Good afternoon sir/madam. Reading your article I have 3 question:

One the zakaz right now is irrelevant in many cases, because I pay 28 percent tax to the government and if I pay 10 more to the Imam it is pushing for my budget. Back in the time zakat and jizya were the only taxes, no income taxes so far. So did anyone from Imamat addressed this issue?

Second question in these article you bring the part of the Quran that says if you give money under the interest to increase your wealth, you not gonna succeed. So the question why the Ismaili bank that belong to imamat, charge interest it's clients in Asia? How do you answer this.

3 question Imam Sultan M. Says (in this article): whoever fails to pay dasond will face God on the Day of Judgement, so does this statement include the Sunnis as well or Imam is referring only to Ismaili community? And if so than it means he is chosing to lead only one part of the believers, while Prophet and Early imams tried to lead the other branches of the religion.

Thanks for your answer in advance.

beyond sincere payment and repentance, how an individual accounts for its past missed payments? are there any

retrospective obligations (for example, whether a specific sum must be calculated and paid to “make up” every year missed)?
