“The message I will always give is that humanity cannot deal with present day problems without a basis of religion.” - Imam Shah Karim al-Husayni Aga Khan IV Press Conference (Kampala, Uganda), 18 September 1959 http://www.nanowisdoms.org/nwblog/10077/ #Ismaili #Ismailism #AgaKhan #AhlAlBayt #ProudIsmaili #HazarImam #OneJamat #DiamondJubilee #CanadaCelebratesDJ #ProudToBeACanadianIsmaili #JACanada #JubileeArts Please visit www.ismailignosis.com or ask.ismailignosis.com or visit our Facebook page www.facebook.com/IsmailiGnosis for more gems about Mawlana Hazar Imam, the Imamat, and Ismaili history and philosophy.

Welcome back to Kenya Mawlana Hazar Imam! "When I speak of places that have played a major role in my life, no place comes to mind more quickly than Kenya. My ties here go back to my “toto” days — how can I ever forget our childhood house on Caledonian Road, now named the Denis Pritt road and the mega rhubarb I grew up the rain-water drain, or driving down the garden steps in the late Sir Eboo’s car? And how could I forget my brother’s despair when his pet bantam chickens were eaten one night by a visiting leopard? Little did I suspect that the next night my rabbits would suffer the same fate." - Imam Shah Karim al-Husayni Aga Khan IV (Kenyan State Banquet, 13 August 2007) #Ismaili #Ismailism #AgaKhan #AhlAlBayt #ProudIsmaili #HazarImam #OneJamat #DiamondJubilee #CanadaCelebratesDJ #ProudToBeACanadianIsmaili #JACanada #JubileeArts Please visit www.ismailignosis.com or ask.ismailignosis.com or visit our Facebook page www.facebook.com/IsmailiGnosis for more gems about Mawlana Hazar Imam, the Imamat, and Ismaili history and philosophy.
