Ismaili theology

Ismaili theology is a branch of Shia Islam that emphasizes the importance of divine guidance through a continuous line of hereditary imams, believed to be infallible and spiritually appointed by God. It interprets the Quran and Hadith with a focus on metaphysical, esoteric meanings, encouraging intellectual and spiritual exploration. Ismailis believe that the Imam is both a spiritual guide and a reflection of divine truth, fostering a personal and communal relationship with God. Their faith combines deep theological insight with a commitment to social justice, knowledge, and community service.
