Mubarakis to the France Jamat on this wonderful news

The President and Members
His Highness Prince Aga Khan Shia Imami Ismaili Council for France
Paris

My dear President and Members,

Since the time of the occasion of my Takht-Nishini in February, I have been working with the leaders of my Jamat to develop a plan for a cycle of inaugural visits to my Jamats around the world. It is my desire and intention to travel extensively and have opportunities to meet with as many of my Jamats as possible in person.

I am happy to announce today my first Jamati visit as your 50th Imam will be to France in July. I was delighted to have received an invitation from the President of the French Republic to undertake an official visit. In conjunction with that visit, I will meet with my Jamat under the jurisdiction of the Council for France.

I continue to work with my leaders to develop a forward schedule for further Jamati visits. These will be scheduled taking into consideration national circumstances, the situation of individual Jamats and my other commitments and activities. These visits are a priority for me, and I will announce future visits as soon as they are confirmed.

As I would like to be able to focus my attention on the Jamat in each jurisdiction, I do not wish my spiritual children from other countries to travel to France during my visit there. I hope my Jamat will maintain discipline and restraint in this matter, so that my visit to France can be undertaken in an organised manner. It is my intention to apply the same principle to future visits to other countries.

I send my warmest and most affectionate loving blessings to all my beloved spiritual children of my France, Belgium, Switzerland and Ivory Coast Jamat. You are constantly in my heart, in my thoughts and in my prayers.

Yours affectionately,

Aga Khan

Dear All,

A video message from the President of the Aga Khan Ismaili Council for France, shared ahead of Mawlana Hazar Imam’s forthcoming Didar with the Jamat in France this month.

Watch here:

In this heartfelt address—delivered in French with English subtitles—he speaks directly to the Jamat as “dear brothers and sisters,” and emphasizes that:
• This is a moment of joy, unity, and profound spiritual significance.
• The Didar is not just a physical event; it is a spiritual and inner transformation.
• It is a time to reaffirm our oath of allegiance (bay‘ah) to the Imam with clean and open hearts.
• We must prepare ourselves spiritually so that we are ready to receive the Nur (Light) of the Imam.
• By the grace of Mawlana Hazar Imam, we will be blessed with this Light during Didar.

His message affirms clearly that the Imam is the bearer of Divine Light, and that Didar is not a concept or symbolic act—it is a living spiritual reality for every murid.

As we prepare for this historic and sacred occasion, may we open our hearts fully to reflect, pray, and receive the blessings and grace of the Nur of the Imam-of-the-Time.

With prayers and warm wishes,

FORWARDED AS RECEIVED

Dearest Family,

With immense joy and gratitude, I wanted to share some truly wonderful news as we prepare our hearts for Hazar Imam’s visit to Paris.

The Belgium Jamati youth, aged 15–25, have been specially blessed with a unique mulaqat with Hazar Imam on Saturday, July 12th, following the France Jamat’s Deedar earlier that day.
The Belgium Jamat will have their Deedar on Sunday, July 13th, and afterward, the France Jamati Youth will have their mulaqat. How blessed we are to witness such spiritual abundance across our regions!

And the blessings continue…
After the youth mulaqat on Sunday, Hazar Imam will also graciously meet with the non-Ismaili spouses and partners~—~a gesture that reflects His deep love and inclusive spirit.

And there is even more to be grateful for. As part of the leadership—Shabnam with the Council and myself with NCAB—we have just received the extraordinary news that all leadership members will be granted a private meeting with Hazar Imam, followed by a lunch in His presence.
When I heard this, I genuinely got goosebumps. What an incredible blessing, one that fills the heart with awe and deep shukrana.

I simply had to share this with all of you. Let us hold each other in prayer and gratitude during this historic and spiritually rich time.

Mubaraki to everyone!

With love,
