WHAT IS DEATH ?

The name Friday comes from the Old English frīġedæġ, meaning the "day of Frig", a result of an old convention associating the Germanic goddess Frigg with the Roman goddess Venus, with whom the day is associated in many different cultures. The same holds for Frīatag in Old High German, Freitag in Modern German, and vrijdag in Dutch.

Aga Khan IV Speeches' Ontology

Ontology refers to a taxonomy of concetps (classes/sets) and their logical relations. Although buidling ontology is not widely used to analyzse speeches, we think that it is an effective means to have a comprehensive idea of speeches we analyze.

“Al-Hamduli’llah, it is now tranquility in present age. You also become alike, not to relinquish religion. Let the body be immolated, but don’t abjure religion. Do not detach faith at the cost of the heads. Your eyes, tongues, hands must deem pure. There must be truth, truth and truth. The human having such qualities certainly figures an angel.” – Imam Sultan Muhammad Shah, 16th Sept., 1899

(1) Allah Maheria

There is a common phrase in all walk of lives that we usually say anyone at first, Khuda Tamane’ Neki a’pe’ or Khuda A’pako Neki de’ (May God grant you morality!). Similarly, while addressing the jamat, either by Mukhi/Kamadia or someone, he/she begins with the phrase Allah Maheria (May mercy of Allah be upon you!). The word maheria is a verb, means give peace or pity. Instead, the phrases Hazareen Jamat (Present Jamat) or Moaziz Saameen (Hon’ble Attendants) are also used in the jamats of other countries.

(2) Khana’vadan

“A fierce battle was waged against Imam Hussain in Karbala. He fought alone with a thousand persons. Despite suffering oppression and severe pain, he declared, “I am the Imam.” During the moment of such calamities, he did not disappear, but with mere a stick (authority of the Imamate), he penetrated the ranks of the enemies in the battle field. He did not conceal his Imamate. If the dress (jomo) of the Imam is not present, then all will become infidels. The authority of Imam Hussain is with me at present and I myself am Imam Hussain.

Greeting is a salutation of good wishes. In some languages and cultures, some words or gestures are used as both greeting and farewell.

BRIEF HISTORY OF THE SHIA ISMAILI IMAMS

Ismael, the son of Abraham had a son, Kaidar whose progeny spread over the Arabian province of

fortieth generations. Further down, in the ninth descent from Adnan, there followed Nadar bin
Kinana. Another descent in the genealogical scale and then comes in the ninth place, one, Qassi
by name.

After the fall of the Alamut in 1256, Imam Shamsuddin Muhammad (d. 1310) went to Azerbaijan, where he and his successor, Imam Kassim Shah (d. 1370) passed normal lives in simplicity. Imam Islam Shah (d. 1423), the next Imam was first to be born in Azerbaijan.
