Ismaili Flag - Green Color - Its Special Features By : Ibrahim Machiwala "The Ismaili flag contains rich green colour with a red strip descending from left upper corner to the bottom of right side, making a cross mark in the flag. The nature of the characteristics, which the Ismaili flag, acquired green and red colours (lawn) from the historical context will be explored briefly in the following lines. Green (akhdar) is synonymous with nature. For the Arabs, as for many other people, green is the symbol of good luck, of natural fertility, of vegetation, of youth. For Islam, the green standard of the Prophet and the green cloak of Ali bin Abu Talib have become the very emblems of the religion. As a beneficent colour, green belongs so naturally to the popular spirit of the Arabs that their colloquial language is full of expression where this colour symbolizes joy, gaiety or success. Green is mentioned six times in the Koran as an adjective (khudr, akhdar), vide 12:43, 46:18, 31, 36:80, 55:76 and 76:21, and once as a participle (22:63). Giving the description of green, the Koran also says, "Reclining on green cushions and beautiful carpets" (55:76) and "Do you not see that God sends down water from the cloud so the earth becomes green?" (22:63). In Syria, a green land is used in describing a lucky person. To wish somebody a good year, one uses the expression green year, and when one takes up residence in a new dwelling, green leaves of beet are hung there as a token of good luck. In Morocco, the expression my stirrups are green means, "I bring the rain when I travel into an area where it is awaited." The Prophet himself declared, "The sight of green is agreeable to the eyes as the sight of a beautiful woman" (al-Jahiz, Tarbi, p.137).

Mahomed Jaffer, a successful businessman in Bombay and Europe, generously willed one lac rupees to build a sanatorium for sick and convalescent Ismailis. However, because he passed away before he could build it, it was left to his son, Ismail, to realize his father’s humane dream. In 1931, he actually built a large sanatorium in Panchgani, known as Bagh-e-Rahat, at a cost of approximately Rs. 130,000. Ismail was born to Mahomed Jaffer and his third wife, Shirin. Mahomed Jaffer’s daughter, Fatima, was born to his first wife, while both his second and fourth wives died giving birth (the latter, giving birth to twins). Mahomed Jaffer himself passed away on October 27, 1918, and only his daughter, Fatima, and his son, Ismail survived.

Ismaili Tariqah By : Ibrahim Machiwala The word tariqah (pl. turuq, tara'iq) is derived from tariq meaning a space between two rows of palm-trees. It is thus simply meant the way, path or road, as it is said in Arabic qatah atariq means he interpreted the road, and howalla tariqatah means he is following his own way. Salmon suggests in his Arabic Dictionary (p, 499) the derivation of tariqah from taraqa meaning a string of camels following a difficult tract to a well." The word tariq occurs nine times in the Koran. The tariqah is not only internal perception of the hidden meaning of the law, it also purports to be a total discipline aimed towards the progressive purification of the soul.

In those days, the Ismailis from Kutchh flocked in Karachi, making the population of Garden area over 1500. The existing premises of the Jamatkhana became too small to accommodate the Ismailis; therefore, Mukhi Muhammad Ladha donated a piece of plot, adjoining the Jamatkhana, where a new Jamatkhana was built. He was also appointed President of the Supreme Council for Karachi on June 1, 1911 till November 30, 1911.

The richest man in the world finds his America walls off his newest hired employees. What to do? Set up plants in Canada and Mexico and India, for starters. Greek Antiques, Democracy , Open To All - Except Inside China's Bunker By : Derek Dashwood There is much irony of a protester from Tibet stealing the show, if only for a moment, while the man from China spoke about harmony and brotherhood. This spoke loudly, as did the criticism of China about poor security. Healthy Lifestyles - More Soul Of Aristotle, Less Sword Of Caesar By : Derek Dashwood Healthy lifestyles seem so unlikely for so many people in places that seem on fire: Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Tibet, Darfur. The world is nearing a boil with the weather and the politics. Time to cool down. Greek Antiques, China, Democracy - With Star Treck Under Tianaman Square? By : Derek Dashwood This is a journey of what if, that dos exist in many places, some of which we know, some not. This year more Chinese will use cellphones than in America.

Greek Antiques, Roman Warriors - Senior Aristotle Bush vs Junior Nero Bush By : Derek Dashwood There is such contrast between the wiser elder Bush, like a wise Greek philosopher with wise advisers, who had to undo the Reagan voodoo economics that his predecessor,and his son, have blundered into again. Egyptian Antiques, The Wiser Promised Land - If Moses Had Wandered West By : Derek Dashwood As the Jews were driven out of the lush lands of the Nile river delta, they headed north into the desert.

American Antiques, Democracy - Thoreau, After Patton By : Derek Dashwood American history has been one of the great stories of the growth of democratic values in the world.

Roman Antiques, Teutonic Knights, Charlemagne, Wenceslas, Ataturk- New Europeans By : Derek Dashwood The coming together of so many new nations to create a greater, or Metro Europe just keeps surprising us. Now a Europe from the Arctic to north Africa and West Asia is the talk of the halls in Brussels. What are they putting in their lunchtime brownies? We think the idea is great, the wider Europe. Greek Antiques, Alexander, Hannibal, Attila and Ataturk Are New Europe ! By : Derek Dashwood The Europe coming may include the African side and the Asian side as well as now most of the European side of the Greek and later Roman Empires, if E.U. delegates have their way. As well it has all the Germanic and Hun bits up to the Arctic, and Celtic Ireland and Scotland, who with the Germans had been beyond the pale. That is, too feisty. Greek Antiques, Olympic Freedom Torch - Left Athens For Tibet Today By : Derek Dashwood Television shows us Chinese police hit with clubs men in saffron robes in their holy city.

American Antiques, Power, Wealth, Vision - How NAFTA Helps More Than It Hurts By : Derek Dashwood The vibrancy of trade agreements between nations shows that some are hurt, most are helped much more, and the nation thrives.

American Antiques, Reagan, NAFTA, - The Bigger The Better By : Derek Dashwood There has been honest worry in the election debates about whether the North American Free Trade Agreement has been good overall, for all three partners.
