New Ismailism is a branch of Islam based on Ismailism and Shi'a Islam. This branch believes in twelve Shi'ite Imams and considers Isma'il's legitimacy as a Ma'soom instead of an Imam.
Philosophy and teachings[]
Caliphate[]
New Ismailism considers a caliph in the absence of Imam Mahdi (Ajalallah). A caliph has duty to control internal affairs of religion, declaration of Jihad and choosing Ayatollah of Grand Mosque.
Caliph[]
Caliph means representative of Allah, and it referred to a theocratic leader at once. The term "Caliph" has an imperial rank, and its title is "His Imperial Holiness"; the original title of a New Ismaili Caliph is "His Ismailist and Imperial Holiness" and "His Imperial Majesty."
Muharremat[]
Muharremat means everything is Haram (Banned by Islam). New Ismailism has mutual Muharremat like other forms of Islam. Polygamy is banned along with marriage of a person under 16. Mut'a is banned along with the act of smoking cigarettes and the use of hashish and high drugs.
Punishment[]
By decisions of grand mosque in June 2014, all of punishments shall be what Islamic Punishment Code says.
