WHo are Agha Khanis? Why are they not considered Muslims? #Ismaili #Shia #Batini #Not #Muslim #Kafir
#PrinceKarim #AghaKhan #AgaKhani #KarimAghaKhan
A revert to Islam shares beliefs of #AghaKhani which many muslims are ignorant of. Please read judge for yourself:
1 The Ismailis (followers of the Aga Khan) all professedly believe that the Qur’an was time bound and was not meant to be a Universal message for all times. They believe that their spiritual leader, Karim Aga Khan, is the “walking – talking Qur’an” and his “religious pronouncements”, whatever they may be, are the “guidance” for the present times. The fundamental article of faith that there will not be any NEW revelations or “wahy” after the Qur’an, is being completely violated by the Ismailis.
2 The Aga Khan has officially Declared himself, before his followers, as the “Mazhar of Allah on earth”. The word “mazhar” means “copy” or “manifest”. Consequently, these Ismailis who call themselves Muslims do “sujood” before him. So even the primary axiomatic principle of Tawheed is being fundamentally and formally violated by them.
3 The Ismailis are not instructed to offer the Islamic Salaah, observe Saum or perform Hajj. They have replaced Salaah with certain shirk-infested Dua’as (thrice a day). They are told that their Hajj is a personal “Glimpse” (Deedaar) of Karim Aga Khan.
4 The Aga Khan and his appointees ‘forgive the sins’ of the followers on regular basis. Ismailis are misled into believing that they will not be questioned on the Day of Judgment for the sins that are already forgiven in their Jamatkhanas (community centers). Forgiving of sins is the exclusive prerogative and privilege of Allah (swt) alone. Qur’an 3:135.
5 Against this backdrop, most of the poor (spiritually poor) Ismailis who are not introduced to al-Furqan are confused and misguided. Hence, Ismailis are very easy prey to missionary efforts by various Christian groups and Baha’is. I have known a couple of young ex-Ismailis who are today preaching “Pauline Christianity” to Ismailis as evangelical missionaries.
6 Karim Aga Khan’s own daughter Zahra having married a practising Christian has opened the gates for young Ismailis girls to follow the footsteps of a family member of their beloved Imam-e-Zaman. The parents of the Ismaili girls who wish to marry outside of Islam have no recourse but to let them go.
7 The Aga Khan has made Halaal for the Ismailis that which Allah has made Haraam for the humans. Taking of interest (usury) is not forbidden by the religious instruction classes run by the “Tariqaah” board of the Ismailis. As a matter of fact, the much publicized “Venture Capital” program (details on the website of FORBES Magazine – search under “Aga Khan”), of loaning funds on interest by the AKFED (Aga Khan Fund & Economic Development), has been a great success. Similar entrepreneurial projects are now being actively promoted and introduced to poor Muslims of Tajikistan and neighboring areas.
8 The Muslim Ummaah and the various Muslim leaders are not fully aware of these Un-Islamic acts and beliefs of this community of less than two million members, who claim to be the Ismaili Muslims. Surprisingly, their leader Aga Khan claims himself to be a spiritual leader of 15 million Muslims and a Direct Descendant of Prophet Muhammad (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam).
9 Earlier, one did not have authentic books on Ismailism, but it is not so anymore. There are two authentic books as well as one comprehensive web site exposing the inner practices of the Ismailis and the Proclamations (Farmans) of the Aga Khans. Hence, now you have no “hujjah” argument or excuse left before Allah (swt) for not taking up the task of inviting the misguided “Ismaili Muslims” towards the Deen of Allah (swt) and not safeguarding them from committing unpardonable sin of Shirk.
10 The Aga Khan in collaboration with so many Western powers and aid, has set up the world-wide Aga Khan Development Network (AKDN) which runs several institutions and service companies both in the profit and not for profit sectors. This network is very actively operating in Pakistan, India, Tanzania, Uganda, Kenya and Bangladesh, and has now started concentrating its efforts in Tajikistan and the neighbouring areas where there is a concentration of Muslims who have not known or openly practised Islam for the decades. By taking up economical, social, educational and rural development efforts through NGOs (Non-Govt. Organizations) within the AKDN, the Ismailis and the Aga Khan have gained wide acceptance amongst these countries and masses. Hence this urgent appeal.
11 Now all these beneficiaries are “obliged and grateful” to the Aga Khan and his followers and his organizations for the much-needed schools, medical centers, hospitals, various projects and programmes. In this manner they are penetrating and infiltrating the support system – and one fine day, the Muslim Ummaah will wake up to the unexpected realization that they have a community of so called Muslims, practicing the Un-Islamic Tariqaah, in charge of all core and support activities. Each of these much-needed projects will have the photos of Aga Khan decorating the walls.

#Islamic #Fatwa from #Salafi #Scholars of #KSA
What is the view of Sunni scholars regarding the Isma`iliyyah and Agha Khani (Al-Batiniyyah) sects who live in many places and most of them live in the north of Pakistan?
