sufi tariqas. Meaning, it also involves a spiritual bond between the Murshid and his murids upon satisfying certain requirements such as a bayah. It is therefore imperative, that the Shia Ismaili Muslims doctrine and their faith practices should be understood from the focal point of the Shia Ismaili Muslim's constitution. And it should be read in the full context basis and not on cherry picked basis. Otherwise, it has a serious potential to be misunderstood and misconstrued. Once again; as a benefit to all the interested readers, another very important message: If any member of the Ismaili tariqa, the tariqa's secondary leadership or any other person who intentionally interprets the Ismaili Muslims faith and it's core beliefs other then as articulated in the guiding document of the Shia Ismaili Muslim's constitution; such a member, the secondary leadership or the person is not only misrepresenting the facts as intended; but is also doing a great dis-service to the Ismaili faith in general and the Shia Ismaili Muslim's Imam in particular.

[@mrsanio1574]

I’m curious to know what do you disagree with about his criticism of dasond? I’ve heard many testimonies and they use techniques often employed by cults; threats of hell, emotional blackmail, indoctrination. Ismaili officials tell people all sorts of things happen if they don’t pay, and have used words like “you are stealing from the Aga Khan” for not paying. And Ismailis report that they have no right to question what he does with “his money”. They also refuse to let you pay by any method that leaves a record - no cheques, no bank transfer, only cold hard cash. And then they refuse to declare how much they take, what it is used for, and the Aga Khan shows up with private islands and a 200 million dollar yacht. It’s kind of outrageous to anyone who wasn’t conditioned since childhood to find it acceptable.

Dasond is not mandatory, however is encouraged just like ANY other faith. Whoever taught you this ideology is wrong in doing so, your information is far from the truth! The Ismaili people are one of the kindness communities who want to see real change in quality of life in the east, which is why many families pay Dasond, in order to better their standard of living in developing countries across the world. The word used by the Imam is ‘obligation’ and that words meaning differs to the meaning of the word YOU use in your video which is ‘mandatory’. Our present imam actually states that it is “voluntary”. Paying Dasond is a moral ‘obligation’ and not a ‘mandatory’ task like you have claimed it to be in this video at (24:45) The word ‘Obligation’ means that it is morally a good thing to do (just like you are obligated to look after your parents or your siblings) weather you choose to do this or not is YOUR CHOICE. Never has the present day Aga Khan said that it is ‘mandatory’ to pay this dasond like you have made out to be truth trough claiming he has taught us all to do this, which is just not true at all. Never has the present day imam said this. The word used by the imam is ‘Obligatory’ - therefore you should look up the definition of both words and actually reflect on the meaning before you start to teach others and manipulate those viewers to believe these lies. This information is highly incorrect and manipulative. Each individual chooses to give money through the form of Dasond out of pure generosity. And if you think I am wrong and can prove it please quote me exactly where, when and to what context the imam has stated it is ‘Mandatory’, I have looked and there is no such saying. Stop lying to people! In Islam you give zakat, in Christianity you give Tithe (a percentage of your earning) is the Ismaili faith we give Dasond.

