Ghulam Murtaza  With due respect, I would like to ask a few sincere questions. Hajj is a mandatory pillar of Islam, and Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) performed it. The Imams and major Islamic scholars throughout history also upheld this obligation. In this context, I would like to ask: how many times did Aga Khan IV and Aga Khan V perform Hajj? If they are considered spiritual leaders or Imams, is there any clear example or evidence of them fulfilling this important Islamic obligation? Secondly, what is the position of the Ismaili Imams regarding the five daily prayers? Do they regularly offer Salah, and is there any public evidence or example of this practice? Thirdly, what is their practice regarding fasting in Ramadan? Since fasting is a fundamental obligation in Islam, is there any evidence showing that the Imams themselves observe it? Similarly, many people also question why the Ismaili community generally does not perform Hajj in the same way as mainstream Muslims, does not observe fasting in the traditional Islamic manner, and follows different practices regarding Zakat and other Islamic obligations. The main concern is that no individual, regardless of status, can abolish or replace obligations that are clearly established in Islam. Therefore, if a community identifies itself as Muslim, it is natural for people to ask for clarity and evidence regarding these core Islamic practices. I am asking these questions respectfully and only for the sake of understanding. Finally, also explain to me how I'm a heretics and hypocrite, would you like to explain to me.
