“An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind” (Mahatma Gandhi), welcome to the world of non-violence, not similar to ‘disney land’ but merely a small philosophical village coated in white, decorated with crystals and abundant in doves; white resembling peace, crystals for clarity and pure spirit and doves for ..

The Imams The Imamate began with Ali, who is also accepted by Sunni Muslims as the fourth of the "rightly guided caliphs" to succeed the Prophet. Shia’s revere Ali as the First Imam, and his descendants, beginning with his sons Hasan and Husain, continue the line of the Imams until the Twelfth, who is believed to have ascended into a supernatural state to return to earth on judgment day.

Simple Actions, and special moments contain so much meaning and make everlasting memories.

Certain early sources, which were written by the anti-Ismaili polemicists, confuse the identity of Muḥammad with a certain non-ʿAlid by the name of ʿAbd Allāh ibn Maymūn al-Qaddāḥ, a follower of al-Khaṭṭāb who is believed to have developed extremist Shīʿa

They were Umar Ibn Al Khattab, Uthman, and Ali Ibn Abi Talib. During the Caliphate of Ali there was much fighting and eventually the Muslim world fell into civil war.

The majority of Isma’ilists live in Najran, located in the south region of Saudi Arabia, near the Saudi-Yemeni borders.
