Recent developments in Ismaili studies have addressed various misconceptions surrounding the history, cultures and beliefs of the Ismailis and have set a high standard for research. Although there exists a respectable number of publications in connection with the Alam奴t period (1090鈥�1256), further robust enquiry into this fascinating and important juncture in Ismaili history is required.

One of the key aspects of the Niz膩r墨 Ismaili tradition is the emphasis on spiritual resurrection (辩颈测腻尘补迟) as a counterpart to and a perfection of ritual law (蝉丑补谤墨士补迟). The historical declaration of 辩颈测腻尘补迟 during the Imamate of 岣�asan II in 559/1164 and the post-辩颈测腻尘补迟 period have caused much controversy yet received little critical attention based on primary sources. The event itself was originally depicted and narrated through the writings of adversaries of the Niz膩r墨s, with the first indications in the chronicles written during the Mongol invasion after the collapse of the Alam奴t state. It was only much later, with the emergence of primary sources from the Alam奴t period, that more light was shed on the dynamics of the event.听

澳门最快开奖现场直播 will be holding a conference to explore the various historical and doctrinal aspects of this exceptional event in Ismaili history, not just with respect to Niz膩r墨 beliefs but in the much broader context of the interactions of Ismailis with various other Muslim communities sharing similar beliefs, including Sufis and some philosophers. While the perennial issue of ritual law becoming habitual and making the practice of faith devoid of ethical content was not an idea exclusive to the Niz膩r墨 Ismailis, it has been reinforced and echoed within the esoteric framework of Ismaili thought from all periods.

We are calling for papers to address the historical and political circumstances of the declaration of resurrection as an event, messianism, eschatology and esoteric (产腻峁璱苍墨) approaches to faith. Our aim is to reflect the broadest possible expression on these subjects and to create a space for open and critical deliberation and dialogue, drawing on unpublished and recently published material from the Alam奴t era and earlier periods of Ismaili history. The focus of papers should be on the historical period of the Alam奴t era, but they can also bring in perspectives from other relevant periods.听

The conference will be in hybrid format and it will take place at the Aga Khan Centre in 2025.听
