Ismailism is a mahdab

So just today ismailism was attacked for being a sect of islam and not a mahdab. What a common misconception. First we must classify what a difference between a madhab and a sect is. Madhab in Islam litterally means "school of thought" while a sect means "a group of people who have deviated from the major teachings of islam". As long as a muslim follows the five pillars of Islam they belong to madhabs and ismailism do follow the five pillars of Islam. Of course the way they follow the five pillars of islam is alot different because they believe in the deeper meaning of the quran. For more information on "ismailism and the five pillars of islam" please look at the last blog

According to your blog you said you people are muslims how can you say that you people don't pray five times a day, no Haj,no fast in Ramadan, zakaat and jihaad.
Ismailies don’t fast in Ramadan ismailies fast twice or thrice in a year it is called shukerari beej it means when your chand raat i.e. first night of the month falls on Friday (shukerwaar) then you ismailies fast that day only. There is no concept of your ginans in Islam to purify the soul and there is no concept of so called noor in Islam.
Ginans are written by your pirs they (pirs) used to go to temples of hindus (mandirs) in India and they sing and dance e.g. pir shamsdeen’s ginan “peer nachine kanthi ginan re, ma ema samjawine gura kahchere ma” and they converted Achoot hindus in new religion called ismailism, your root comes from Hinduism there is no connection in any way between Islam and ismailism, you ismailies don’t follow 5 pillar’s of Islam and 6 pillar’s of Imaan.
In other website “http://shiaimamiismailimuslim.blogspot.com/” where you mention Chanta Ismailies say that when we take chanta from mukhi he forgives the sins by asking maula (your imam). In Quran Allah says: LA YAGFIRUL ZUNOOB ILLALLAH means “no one forgives sins but Allah”
You also said that Allah has created everything in pairs eg 2 hands, 2 legs, 2eyes that is not true Allah has created 1 heart, 1 nose, 1 mouth, 1brain and 1 sun and stars and clouds are millions so your point is illogical so there can be only one Qibla.
We are writing this because we know about ismailism as we were ismailies and Alhamdolillah Allah give us hidayat and we pray that May Allah give all ismailies hidayat too. (we feel pity that you all are brain washed and we are 100% sure that you ismailies know that you are not muslims ). If you want to comment on this or have any question on Islam we will be pleased to answer your queries.
We advise all ismailies to watch peace tv English and urdu so that you people know what is Islam.

Mukhi Saheb dissipate our sins for (the period from) morning to evening by sprinkling drops (of water"i.e. Chantta"). If any person amongst us cannot attend the Ismaili Jamatkhana every day, he can get his sins atoned by getting the drops spinkled (on him) by Mukhi and by drinking 'GHATPAT' (holy water) on Fridays against payment of money in the Ismaili Jamatkhana, and if anyone cannot attend Ismaili Jamatkhana on Fridays he can get the sins of or the whole month condoned by means of the said ceremonies on the night the moon is sighted, against payment of money.

The mode of our worship is:- The Hazir Imam (H.H. The Aga Khan) gives us a 'Word'/ISM-E-AZAM for which we pay Rs.75/- the worship whereof we perform in the later past of the night. For atonement of worships for 5 years we pay Rs.500/-, for 12 years Rs.1,200/- and for Life Membership (to get the worships for the whole life pardoned) we pay Rs.5000/- in the Jamatkhanas. NOORANI: To obtain the 'noor' (light) of Hazir Imam (H.H. The Aga Khan) we pay Rs.7,000/- in the Jamatkhanas, whence we got the 'Noor' of Hazir Imam (H.H. The Aga Khan). FIDAYEEN: To get ourselves pardoned on the Day of Judgement (Qiyamat) by Hazir Imam (H.H. The Aga Khan) i.e. (linked) towards the expenses (to be incurred) for getting our 'Noor' linked with that of the Hazir Imam (H.H. The Aga Khan) we pay Rs.25,000/- in the Ismaili Jamatkhana. NANDI: (Auction) We call charity as 'Nandi' (Auction) The best dishes prepared in our homes, clothes of finest kind and ornaments we contribute as 'Nandi' (Auction) are auctioned by the Ismaili Jamatkhana people and the proceeds are deposited in the Ismaili Jamatkhanas.
