United states didar central and southwest region November 5-10th

During Mowlana Shah Karim’s last visit to Houston at NRG Stadium, I saw many people — including non-Ismailis and those without entry passes — waiting outside the hall in long queues on both sides. Mowlana Hazar Imam kindly shook hands and talked with some of them, spending quite some time among them.

Regarding the car passing by, I’m not sure about that because I was inside the Deedar hall.
It will be a good ideas to call South west council they are answering call day times.

Welcome Mawla, To Our Texas Home | Ismaili Devotional Country Song | Young Homie | JollyGul

A warm, country-folk tribute from the Texas Jamat welcoming Mawla Rahim for his Padhrami and the opening of the new Ismaili Center in Houston.

The song blends Texan pride with heartfelt devotion — from glowing stars and smiling families to longhorns and open skies — expressing gratitude, unity, and joy at the Imam’s presence.

The song celebrates faith, simplicity, and the spirit of service, ending with a proud Texan gesture: “Texas tips its hat to You.”

Song : Welcome Mawla, To Our Texas Home
Ismaili Devotional Country Song

Admin and Kbhai,

It is very disappointing to see that only songs by well-known or professional singers are being accepted on this website. This is not fair and goes completely against the spirit of equality and community.

I had posted a Garbi about MHI’s Houston Padhramani just a few days ago under the same topic, and now it has been deleted without any explanation. It is no longer visible in my posts.

Why was it removed? Is it because I am not a professional singer? If this platform only promotes famous voices and ignores contributions from others, then it is following a biased and unjust policy. Every member deserves equal respect and opportunity to share their devotion and creativity.

I expect a clear explanation regarding this matter.
Your prompt and honest reply will be appreciated.

[kmaherali]

Admin and Kbhai,

I cannot delete an posts. Only Admin can!

[ashraf59]

Ok, Sorry brother for addressing my posts to you along with admin
