New Jubas...

I think the designer's during Mawlana Sultan Muhammad's time were highly creative - the Juba's were vibrant and made a statement. I find the Golden Jubilee Juba somewhat on the dull side....where are our designer's...I thought we had one or two who were world class. As is so often the case, may be m...

Thank you very much Red, Greeen and Gold

The CN Tower looked even more majestic with the colours Red and Green that it was lit over the weekend.

Congratulations for taking this initiative to write to CN tower and for making your wish (and ours too) come true.

I think ADMIN has been pretty straightforward whenever he has known anything about the Darbar dates. It is a well known fact that locations across Canada were booked a while ago for the Darbar celebrations. The Darbar dates were probably not confirmed from LIF but there should have been an announcem...

A Special Thought and Prayer for the Pakistan Jamat

For the past few days, and especially today as we continue to await the news of Mawlana Hazar Imam's visit to Canada and other places like Singapore and France, I feel very sad for the Jamat in Pakistan. The Imamat's (and I include our beloved 48th Imam in this) commitment and contribution to that c...

Regarding the discipline factor, some of the individuals who started leaving might very well have been members of the Jamat and not necessarily (all) non-Ismailis. Many of us have seen incidents of certain members of the Jamat not having the...

Syria Didar

With so much anticipation about the Syria Didar it is surprising that no reports or pictures of the Salamieh Didar have appeared anywhere including theismaili.org. Isn't it time that the official web site should have on-site reporters who can submit inspiring reports and photos within hours (if not ...

I have read with great interest the various reports, testimonials and photos of Mawlana Hazar Imam's Jubilee visits to East Africa and South Asia.
