| The Meaning of Six Days in Which God Created the Heavens and Earth | O Momins, may God guide you to the right path and may He make your abode in the place where you will not hear a useless or a sinful talk. I have told you that the thick earthly body will not rise to the skies. A belief of this kind cannot stand the test of reason. It is only the spirit which will rise and which does rise even when our body lies here during our stay in this world. It has the potential power of rising and it is not outside its province to rise in reality. | The Meaning of Six Days in Which God Created the Heavens and Earth | |
| The Philosophical Significance of the Imam in Isma'ilism | While the Sunnis believe in five pillars in Islam, the Isma'ilis raise them to seven. Al-Qadi an-Nu'man devoted the first volume of his famous book Da'a'im al-Islam to the description of these pillars and an elaboration of them. The first of these seven pillars, as al-Qadi an-Nu'man mentions, is Faith (Iman). He also calls it walaya, which means allegiance or devotion. The other six are successively Ritual Purification (tahara), prayer (salat), Alms Tax (zakat), Fasting (sawm), Pilgrimage (hajj), and Holy War (jihad). | The Philosophical Significance of the Imam in Isma'ilism | |
