"First I would place spiritual happiness. A man must be at one with God. This may sound old-fashioned to some people. A few may think that they do not believe in God, and some others that it matters little to the individual in his daily life how he stands with regard to Him. Ruling out the atheist, with whom a believer can no more argue than he can discuss colour with a blind man, it is surely strange that a believer in an omnipotent and ever-present Deity should fail to realise that how we stand this instant and every instant toward Him matters to us more than anything else in the universe. That is the fundamental question: Are you in harmony with God? If you are — you are happy." - Imam Shah Sultan Muhammad Shah Aga Khan III My Personal Life — What a man needs to be happy NOV 2, 1931 #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.

"It would be traumatic if those pillars of the Islamic way of life, social justice, equality, humility and generosity, enjoined upon us all, were to lose their force or wide application in our young society. It must never be said generations hence that in our greed for the material good of the rich West we have forsaken our responsibilities to the poor, to the orphans, to the traveller, to the single woman." - Imam Shah Karim al-Husayni Aga Khan IV Peshawar University Convocation Ceremony (Peshawar, Pakistan), 30 November 1967 http://www.nanowisdoms.org/nwblog/1494/ #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.

Say: I ask of you no reward therefore, save loving kindness towards near relatives (qurba). (Holy Qur'an 42:23) "Ibn 'Abbas... said, 'Who are these near relatives (qurba), O Messenger of God, to whom loving kindness is due for your sake?' He replied, 'Ali and Fatima and their progeny.'" - Da'i Qadi al-Numan, Da'a'im al-Islam (The Pillars of Islam), The Book of Walaya, p. 88 Bonus pictures of Mawlana Hazar Imam at the Royal ascot races. #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.