Question:
"What is the view of Sunni scholars regarding Al-Isma`iliyyah and Agha Khani sects who live in many places and most of them live in the north of Pakistan. Following are some of their views that explain their doctrine.
1- The word of Faith: 'I testify that there is no god but Allah, Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, and `Ali, the Commander of Believers, is Allah.' The Isma`ilis and Agha khans say these words are the word of Shahadat Al-Tawhid i.e. the testimony of belief in monotheism, and the true word of Islam.
2- The Imam: They believe that Agha Khan Shah Karim is their Imam (religious leader) who has dominion over everything; the earth, the heavens, and what is in and between them. They even believe he is the supreme ruler of the whole world.
3- The Shari`ah: They do not believe in the truth of Islamic Shari`ah. In fact, they believe that Agha Khan is the embodiment and the true tongue of the Qur'an. They also believe that he is the "Ka`bah" and "Al-Bait-al-Ma'mur" (i.e. Allah's House in the seventh heaven) and the one to be followed and no one else. Their books say that the word "Allah" mentioned in the Qur'an is the apparent term used to refer to Imam Agha Khan.
4- Salah (Prayer): They do not believe that the Five Prayers are obligatory. Only three formulae of supplication are required instead.
5- The Masjid (mosque): They take a place of worship called Jama`at khanah instead of mosques.
6- Zakah (obligatory charity): They deny that Zakah is obligatory. They instead allocate 10% of their wealth to the Agha Khan calling it as "dushond" or "Mal-Al-Wajibat i.e. money for religious obligations".
7- Sawm (Fast): They deny that it is obligatory to fast the month of Ramadan.
8- They do not believe that Hajj is obligatory, rather they believe that their belief in Agha Khan is itself Hajj.
9- Salam (Islamic greeting): Instead of the Islamic formula of greeting, they invented a special greeting. When one of them meets another, he says, "`Ali madad" (May `Ali help you!). The other replies, "Mawla `Ali madad" i.e., (`Ali is a sufficient master for help!) This is a brief note about their sayings and the `Aqidahs (creeds) they adopt.
Now I would like to ask few questions.
1- Are the Isma`ilis considered a Muslim sect or a disbelieving one?
2- Is it permissible to offer Funeral Prayer for their dead people?
3- Is it permissible to bury them in the Muslims' graves?
4- Is it permissible to intermarry with them?
5- Is the meat of their sacrificed animals lawful for Muslims?
6- Should they be treated like Muslims?
In the Name of Allah, the Great, we ask you to answer our request for Fatwa to dispel the doubts in many Muslims' minds. In the past, the followers of this sect used to hide their false `Aqidah (creed), therefore the early Muslim shaykhs called them Al-Batiniyyah (those who hide their real faith). Nowadays, they overtly call people to their false `Aqidah (creed) to lead Muslims astray in matters related to `Aqidah (creed) and for some other purposes we do not yet know.
Answer:
"First: The belief that Allah is incarnated in `Aly or in any other being is sheer disbelief that excludes a person from Islam. Likewise, the belief that any being other than Allah (Glorified be He) can control the heavens and earth, is disbelief as well. Allah (Exalted be He) says:
{Indeed your Lord is Allâh, Who created the heavens and the earth in Six Days, and then He rose over (Istawâ) the Throne (really in a manner that suits His Majesty). He brings the night as a cover over the day, seeking it rapidly, and (He created) the sun, the moon, the stars subjected to His Command. Surely, His is the Creation and Commandment. Blessed is Allâh, the Lord of the ‘Alamîn (mankind, jinn and all that exists)!} [Surah Al-A'raf 7:54]
Second: Whoever believes that there is anything to be followed other than the Shari`ah revealed to Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), is a disbeliever and excluded from Islam. The Shari`ah of Islam is the Qur'an revealed by Allah to Muhammad as Allah (Exalted be He) says:
{And (it is) a Qur’ân which We have divided (into parts), in order that you might recite it to men at intervals. And We have revealed it by stages (in 23 years).} [Surah Al-Isra' 17:106]
The Shari`ah includes the Sunnah which explains the Qur'an as Allah (Exalted be He) says:
{And We have not sent down the Book (the Qur’an) to you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه و سلم), except that you may explain clearly unto them those things in which they differ, and (as) a guidance and a mercy for a folk who believe.} [Surah An-Nahl 16:64]
Third: Whoever denies any of the Pillars of Islam or any of the well-established religious matters, is a Kafir (a disbeliever) and a renegade.
Fourth: If the followers of this sect are as you mentioned in the question, it is not permissible for Muslims to pray for their dead or bury them in Muslims' graves. Also, it is not permissible to intermarry with them, eat from their sacrificed animals, or even treat them like Muslims."
May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
