Here's a summary of the teaching of Karmat.
- Four inclinations daily: two before sunrise, and two before sunset
- Two days worth of fasting in a year (one of the days is the Nawrooz)
- Allowed the consumption of wines made from grapes
- Abstain from Ghusl (ritual shower), wudu is okay
- Allowed killing of all who fight against him
The chapter ended with stating that not much was heard of the Karmatians of Iraq and Syria after the year 989 AD, but they were found in Bahrain until the year 1037 AD.
I write about the Islamic faith and its followers, the Muslim. In the past, most of my writing was about the doctrines and the history of various Muslim sects. Since then, I’ve included other topics of interest, such as science, philosophy, psychology, current events, politics, rationality, article reviews, social behaviors, women and the Quran. The journal writing format seen here offers the creativity to fully express my thoughts in the easiest way possible.
