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.”

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!

We have composed many songs in five different languages on the USA Padhramani, and they’re getting tremendous likes and views from various groups and on Facebook.
Can we share them here, Admin?
I don’t want this post deleted like my Garbi, which received an outstanding response elsewhere. It’s disappointing when genuine creative work is removed without reason.

Our beloved Mawlana Hazar Imam reminds us:

“It is our collective responsibility to be good stewards of the planet. At this crucial moment, we must all nurture and invest in solutions that can repair our planet before it is too late.”

[Mawlana Hazar Imam Shah Rahim al-Hussaini | London, October 8th 2020]



This message echoes the guidance from Mawlana Hazar Imam’s Takht-nishini farman, where he emphasized the importance of environmental stewardship and addressing climate change.

With this inspiration, we are committed to making this USA Visit an environmentally sustainable event — one that minimizes waste, conserves resources, and reflects our shared responsibility to care for creation. Each of us has a role to play in making this vision a reality. Every small change makes a big impact.

Eco-Conscious Materials

Procurement choices for the event emphasize reuse and recyclability, including recyclable paper goodie bags, 100% cotton reusable shoe bags, and rPET (recycled plastic) lanyards for all attendees and volunteers.

Plastic-Free Water

The Mulaqat will be entirely single-use-plastic-bottle-free. Each attendee will receive a reusable aluminum bottle featuring the Mulaqat logo, which can be used during the event and taken home as a keepsake. Refill stations have been newly installed at the Didar site in Houston, replacing traditional fountains and leaving behind a permanent sustainability improvement for future events. Dallas will also have refill stations available for use.

Waste Reduction

The event will feature clearly marked recycling and waste stations, with volunteers on-site to assist attendees in proper sorting and disposal. Where possible, snacks and beverages will use compostable cups and minimally processed, low-waste packaging to reduce landfill impact.

Spiritual Connection to Nature

Through this collective effort, the Jamat is encouraged to reflect on the spiritual dimension of sustainability — understanding that caring for the environment is an expression of gratitude, humility, and unity with creation. Families are invited to continue these small acts of stewardship at home, turning sustainability into a daily habit of faith and service.

Ya Ali madad finally know which city my terminally ill aunt would be getting her didar and it will be Dallas….does any one knows if the convention center has only one entrance that mowla can enter from because I would love to see his car pass by….and would love to see him enter and exit the building. Unfortunately I will not be allowed in the didar hall…

[kmaherali]

What to Expect on Day of Didar

On the day of your assigned Didar, here’s what all Jamati members can expect:

- All Jamati members will go through airport-like security screening before entering the Didar Hall. Everyone will walk through a metal detector and pass their shoes and any belongings through a bag check. Those with medical conditions who cannot go through a metal detector will be provided reasonable accommodations and should contact ACCESS to discuss their specific situation.
- Snack bags and refillable water bottles will be provided, and while you may bring additional snacks if you wish, outside bottles are not permitted.
Information about parking, shuttles, times to arrive, etc., will be shared via Jamati announcements and The Ismaili Insight.

Prohibited Items

To maintain the sanctity and safety of Mawlana Hazar Imam’s visit, certain items are not permitted into the venues.

To ensure a smooth and efficient entry process, the Jamat is encouraged to leave these items at home where possible or store them in your vehicles. If you arrive with such items, you will be asked to exit the security line and make your own storage arrangements at your own risk, as no storage or lockers will be available on site.

We appreciate the Jamat’s understanding and cooperation in observing these guidelines.

MHI Rahim has just landed in Sugar Land, Texas!
As I passed by the Sugar Land airport, my heart filled with joy seeing so many people gathered—eager, hopeful, and excited to catch even a glimpse of MHI’s plane!

Though the announcement was made in Jamatkhana, on the Ismaili website, and through email, the Jamat’s love couldn’t be contained—hundreds still came together, creating a beautiful traffic jam of devotion and excitement!

I can’t blame them at all—it’s a true reflection of our deep love, enthusiasm, and longing to see MHI, even if just for a moment!

You can post links to any Geets in honour of Mowlana Shah Rahim, there is no problem at all. Put all your links in one post, do not make one link per posts.

....This was the first time our beloved Imam visited the USA, and it was a moment of immense joy and significance for the entire community. It is truly disappointing that there was no livestream of Mowla arriving at the airport and the warm welcome he received. Many of us, who were unable to be present in person, were deeply saddened to miss witnessing this historic occasion.

We hope that in the future, such important moments will be shared with the entire community, so that all of us can participate in the joy and blessings of these rare and precious events.

Do we have any testimonies

[kmaherali]

As received

Mubaraki on Shah Rahim’s Didar in Houston. Gist of the firman for your perusal & reflection . We shall get the official copy as has been the practice with Shah Rahim.