@@salimlalani with respect, I’m on episode 7 and I have many many issues with what you are saying as I too have questioned the faith and was in the same place as you, and I too have sat on the pat like you have to lead religion ceremonies, however I can at least tell the truth when stating the facts. Firstly you can’t even give me a proper reply to my first comment, so I ask you why? Is it because I’ve caught you on a lie and you now don’t know what to say back to me? I think this is the case here. And that’s because the imam of the time never used the word you claim he did. The word mandatory is not in any Farman in the last 20 years in the context of dasond. May I remind you that I have put references to prove that it is optional and this indicates you have lied in this first video, and I also have proof you are not telling the truth in multiple other videos or in some cases at least stretching the truth and miss out key facts to shape others into thinking the false information is truth. You say no Ismaili will stand up and talk, but here I am. You ask the question in later videos, where does the money go? I have had first hand experience in attending Global Encounters in Kenya in 2016 and have seen the institutions he has built with this money with my own two eyes. We went into schools, we started work on projects in a sustainable way, we saw the amount of jobs he has created in the east, and above all he has taught us that sustainability is everything. That in itself is a huge blessing. Never has it ever been mandatory in my life time to pay Dasond to the imam and this is the truth. It is only encouraged through an obligation to be a decent human being, not just a Muslim. As for the help in the west, you are a mukhi like you said, for a majlis that you have to pay a lot of money to attend so why didn’t you help your friend with financial difficulties if he was struggling to feed his family? You clearly have money if you were mukhi of that kind of majlis right? I would have thought any decent friend would help his spiritual brother if he is in need. And especially if he has children. I must admit the financial aid is hard to find and far more transparency is needed within our community between the council and the public, however I say this with personal experience that my own family themselves were helped in this country by Ismaili financial aid when they first entered the country. So what you tell people isn’t actually accurate information. The Ismaili community helps eachother. This is how it has always been. But I’d like to discuss this further with you. Let me highlight that I say this with no hatred at all, only frustration in the fact that people can not see eye to eye anymore at a time where is is absolutely vital to stand together. However I can not lie that I’m quite baffled at how you reached these far fetched conclusions about Dasond and social welfare. If it wasn’t for the help my family received through social welfare my family would have starved. There were at that time 6 too 7 people living under one roof in a council house just to paint you the picture.

Ask yourself, if you are muslim whom to follow. These people are claiming to be "Imams" and descendants of the prophet PBUH but they are not. They play upon the weakness of the masses, everybody is not knowledgeable or educated in history, so they come up with the idea that Imam so and so in the 9th century did so and so. For true Islam you got to come to the Quran and the Sunnah of the prophet. Islam was not built on Imams or ahel-l-bait, it is built on the Quran and Sunnah thats it. After the death of the prophet, the enemies of Islam were hell bent on distroying Islam and if you research that period there were many wars with the kufars and munafiks. One of their melicious plans was to kill Hussain the prophets grandson. If you take a close look, all this took place in the frontier regions of the expanding muslim empire, not in the Hijaz (Mecca and Medina). Why? Because they didn't dare do that at the center where everybody would recognise them, so they played their dirty games far away in Kuffa, Egypt (the Fatimids). In Egypt they even named their nation after the prophets daughter Fatima....to fool people. The Zakat is 2.5% and most important, is due ANNUALLY. Dasond is on every paycheck and is 12.5%. Big difference, as we say "Asman aur zamin ka farak". It is shirk to worship a human. Read the Quran, follow the Sunnah and study Islamic history. Also, study Greek, Roman, Mesopotamian history and see how those people were pagan.

I think that's a lame reply they say there is always a way where there is a will, so thats means that you are just not ready to do to what you talk about and give lame excuse

@@salimlalani sorry to say then i think then every other day someone like you would put a video on social media be it an ismaili Muslim, non or confused one, and he has to meet in person & clarify his position, & everything he does, besides saying on media & private gathering (darbar/ginan/firman, his work etc.) that i am your 49th imam & direct descendent of prophet Mohd pbuh. its absurd.

IN THE NAME OF ALLAH THE MOST BENIFICIENT THE MOST MERCIFUL.

Yes. This is understandable because the Aga Khan did not bother about his own family members. Aly Shah was not the only son of Hasan Ali shah but none of the other sons nor their progeny got their equal rights. The shah Bibijani case is available for anyone to refer to en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haji_Bibi_case. How law can be twisted and rights denied to family. One who doesn’t spare his family, who doesn’t treat his family in fairness cannot be a self declared an inheritor of the legacy of imamat which began with Imam Ali (AS). Imam Ali ( AS) was the voice of human justice, the title of Mushkil Kusha belongs to Hazrat Ali Iibne Abu Talib and no one else. Salim bhai I salute you and your courage

What you think the Holy Quran said about zakat?

[@watandar2477]

Zakat is for poor people. People that needs support.

[@mohabatkhanmalak1161]

And Zakat is from those who can afford to the poor. Not the poor to the poor. And, the Sadaka tul Fitr is annually and only 2.5 percent. NOT 12 percent of every paycheck.

Brother I atmost agree with you, Aga Khan is a ruthless businessman not humanitarian person. AKF is just eyewash , in the name of AKF he grabbing millions of dollar donation on yearly basis.
