The Declaration - Farman of Qiyāma at Alamūt (1164)

A Farman by Imam Hasan ‘alā dhikrihi al-salām - One of the most important Farmans in the Ismaili Faith & history since Prophet Mohammed

Imam Hasan ‘alā dhikrihi al-salām declared Qiyāma (Qiyāmat-i Buzurg / Qiyāmat al-Qiyāma) — one of the most profound and consequential Farmans in Ismaili history.

This declaration represents one of the most important Farmans conveyed by an Ismaili Imam since the time of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).

Mawlana Hasan ‘alā dhikrihi al-salām conveyed this milestone Farman declaring Qiyāma — the inauguration of a new era of spiritual resurrection and unveiled divine truth. He continued guiding the Ismaili community as Imam and assumed the functions of Chief Dā‘ī and Ḥujjat (Proof of God).

The Farman – The Declaration

Quote:

“Rise for the day of Qiyama has arrived it’s long predicted signal has now come through the queue of all the queue has arrived today. Proofs and signals are no longer needed today. Divine knowledge depends no more on revelations speeches or act of worshipping today Today and species signs and symbols all have come to their final and ultimate goal. He who has contemplated with his own eyes the divine press essence in person he has contemplated with his own eyes the totality of the divine signs and revelations whereas who show you it outwardly only through the names and attributes he knew in fact the reverse side of you still obscured with a veil you the inhabitants of the worlds you are Jinns men & angels know that Mawlana is the resurrector - Qiyam al Qiyâmat, he is the Lord of the old beings and everything in existence. He is the absolute Lord free from names, attributes and limits because he is all transcending in the sense that no description encompasses him no place is empty of him no limit can be attributed to him. Nothing is hidden from him because he is everywhere he has opened up the door of the his mercy and because of his mercy every being is seeing hearing speaking living for eternity it is therefore the duty of all to glorify him and thank him even though by his essence he is all knowing and glorious”

Date and Place of the Declaration

This Farman was conveyed and proclaimed by:

“Imam ‘alā dhikrihi al-salām

At Alamūt
8 August 1164 some date is 15 August 1164 - 17th Day of Ramadan

Subsequent Farmans

After this declaration, Imam ‘alā dhikrihi al-salām made two further Farmans, both beginning with the words:

“Naḥnu l-ḥāḍirūn al-mawjūdūn”

“We are always living, manifest, and present.”

⸻

The Celebration of ‘Idd al-Alamūt

After the ceremony, the Imam invited the jamā‘at to celebrate ‘Idd al-Alamūt.

It is reported that following the ceremony and Farman-sermon, Imam Hasan joined the assembled community to break the fast, amidst mutual congratulations and celebration. Shortly thereafter, he dispatched his deputies to Ismaili communities in Quhistān and Syria to conduct similar ceremonies and to recite the sermon.

From this point onward, the Nizārī Ismaili communities acknowledged Hasan as their Caliph, Imam, and Qā’im, and the 17th of Ramadān came to be observed annually as the Festival of Resurrection (Qiyāma).

The Imam’s exalted spiritual rank was further recognised through the honorific title ‘alā dhikrihi al-salām — “upon whose mention be peace.”

⸻

What Does Qiyāma Mean in Ismaili Spirituality?

In Ismaili spirituality, Qiyāma is not understood as a physical end of time, but rather as illumination — a profound spiritual awakening of the human intellect and soul through the Farmans of the Imams, grounded in the Qur’an and the Will of Allah.

It signifies a reality in which relative outward forms are understood as part of unveiled inner realities, and where symbols, rituals, and external signs culminate in the direct recognition of divine truth, as guided by the Imam’s Farmans the source of which is Quran & Allah’s will

Full Testimony

*Youth Mulaqat 2*
*Highlights and Key Guidance* (from a youth attendee)

Hazar Imam had a morning session with Youth (mostly London based). I was in the afternoon session (mostly Youth outside London). Hazar Imam had left the venue (Ismaili Center) after the morning session.

He returned in the evening to grace a Youth Mulaqat to the second group and the institutional reception. The Mulaqat was held in the Prayer Hall of the Ismaili Centre in London. For the morning session, Hazar Imam arrived earlier, but for the afternoon session, he was a bit late from schedule. The youth were very energetic and warmly welcomed Mawlana Hazar Imam with Salwat.

Hazar Imam entered the building and Salwat Recitation started. He was received by Jamati leaders after which he made his way upstairs to his room. After a while, Hazar Imam made his way to the Prayer Hall, where the Youth Jamat was desperately waiting for him. Outside the hall, He waved the volunteers in the cloakroom and shoe area.

