Introducing the Ismaili Gnosis Podcast: Ep. 1 on the Spiritual Roles of Prophet Muhammad
Ismaili Gnosis Chats is a new podcast making Ismaili history and theology more accessible
We are pleased to announce a new Ismaili Gnosis Podcast called Ismaili Gnosis Chats. Each episode features conversations exploring Ismaili Muslim beliefs, practices, and historical themes. Topics may include the Existence of God, the Ismaili understanding of Tawhid (Oneness or Monorealism), Prophethood, Imamat, Qiyama (Resurrection), Esoteric Interpretation (Ta’wil) of the Qur’an, Spiritual Transformation, the practice of Dasond, Ismaili forms of Prayer, etc.
All podcast content is drawn exclusively from Ismaili Gnosis articles, which feature original academic research based on primary and secondary sources.
We highly recommend listening to Ismaili Gnosis Chats for people who want to benefit from long-form Ismaili Gnosis articles but lack the time to read them fully.
In light of the Prophet’s birthday (milad al-nabi), the First Episode of Ismaili Gnosis Chats is titled “The Prophet Unveiled: What the Qur’an says about Muhammad” and focuses on the spiritual roles of the Prophet outlined in the Qur’an. It also highlights how many of the Prophet’s spiritual functions continue to be performed by the Imam of the Time (to read the published article that this episode is based on, click here). This Episode will answer many questions about why Ismailis revere the Imam with obedience, devotion, and supplication.
