"There is, like in I think all faiths, a form of religious due which is voluntary, which is institutional income. It is given within the context of the link between the Imam of the Time and the individual, or the family, and I think that it is been a source of strength both to the community and to the institution so long as those resources are used in a manner which is appropriate to the role of the Imam as an institution and is understood as such." - Imam Shah Karim al-Husayni Aga Khan IV

ARTICLE:  What Does Mawlana Hazar Imam Do with the Religious Dues given by the Community?  "In Ismaili tradition, because there is nothing which I have seen in writing, it is 10% at the present time, but the interesting thing is that, in effect, I would say easily 98% of those funds, and in fact at times much more than 98%, in fact probably of the order of 150%, goes back to the community." - Imam Shah Karim al-Husayni Aga Khan IV BBC Radio 4 Interview, Michael Charlton (London, United Kingdom), 6 September 1979 http://essentialismaili.com/2015/06/26/q-a-what-does-mawlana-hazar-imam-do-with-the-religious-dues-given-by-the-community-ismaili-gnosis-nanowisdoms/ #Ismailis #Ismailism #AgaKhan #AhlAlBayt #ProudIsmaili #HazarImam #OneJamat #ReligiousDues #Dasond

ON DASOND: QUESTION: “Tell us how this money is collected? I mean is it a system of taxation or is it really entirely voluntary?” ANSWER: “No — it is entirely voluntary and the IMAM USES THE MONEY either to grant SCHOLARSHIPS to students, to grant capital to a SCHOOL or a HOSPITAL. We have got on hospital in Nairobi at the moment which will have cost about 400,000 pounds and my grandfather GAVE A VERY LARGE SUM to that hospital.” Imam Shah Karim al-Husayni (UK Press Interview, 2 May 1958) #Ismailis #Ismailism #AgaKhan #ProudIsmaili #SpiritualChildren #Imam #Imamat #Appreciation #Give2Receive #LessonsInIsmailism #Dasond Please visit www.ismailignosis.com or visit our Facebook page www.facebook.com/IsmailiGnosis for more gems about Mawlana Hazar Imam, the Imamat, and Ismaili history and philosophy.
