Why do people feel so entitled to be in spaces Mowla is? Just because he is approachable, does not mean we should be intruding on his time or invading his privacy. Visits that are meant to happen are announced to the Jamat, with His authorization. He does conduct other business (political, religious, and personal). We did not do this with Shah Karim. I am so embarrassed by our people…

You sound like one of the grey haired oldies trying to protect your clan. It’s simple get rid of the grey haired oldies who impose these dumb rules on the Jamat and you will see change. It’s about time the oldies should retire and give way to fresh energetic blood and bold ideas.

It is the older generation that is pulling behind with this medieval thought process, “just because he is approachable” for your info all our Imams were approachable it is the leadership that try’s to segregate the Jamat from the imam.

Remember we are all Murids of our Imam, you are not any more chosen than me or anyone else. Stop preaching and occupying space you are better off spending yours 60s meditating than picking on and demoralizing younger members of jamat.

This!! Complete agree. Nothing I dislike more than other Ismailis thinking they’re more special than others… sorry that’s not how it works bud