Student Mukhi Kamadiya welcomed Mawlana Hazar Imam outside the prayer hall (we could see on the screens). And the next moment, Khudavind was walking amongst us all the way to the stage at the front. Hazar Imam's walking pace was fast, as he was on the stage in just a minute (or at least I felt so). Also the prayer Hall is not so big, so there was a very small distance from the entrance to the stage.

While Khudavind was walking through the Hall, Salwat Recitation continued aloud, until he sat on his Takht.

After he sat, Devotional Recitations were done from South Asian, Syrian and Persian traditions. After this Khudavind Imam-e-Zaman graciously made a Farman to us. Below are key points (in random order)

Hazar Imam was in a very Jolly mood and cracked jokes a couple of times.

He started Farman with: "My Dearest Jamat". He graciously wished us *Good Afternoon*. He gave blessings for Mushkil Aasan, Good Health, Success and Happiness and Barakaat, and said Khanavadan.

Hazar Imam said in the beginning of his Farman, that as our Imam, he is very much concerned about our education. Then he jokingly said that it's sometimes good to be able to skip school for a couple of days and he knows it very well being a father .

* He said that he is very happy to be with the young members of the Jamat. When he sees us youth, he sees the future of the Jamat in our generation and the future ones.
* Hazar Imam spoke about Bayah. He said that each one of us has a permanent spiritual bond with our imam. He cares for us and loves us and wants us to know that we are always in his heart, in his thoughts and in his prayers.
*
* He said that meeting with youth in prayer hall of Ismaili centre is very meaningful to him. Whenever we return to this space or any other Jamatkhana, it will remind us of this special meeting with Imam.
* He advised to make good career choices which will help us throughout our lives.
* He wants his spiritual children to be happy and told us to smile. It makes him happy if the Jamat is happy.
* Hazar Imam spoke of global conflict and said that he anticipates that it will continue for some time. He prayed for the peaceful and equitable resolution of conflicts
* Hazar Imam spoke about the status and respect the elderly in the Jamat deserve. He said to learn from their experience. Their experience is invaluable and nowhere else to be found. He said sometimes we take them for granted and think that they hardly know how the world today works (and joked that wish his children would understand this ).
* Hazar Imam advised us to step out of our comfort zone and take on tasks which are difficult but will make you stronger. He said: Don't give up on something because it is hard. Take on challenges, they make you strong.
* He reminded the youth Jamat that they are here in the UK and Ireland because someone stepped out of their comfort zone - parents, grandparents or perhaps great grandparents. We should treat them with respect and care for them as they did when we were young.
* Hazar Imam told us to learn about the mosaic of different traditions of Jamat. Learn about your own culture, history and heritage. And see where your cultural heritage fits into greater Ismaili history.
* He stressed on the issue of social media redirecting us towards not so good things. He wants us to connect with each other in person and spend time with each other in the real world.
* Hazar Imam reminded that only soul is enteral. Just as our bodies need nourishment, so does our soul. So take time out from your routine and remember Allah, thank Him for all the blessings you have.
* When possible come together to pray in Jamatkhana and whenever possible for you, remember Allah.
* On Imamat Day, we are to receive a Tasbeeh from Hazar Imam, and he wants us to keep that as a reminder of this meeting and to use it to remember Allah.
* Hazar Imam graciously prayed for spiritual wellbeing, happiness, physical and mental health, Mushkil Aasan, Sirat-e-Mustaqim
* He reminded us of the ethics and values of our faith. Kindness, generosity, humility. We are a community known for our ethics and values.
* Keep the values central to your life.
* Let your life revolve around faith.
* He said that we will soon receive a copy of Farmans. He wants us to read and understand them.

Mehmani was presented by Student Mukhi Kamadiya and Mukhiyani Kamadiyani of each Jamatkhana. Hazar Imam graced the dry fruits and sweets with his Mubarak blessing and blessed Mukhi Kamadiya and Mukhiyani Kamadiyani of each Jamatkhana placing his blessed hands on their shoulders.

Before leaving the Hall, Hazar Imam made a Farman.
* He said I accept your Mehmani and services
* Gave blessings to volunteers
* Gave blessings to who are a shoulder for someone in difficulty to lean on.
* Gave Dua Ashish for Mushkil Aasan, Unity and Barakaat, and graciously said Khanavadan.

When he left the Hall, he had a conversation with Students Mukhi Kamadiya and Mukhiyani Kamadiyani who were on stage with him.

He thanked them for being with him asked them about their studies, and education and whether they were born in the UK or somewhere else. Kamadiya Saheb went emotional while talking to Hazar Imam and *MAWLA HUGGED HIM*. He also blessed Mukhi Saheb by placing both His Mubarak Hands on Student Mukhi's both shoulders.

