If things are wrong or if there is any reason to seek accountability then we have to exercise our responsibilities as murids to do so. However in my opinion based on the message itself, there is no reason to seek accountability. I respectfully beg to differ. The very first message was changed in fo...

Yam Hope all my brothers and sisters are keeping well and healthy. Aniza Meghani’s article is excellent as it touches on a very relevant subject. Truly there are many sites that post vitriolic comments about our Imam, His family and our community and they try to camouflage their poisonous thoughts b...

As received: A professor was very popular at his college. All the kids loved him because he was sooo helpful and always went out of his way to give time to those who were having difficulties. The professor completed tenure of 60 yrs and all the kids decided to celebrate this milestone . They approac...

True and Canada takes the prize!
They should take a few lessons from USA volunteers ...

So it was not wrong at all for Jamati members to come to the hotel or stand outside BMO to catch a glimpse of their beloved Bapa, even though they may have had their mulaqat deedars already. They were not disturbing the leaders in any way and were most happy to catch a glimpse of Bapa outside the h...

1. No Duas and blessings for ruhani/deceased members of the jamat. No request from Mukhisaheb to Mawla? 2. Incredible to read a Farman made by Mawlana Hazar Imam with no mention at all of issues of din - balance between din and duniya, the soul is eternal, regularity of prayer, etc. have never read ...

Sorry to say, but from Mulaqats of Hazar Imam last year, we have experienced that Canada jamat/leaders are not very generous. So I think this Ramadhan period would be perfect for them. They don’t need to spend a dime on food related activities ! Lol! Let’s see if our Beloved Mowla agrees to their re...

The above dates fall during the month of Ramadhan..... hmmm

A plethora of mubarakis on beloved Hazar Imam's (recently concluded) Padhramni to the UAE. Mashallah, from all testimonial accounts, this was indeed a monumental visit. I particularly enjoyed reading about how the Imam made sure the jamat was included in the nazrana presented to the Imam during the ...

#CanadaVisit#OneJamat What does Canada think by using the above hashtags as their tag line for the recent padhramni? #OneJamat from where? In 2011, during their Mulaqats for Jamati Work, Uganda, Tanzania and Kenya included an International Darbaar which were attended by the global jamat, including l...

This year, Beloved Hazar Imam will, inshallah, be physically present in Islamabad on the day of His 81st Salgirah. Mashallah! Alhamdulillah! I have read that the Imam has indicated to have no activities scheduled for this day. But please, please, please do NOT miss out on this opportunity of a lifet...

Mubaraki to the entire jamat of Pakistan! At last, the Sun is set to shine over this land and I am sure there is rejoicement and utsah in the entire country. It is my sincerest prayer that beloved Mawlana Hazar Imam be shown the greatest humility, devotion, and respect, especially by the Mukhi Kamad...

Nuseri is shrouded in a cocoon of ignorance and should remain there instead of venturing outside of it and making such highly judgmental and yet irrelevant statements. I say irrelevant because the debate here centers around the celebration of our beloved Imam's Diamond Jubilee. Who would not want to...

Very saddened by the news.

AS RECEIVED On Friday, September 27, I was feeling very nostalgic indeed. It was the final day, the end of a glorious week in which our beloved Mowla had shown us so much rehmat and so much benevolence and we were all humbled by His magnificent magnanimity. But still I was nostalgic even though I ha...

Hazar Imam departed from the Taj Palace Hotel today at 10:15am for the airport. He was looking very happy and empyrean as He shifted closer to the untinted window and waved goodbye lovingly to His murids who were waiting by the roadside.

1. MHI looking amazingly radiant!!! Full of smiles and in very good health. Looking absolutely handsome in charcoal grey sherwani. Mashallah! Shukranlillah wal humdulillah 2. MHI has visited so many countries in this world -- Afganistan, Tajikistan, Pakistan, Syria etc -- but never have I seen the l...

My dear brothers Shiraz and Agakhani, for over forty years now, I must have approached every newly appointed pair of mukhi-kamadia sahebs and every chairman of the Tariqa Board in my city about this issue.  No luck, although, 9 years ago,  there was one mukhi who did agree with my argument. However,...

Thank you for your response and the excellent points you have brought out. It is certainly very important to clearly understand what is a mehmani. It is a humble, direct offering to Beloved Hazar Imam as an expression of our love and respect for Him, and as such great care has to be taken over EVERY...

Perhaps the greatest , nay the most important [/u] relationship a murid can have with the Imam is that of love. And love cannot remain hidden: it requires an outward expression. Maybe that is why, in His infinite wisdom and mercy, Beloved Hazar Imam has kindly accepted the presentation of MEHMANI fr...

You are welcome. Just to add, my most sincere and humble shukranas to our Hazar Imam for allowing me to be part of such a spectacular event. The whole aura was that of a big Khushiyali...band troupes, traditional dancers, powerful personalities and dignitaries and lots and lots of people, all happy ...

The above photograph reminded me of a very endearing incident which happened at the function in Arusha immediately after the photograph session was over.  An attractive young Indian woman accompanied by her husband, a white man, had been noticed by me discreetly following Hazar Imam as he toured the...

.      My sense is also that Ismailis worldwide in general respected the directive to not travel.  Aside from a couple of exceptions of people who showed up (and were not able to get in) other non far east Jamat did not come.    This resulted in my view in an exceptional experience for the local ja...

Sincere appeal to all leaders and decision makers As we rapidly approach the end of the holy month of Ramadhan, inshallah, our Imam will soon bless another jamat with a jamati visit. This is a sincere, heartfelt appeal to all leaders and decision makers of whichever jamat the Imam will bless with a ...

I also want to share something more. I think it was really inconsiderate of the leaders of Nairobi to keep the banquet at the Safari Park. I mean, do they not know that there are road constructions going on? They took Mowla through such terrible conditions; really they have no shame. Furthermore, at...

Our beloved Mawlana Hazar Imam concluded His 25 day visit to East Africa yesterday, leaving Nairobi in the morning at approximately 9:30am. The Imam, accompanied by Princess Zahra, arrived at Kilimanjaro International Airport at approximately 10:10am and from there went by helicopter to the site all...

Mukhisaheb of Kampala presented ladies of the catering committee to the Imam just before His departure from the Jamatkhana grounds. The Imam was very happy to see them and said, "I am very happy with your services; you are feeding the jamat, you are feeding the Imam." He then gave them man...

It was very disheartening indeed to see what kind of car had been provided for the Imam's visit to Mombasa as of 20th July 2011. All the windows, and the wind screens (front and behind) were fully tinted...completely tinted so that no murid, waiting on the roadside to catch a glimpse of his or her b...
