Abstract

The Ismaili faith is monotheist in nature. Various authors have brought a variety of understanding of God according to time and geography. Among the most curious one is the concept of Shah Pir that points to two Lights being like the two side of the same coin. This short note will be attempting to introduce and give some sources about these two Lights.
