It is important to realize, that while the Bai ul Khayal has been established in Hunza, MHI has not given the Jamats Bol yet. Hence Bol is not absolutely necessary to make spiritual progress. What is important is that one should carry the faith in the heart all the time. That is the meaning of Ibadat as per Farman of the present Imam.mahebubchatur wrote:In many Ismaili religious traditions and practices, there was and is no Bait ul Khayal in the morning, or Bol given by Imam e Zaman (For example in Hunza there was not until last year when Imam made a Farman to start Bait ul Khayal for that tradition of Ismaili Muslims).
Ibaadat/Bandagi Concentration
Re: For those who do no have a Bol from the Imam e Zaman
There are two pertinent anecdotes given in Mumtaz Tajdin's 225anecdotes which can be accessed at:

(17) In March, 1976, Mawlana Hazar Imam visited Hunza. The men, women and children beheld the Imam with due reverence and bowed their heads with much solemn gravity and their eyes welled up with tears. On that occasion, the Imam, Mr. Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto, the Prime Minister of Pakistan and some dignitaries were on the stage.
Looking his beloved spiritual children, the Imam said to Vazir Kassim Ali Mohammad Jafar, the President of the Ismailia Association for Pakistan that, “They are very pure people.”
(36) On 3rd March, 1915, Imam Sultan Muhammad Shah visited Kandi Mola Jamatkhana (now Karimabad), Bombay and attended various mehmanis. Before departure, Juma Bhagat asked the Imam, “Khudavind, why the Ismailis of Hunza and Chitral are deprived of the Baitul Khiyal?” The Imam said, “If I do it now, then they will perform bandagi for 16 hours instead of 2 hours and as a result they will drag me from Bombay to there with the agency of their bandagi.” Missionary Ibrahim Varteji asked, “When they will be destined the bandagi of Baitul Khiyal?” The Imam said, “It is not possible at present. I shall definitely start after a hundred years.”
Exactly after hundred years, Mawlana Hazar Imam sent a Talika Mubarak on 18th December, 2017 to the Pakistan jamat through Vazir Akbarali Karamali, the Estate Agent. It was read in the Pakistan Jamatkhanas on 20th December, 2017, in which Hazar Imam declared that the Baitul Khiyal Majalis would be started in Gilgit-Baltistan and Chitral on 21st March, 2018. It sharply implies that Imam Sultan Muhammad Shah fulfilled his prediction in his 49th joma (form) i.e. Mawlana Hazar Imam.