While making his way out, President Naushad briefed Hazar Imam about a Shukrana Painting (Different than the planned Mosaic). Hazar Imam then made his way towards Institutional Reception in the Social Hall.

Youth in the Hall were sooo happy and were happily greeting each other and sharing their experiences to each other (which was a bit noisy , and Waezeen had to repeatedly shush us by saying on mic to us to be quiet and whisper )

Everyone was soooo happy.

When coming out of Ismaili centre at about 8.45pm or around he waved the Jamat standing opposite road! Everyone was very happy.


Above is what I experienced and Remembered from the Mulaqat. Hazar Imam would also have spoken about some more things, but I might have unintentionally skipped them.

Shukar Mawla Bapa for gracing us with your Didar and making us feel close to you

Shukranlillah Walhamdulillah

[mahebubchatur]

[mahebubchatur]

Farmans conveyed by Mawlana Hazar Imam are rooted in the Holy Qur’an — Allah’s will & final message conveyed by Prophet Muhammed - and its living continuum of interpretation and spiritual manifestations.

They are to be shared with. and upheld by, all the Jamat without exception.

Hazar Imam has also re assured us in Farmans that ;

• When the Imam gives Farmans concerning the future, they are based on and a manifestation of knowledge, insight, and information that murids do not possess.
• Because of this deeper knowledge & understanding, his Farmans are carefully weighed and conveyed toward the long-term welfare, protection, and progress of the Jamat.
• The Jamat is cautioned against being influenced by rumours, misinformation speculation, or individuals who speak irresponsibly or present personal opinions as though they reflect the Imam’s opinion or Farmans
• Imam says that While individuals remain free to hold alternate views on material or worldly matters, such views must not be attributed to the Imam or presented as his guidance or Farman.
• The Imam consistently calls upon the Jamat to practise pluralism patience, unity, calmness, daily, and collective courage when facing challenges, recognising that the solutions he conveys from Allah are those most beneficial for the Jamat’s present and future.

Overall

These Farmans underscore the importance of reading, understanding, sharing, and acting upon the Imam’s guidance — fostering unity, preventing misinformation or misrepresentation, and aligning the community with guidance that is grounded in the Qur’an and informed by a broader awareness of present realities and future needs.

The following excerpts from 1973 Farman, illustrate this enduring guidance and demonstrate how all Farmans remain relevant today and for them to be shared & upheld by every Murid without exception

“ When I decide to make a Farman for the future of My spiritual children, remember that this Farman and the contents of it have been carefully weighed and that I have information which My spiritual children do not have. And this evening I want you to reflect carefully about the dangers of letting the Jamat be misguided by rumours, by people who talk freely, irresponsibly and out of turn. The Quran would reveal to the Muslims and in the Quran you will find many, many Ayats which refer to the risks and the dangers of Muslims being led astray by rumour-mongers.
Aga Khan
Farman 13 December 1973


“I would like you to remember that the Imam has information which is much wider, which is much deeper than you can ever have and it is because of this that I will never allow My Jamat to impose a point of view or to seek to convey to the Jamat that it is the Imam's point of view that this or that should be done. If there are individuals amongst you who have certain views on material matters which are different from those of the Imam, then those individuals are free to follow their thoughts. That they should not seek to convey to the Jamat that those thoughts are the thoughts of the Imam because this is not the case. And I would like you to remember that if I have very often said to My spiritual children be patient, be calm, be united, and if there are problems face them together and with courage, it is because although I am well aware that there are alternate solutions, I consider these alternate solutions infinitely less valid for My Jamat than the ones which I am recommending to you. And I know that My spiritual children have at times thought to themselves particularly after the Uganda crisis, "If the Ugandans have been able to resettle in Western Europe, in Canada, in the U.S.A., why do we not. do the same thing?" But I want you to remember that what is happening in these countries and what is happening to the Jamats in these countries is not known to My Jamat here”
Aga Khan 13 December 1973

The fundamental principles and values of our faith have not changed
We learn them from the Qur'an, from the example of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), and from the Farmans of the Imams. Hazar Imam 2025

The Ismaili constitution was amended and ordained on 11 Feb 2025, and related Farmans, are today still being withheld from the Jamat by the long standing Leaders -

Reminder - Farman from Hazar Imam they all pledged to uphold on 11 Feb 2025 and since

"I AM MOST HAPPY TO INFORM MY JAMAT THAT I HAVE DIRECTED THAT THE UPDATED CONSTITUTION WHICH ENCOMPASSES THE INSTRUMENT I SIGNED ON THE OCCASION OF MY TAKHT-NISHINI BE MADE AVAILABLE TO MY JAMAT" HAZAR IMAM
