List Of Isma'ili Imams
This is a list of the Imams as recognized by the different sub-sects of the Ismai'li sect of Shia Islam. Imams are considered members of the '' Bayt'' (Household) of Muhammad through his daughter Fatimah. Early Imams All Isma'ili sects share the first four Imams with the Zaydi Shia, and the first six Imams with the Twelver Shia. The Nizari and Musta'li are collectively also known as Fatimid Isma'ili, in contrast to the Sevener Isma'ili. After Ali ibn Husayn Zayn al-Abidin, the Zaydis consider Zayd ibn Ali to be their next Imam rather than his older brother Muhammad al-Baqir who is considered the next Imam by the Isma'ili and Twelvers. After Ja'far al-Sadiq, the Twelvers consider Musa ibn Ja'far to be their next Imam, whereas Fatimid Isma'ilis consider his older brother Isma'il ibn Ja'far to be their next Imam, followed next by his son Muhammad ibn Isma'il. The Sevener Isma'ilis consider either Isma'il ibn Jafar or his son Muhammad ibn Isma'il to be their final Imam and ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Nizari Isma'ilism
The Nizaris ( ar, النزاريون, al-Nizāriyyūn, fa, نزاریان, Nezāriyān) are the largest segment of the Ismaili Muslims, who are the second-largest branch of Shia Islam after the Twelvers. Nizari teachings emphasize independent reasoning or '' ijtihad''; pluralism—the acceptance of racial, ethnic, cultural and inter-religious differences; and social justice. Nizaris, along with Twelvers, adhere to the Jaʽfari school of jurisprudence. The Aga Khan, currently Aga Khan IV, is the spiritual leader and Imam of the Nizaris. The global seat of the Ismaili Imamate is in Lisbon, Portugal. Early history Nizari Isma'ili history is often traced through the unbroken hereditary chain of guardianship, or '' walayah'', beginning with Ali Ibn Abi Talib, who was declared Muhammad's successor as Imam during the latter's final pilgrimage to Mecca, and continues in an unbroken chain to the current Imam, Shah Karim Al-Husayni, the Aga Khan.

Shah Nizar II
Shah Nizar II was the 40th imam of the Qasim-Shahi branch of the Nizari Isma'ili community. Shah Nizar II succeeded his father Khalil Allah II Ali when the latter died in 1680. At some point during the early part of his imamate, Shah Nizar left the village of Anjudan, where his predecessors had resided for over two centuries, and moved to the nearby village of Kahak, which became the new residence of the Nizari imams. On his initiative, many Nizari faithful who until then had lived as nomads in Khurasan, came and settled in Kerman. Shah Nizar had close relations with the Sufi Sufism ( ar, ''aṣ-ṣūfiyya''), also known as Tasawwuf ( ''at-taṣawwuf''), is a mystic body of religious practice, found mainly within Sunni Islam but also within Shia Islam, which is characterized by a focus on Islamic spirituality, ...

Kahak, Delijan
Kahak ( fa, كهك, also Romanized as Kohak) is a village in Do Dehak Rural District, in the Central District of Delijan County, Markazi Province, Iran. At the 2006 census, its population was 116, in 40 families. During Safavid times, the village enjoyed some importance, and was the site of a large caravanserai, now in ruins. During the late medieval period, the village was the centre of the Qasim-Shahi line of Nizari Isma'ili imams, which transferred its residence from nearby Anjudan to Kahak during the early imamate of Shah Nizar II (1680–1722). His mausoleum in the western end of the village survives to this day, although a restoration in 1966 destroyed many of its original elements and fixtures. The Nizari imams abandoned Kahak for Kerman Province in the mid-18th century, but Shah Khalil Allah III (1792–1817) re-established himself there shortly into his imamate until 1815, when he moved to Yazd Yazd ( fa, یزد ), formerly also known as Yezd, is the capital of ...

Sayyid Hasan Ali
Sayyid Hasan Ali or Sayyid Hasan Beg was the 42nd imam of the Qasim-Shahi branch of the Nizari Isma'ili community. Sayyid Hasan Ali succeeded his father Sayyid Ali when the latter died in September 1754. While his predecessors resided at the obscure town of Kahak in central Persia, Sayyid Hasan Ali moved to Shahr-e Babak, apparently to spare his Khoja followers from India the arduous journey road to Kahak, during which they were exposed to Bakhtiari tribal attacks and extortion by local officials. The money received from the tithes paid by the Khojas allowed Hasan Ali to acquire significant properties in Shahr-e Babak, as well as the provincial capital of Kerman Kerman ( fa, كرمان, Kermân ; also romanized as Kermun and Karmana), known in ancient times as the satrapy of Carmania, is the capital city of Kerman Province, Iran.

18th-century Iranian People
The 18th century lasted from January 1, 1701 ( MDCCI) to December 31, 1800 ( MDCCC). During the 18th century, elements of Enlightenment thinking culminated in the American, French, and Haitian Revolutions. During the century, slave trading and human trafficking expanded across the shores of the Atlantic, while declining in Russia, China, and Korea. Revolutions began to challenge the legitimacy of monarchical and aristocratic power structures, including the structures and beliefs that supported slavery. The Industrial Revolution began during mid-century, leading to radical changes in human society and the environment. Western historians have occasionally defined the 18th century otherwise for the purposes of their work. For example, the "short" 18th century may be defined as 1715–1789, denoting the period of time between the death of Louis XIV of France and the start of the French Revolution, with an emphasis on directly interconnected events.