Didar 11/7 session 1

Mowla Bapa came in and walked most of the red carpet
He waved at the crowd especially kids

Zahiri session began

Mowla Bapa got up and gave Farman
He accepted the bayah on behalf of mukhi and kamadia.
He said this Farman is one of many farmans
I will give you, not only to Texas jamat but to jamat of United States.

He began by giving dua aashish and blessings for peace, unity, Blessings for material and spiritual life
He also gave blessings to ruhani and those who could not be here with him physically

He talked about Ismaili center and how happy he was yesterday. He called Ismaili center in the US the darkhana
He talked about how this legacy started with Ismaili center in London by shah Karim, he said how happy shah Karim would be to see Ismaili center in US.

He started by talking about ethics of our faith mainly integrity (he didn’t seem happy here). He said do not engage in such activities that are not within the ethics of our faith.. if you do, then I forgive you, but if you keep making these same mistakes, then you’re letting me down. He said nobody is perfect, only Allah is perfect!
He moved on by discussing that material wealth is not the only goal in our life, it’s not the only success. We should compete and uplift by being kind and generous. We should share our time and knowledge. We should compete for our material life. Think of Allah, prophet Muhammad and imams.
He talked about giving tasbi to the entire jamat so we can call on Allah, prophet Mohammad and our Imams. This will strengthened your soul.
Live a ethical life

He got up after mukhi saheb said something
He gave more blessings to volunteers for
Putting together his visit
He said something very powerful in the end:
“I see some of you with my eyes, but all of you with my heart!”

He went inside medical tent where members on hospital bed, he individually went to all his murids to give his dua ashish

Mubaraki

[kmaherali]

A moment beyond words — when Mawlana Hazar Imam Shah Rahim gently blessed the volunteers, Boy Scouts, and Girl Guides before leaving the Didar venue at NRG Stadium, Houston (TX).
Every heart was full of shukrana, every eye glistened with tears of love.

Today’s Didar was a sea of Noor — filled with devotion, discipline, unity, and humility.
Our beloved Imam smiled with compassion, extended his hands in blessing, and left us with a spiritual reminder that his presence never ends — for he is always with us, watching and guiding us.

Received on 2025, November 7th

Summary of Houston Today :
Spoke about Houston and Ismaili Center and declared it Darkhana

Very firmly spoke about the ethics of our faith. I do not expect perfection l, no one is perfect, only Allah is perfect. When people make mistakes, they will be forgiven. But when people knowingly deceive and behave unethically, that is “not acceptable.” And “I will not accept that”

Material success is not success. I define success as someone who gives and shared what they have. Don’t accumulate wealth just to accumulate it. Don’t compete with others. Success to me is someone who uplifts others.

A lot of Dua to volunteers.

“I see everyone. Even if I cannot see you with my eyes, I see you with my heart.”

Everyone in my jamat is important. From the youngest to the oldest.

Spent 20 minutes in back room with the ill/bedridden jamat and met with every single one of them.

Shaking hands and high fives with people as he walked by them on his way out.

On stage very serious, but very happy when walking around.

summary from Houston this morning!
Same Mawla with children holding hands n hug few n very happy (as He did after Kampala Didar outside )
{Pls merbani Bhul chuk maaf if all not remembered n not perfect in above Gist }

He was graciously giving them hand & Happy!

Shukar Mowla!!!

This is our Experience in Today’s evening session. 

----------------------------

Farman Summary: Didar Session 1 – USA 2025
​Mawlana Hazar Imam Shah Rahim's Guidance
​During the blessed Didar, Mawlana Hazar Imam Shah Rahim graciously designated the Ismaili Center Houston as the Darkhana Jamatkhana of the United States.
​In his guidance, the Imam emphasized the imperative of living by the ethics of our faith, reminding the Jamat (community) that:
​“Live within the ethics of your faith. It will make you happy, and it will make me happy.”
​He firmly advised that we must not intentionally act against the principles of our faith, clarifying that doing so brings disappointment to the Imam.
​Mawlana Hazar Imam stated that we should not compete with one another financially, nor should we seek wealth merely for its own sake. If we are blessed with resources—be they material, intellectual, or spiritual—we must use them to care for others. True happiness, the Imam explained, comes from helping and uplifting one another.
​He urged the Jamat to compete instead in caring, respect, honesty, humility, and compassion in both professional and personal relationships.
​The Imam reminded us that all human beings make mistakes, and that we should learn from our errors, for only Allah is perfect.
​He spoke of the power of congregational prayer, encouraging us to attend Jamatkhana regularly, to pray together, and to also engage in private contemplation and reflection.
​He blessed the Jamat to call upon the names of Allah, the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), and the Imams.
​At the end, the Imam touched every heart with these profound words of love:
​“I see some of you with my eyes — but all of you with my heart.”
