Ismailism

The Five Fundamental Principles of Ismailism

The 5 fundamental principles of Ismailism are: TAWHID - The Oneness of Allah or the Unity of God. ADL - Justice i.e we are rewarded for the good we do and pay back for the evil we do. RASALAT - Prophethood. God has sent His Prophets to all peoples to guide them. IMAMAT - the institution of Divine Guidance through which mankind can achieve ultimate salvation. QIYAMAT - the Day of Judgement or the Great Day when good and evil deeds of mankind will be weighed

The Ismaili of Central Asia

The Ismailis are one of the largest Muslim minority populations of Central Asia, and they make up the second largest Shiʿi Muslim community globally. First emerging in the second half of the 8th century, the Ismaili missionary movement spread into many areas of the Islamic world in the 10th century, under the leadership of the Ismaili Fatimids caliphs in Egypt. The movement achieved astounding success in Central Asia in the 10th century, when many of the political and cultural elites of the region were converted.
