Those who intend to travel to East Africa, remember that thin plastic bags are illegal and passengers arriving in some airports such as Nairobi face stiff fines up to a thousand dollars it these are found in their luggage. You should only have thick recyclable and reusable bags in your luggage. Even some of the bags you receive in Duty Free at the airports are banned.

2017, October 12 Dar es Salaam Diamond Jubilee Darbar subsequent to Kampala Darbar. October 12 is also the Birthday of Prince Rahim. Lets hope the Jamat asks the Imam to cut the cake in this honour if not in honour of Diamond Jubilee.

I desired to visit Tanzania but with restrictions placed infor overseas jamat.So planned to go to Bali,Indonesia .which again has concern for volcano eruption.
I assume in spirit our Diamond jubilee slogan of ONE JAMAT.
I hope that both durbar of Kampala and Dar es salam with visit highlight should be shown later on video to world jamat ( within 7-10 days after the event).this viewing to be celebrated by all jamat or the world with local sherbet,snacks and garba.
So every jubilee is equally celebrated,and those fortunate who saved money on travel should be more generous in charity.
This is my sincere wish as well.
The only which could be open for the overseas Ismaili to see the Seat of IMAMAT that would be Lisbon Portugal.
So let all 20 million Ismaili celebrate each jubilee visit and not around 5000++ zahiri didaar seeking murids.

To Leaders and Jamat
Dear All,
Leaders are all in Aiglemont today for the next few days. So will they change their wish & not block murids who come to kampala and Dar es Salam for Deedar (Prayer)
They know that their wish is not the wish of the Jamats or Hazar Imam. They represent the Jamat and must respect all murids .
Is this epochal diamond Jubilee not more , or as Important as the Golden Juhilee for All murids ? In Golden Jubilee All murids were allowed to attend. What has changed ? Murids should not be blocked and divided but welcomed and united
Watch the following interview of an Ismaili who was blocked in Singapore in 2012. All murids especially all Ismaili volunteers should watch this, and do as Imam says, does, and would do.
All murids must welcome all murids, like they do when they come to any JK. Would Leaders block Murids from going to pray in any JK globally ? They know that going for Deedar is one of the most important prayer and part of our faith, if not the most.
Last weekend Murids in Chantilly without any Ismaili security, were respectful, and acted with decorum and dignity. Hazar Imam was very comfortable and happy to walk alone. Murids were interacting. Some Leaders were there but did not mix with Murids. (No Ismaili security was there to block and harass murids as instructed by those who are not doing what Hazar Imam says)
Link to Interview https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B7WuU ... WhMcXBhb1U
All Leaders Nationally & in Aiglemont should reconsider & change. Murids and Ismaili volunteers should respect & allow all murids who come & be respectful, companionate and brotherly towards them. Many Murids will be sharing videos on the day. And Media are watching us as a community.
Enjoy - more Video clips and pictures of this event (last weekend). Links below.

I do not think this October restriction place could be lifted.
It would late by then.WHO rules requires for re entry into home countries ,the person should have taken yellow fever shots 15 DAYS before that date.
What you mentioned is wishful thinking.Hope something comes out of it.
If 10000 Ismailis save appx $ 1500 per trip that comes US$ 15 million ,if that used for helping our brothers/sisters in need in Syria,Afghanistan, and others.

Many Ismailis travel and have their vaccinations. Countries like Tanzania and others require Yellow Fever vaccination, no doubt.
However to compare the value of a didar with amounts of money is utter nonsense. There are many things one can do in life to save money or help people which Ismailis do very generously. Cutting on Didars is not an option. You do not measure the value of Light in a Soul with money in a pocket.
Furthermore, there is no need to create controversies on each available occasion. This thread is for informing people about the forthcoming Didars and the program surrounding these Didars.

HI, I am from Burundi, i just wanted to ask one thing.
Should the jamat of Burundi is allowed to attend the deedar in Uganda or not?
If not, then if somebody is not affordable to visit Tanzania or Kenya to see maula bapa then what they should do?
Waiting for your prompt response.

does anyone (incl Admin) have any updated information about Kampala darbar -I happen to be here for work meetings from the UK but they are not at all welcoming in the main Jamatkhana - before even saying anything to any foreigners, all am hearing is that its only for local jamat havent yet spoken to Mukhi thank you
On a separate note, if it is really for locals there are some very influential and wealthy individuals who are currently at the serena and interestingly these are from the UK and Tanzania with nothing to do with the Board but very much invited for darbar. how does this happen?

The whole quote translates as:
467th Farman:
Nairobi 21-3-1945
Hazarat Imam Sultan Muhammad Shah made the Farman:
"We bestow upon you Jamats many many blessings. Seeing you has made us very happy. Today in the New Year's day that is, on the festival of Idd-e-Navroz we grant/offer you many many Mubarakis.
While we are here nobody should leave their business or employment. Every employee should leave for their employment immediately after the Didar. The employers should not get the impression that due to our visit, the employees are absent from work. Do not ever act in a manner which displeases the employers. For the sake of Didar, not to go to business or employment is very inappropriate. We are very unhappy about it. You can have our Didar on the streets or in your cars..."

