Looking Forward

The guidance delivered during this Didar represents both blessing and responsibility. Copies of the Farmans and the full Constitution are expected to be made available to every member by the Leaders, ensuring accountability, transparency, and adherence to the Imam’s guidance.

The Ismaili has today published details of Gifts presented to Hazar Imam.

“ A series of three gifts were presented to the Imam. Members of the Jamat had collectively prepared an art installation—the Shukrana Mosaic—in which they reflect on the blessings in their lives, expressed through drawings, words, and colour.

More to follow after we have the 3 full Farmans or if more information is given regarding the Nazrana and a further gift personally to Hazar Imam if in addition to a mosaic by the Jamat
