Considering this, what do you wear to an Ismaili funeral?
For both men and women, dress should be modest. Men should wear a shirt and trousers. Women must wear a headscarf, plus an ankle-length skirt and a shirt with long sleeves and a high neck. Everyone should wear clean socks, as the shoes are removed before prayer.
Subsequently, question is, does Ismailis drink alcohol? Despite the Quranic prohibition on alcohol (a prohibition that is accepted by Nizari Ismailis), many of Serena’s properties have bars and serve alcohol to guests – including in Muslim nations like Pakistan.
Beside above, are Ismailis Shia or Sunni?
According to the US Department of State, an estimated 25% of Pakistani’s Muslim population adhere to Shia Islam (75% are Sunnis). Of that 25%, the majority are Ismailis, the second-largest branch of Shia Islam after the Twelvers, who hold sway in nearby Iran.
What are Ismaili beliefs?
Ismailis believe in the oneness of God, as well as the closing of divine revelation with Muhammad, whom they see as “the final Prophet and Messenger of God to all humanity”. The Ismāʿīlī and the Twelvers both accept the same initial Imams.