Dear Admin and kmaherali thank you very much for posting and sharing that Firman - may you be blessed for all your efforts. we will try to follow that and to get a glimpse in open public spaces it is unfortunate that previous UK president who is now AKDN diplomat in Uganda always harped on publicly about EK JAMAAT this behaviour by powers that be of prohibiting anyone who is already in the country for whatever reason be it work, meetings;or otherwise just shows how far we really are from being "One Jamaat" - shame on them all - as per Glorious Quran this life is a test of the hereafter - they will have to answer for their actions Uganda Darkhana Jamatkhana (Martin Road) volunteer corps need to also learn lessons in humility, politeness, etiquette and brotherhood- you have to have witnessed this evening how rude they really were in shouting and trying to stop people from even going to Jamatkhana to worship - unbelievable- and to call themselves Ismaili is a real farce when Imam says we are all brothers and sisters - is this how the very first Diamond Jubilee Darbar is going to be remembered?
Actualy Hazar Imam has made clear that he wanted the kind of grand public ceremony which his grandfather, Mowlana Sultan Muhammad Shah had for his Jubilees. He said it is an Ismaili custom and it should be definitely carried on.shak110 wrote: is this how the very first Diamond Jubilee Darbar is going to be remembered?
There is a video confirming this at

In that we have completely failed to respect the wish of our Imam and to respect the Ismaili Customs.

Times and Circumstance do change ,He is a the Imam for now 2017 what he says today is order for us and not what was said 60 years back for the same issue or event
I got a video clip of MHI arrival in Uganda on WhatsApp
As I feel number of jamat is small in Uganda ,but the crowd seen outside the airport on both sides of the street looks like fair percentage of snooty/ziddi Kenyan jamat were there to to see MHI ,something is better than nothing. They did get blessed by his sight/deedar.
Baap KA laad aur pyaar , kabhi kabhi bachee ko ziddi bana sakta HAI.
SO LETS CHEER FOR THE FIRST JUBILEE DARBAR AND DOZEN MORE TO GO.

The globe trotters such as yourself should show respect. I'm sure you are the one who is rude. The American & Canadian Jamat is known to demand things at such event.
Have you considered volunteering instead of complaining?
Have you contributed to the local cost to host the darbaar including security, food, etc. costs?
I personally know many Canadians who not only volunteers during these Didars but also contribute large amount in $$$$ to help these occasions be successful.NadIsmail wrote: The globe trotters such as yourself should show respect.

I would suggest that if Zaheri Didar is less important for you than the directives of Sachedina and his various followers of which you seems to be part, you should refrain from saying "Ameen" when Dua is asked in Jamatkhana for Zaheri and Batini Didar.
At some point in your life you will have to decide if your allegiance is to the Imam or to his Leadership and particularly the one called "Mungu Dogo" in East Africa, especially when the leaderships goes against everything our Imam stands for. To remind you Mowlana Sultan Muhammad Shah said if leaders do not follow the Constitution, the Jamat should not follow them. Not to mention countless Farmans where Jamat is commanded to ask accountability and answerability from the leaders appointed by the Imam.
This section is for putting information, I request all of you not to try to create useless controversies here.

Jamati seniors celebrate ahead of Mawlana Hazar Imam’s visit to Tanzania
Dressed in their best Khushiali outfits, the Dar es Salaam Jamat seniors gathered at Jubilee Towers for a celebratory lunch in anticipation of Mawlana Hazar Imam’s visit to Tanzania.
The Ismaili Leaders’ International Forum announced the confirmation of Mawlana Hazar Imam’s visit in late-September, at the official invitation of the Governments of Uganda and Tanzania, that he will visit both countries in October.
President and Vice President of the National Council for Tanzania, Amin Lakhani and Kamal Khimji, and Mukhisaheb Imtiaz Haji were the guests of honour for the luncheon, accompanied by the Chairman for Social Welfare Board and committee board members. President Lakhani addressed the seniors during the gathering about the upcoming visit and encouraged them to prepare themselves for the momentous visit.
Some of the seniors expressed their happiness and eagerness for the visit as they enjoyed the lunch along with live music. Gulzar Shariff felt nostalgic as she recalled the Diamond Jubilee of Sultan Mohammed Shah with her family when she was a young girl.
She said, “We came from Zanzibar on the ship [to Dar es Salaam] and we went straight to Upanga Khane, where there were separate tents for men and women. That’s where the showcase [Taqt-Nasheen] took place."
The event was part of a larger celebration for Mawlana Hazar Imam’s Diamond Jubilee year as the 49th hereditary Imam of the world’s Shia Ismaili Muslims with the theme of “One Jamat” in mind.

She said, “We came from Zanzibar on the ship [to Dar es Salaam] and we went straight to Upanga Khane, where there were separate tents for men and women. That’s where the showcase [Taqt-Nasheen] took place."
The event was part of a larger celebration for Mawlana Hazar Imam’s Diamond Jubilee year as the 49th hereditary Imam of the world’s Shia Ismaili Muslims with the theme of “One Jamat” in mind.
