"Indeed, the tradition of Islamic gardens places an emphasis on human stewardship, on our responsibility to nature and the protection of the natural world. We see that principle expressed in the disciplined use of geometric form — framing the power and mystery of nature. But, today, the real requirement — the sine qua non — is building a constituency for sustainability, including an engaged local community. Our responsibility to be good stewards of the earth extends to cultural heritage, whether in the form of parks or monuments. I believe this stewardship is even more critical today than ever before. In the developing and the developed parts of the world alike, societies are plunging into an increasingly bewildering future at an ever-accelerating pace. At such a time — and on occasions such as this — it is important that we commit ourselves ever more ardently to the essential work of sustaining cultural heritage so that it can remain a powerful contributor to improving the quality of life for the entirety of the human community.” - Imam Shah Karim al-Husayni Aga Khan IV https://www.akdn.org/publication/aga-khan-garden #Ismaili #Ismailism #AgaKhan #AhlAlBayt #ProudIsmaili #HazarImam #OneJamat 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.

“Recent events oblige us to reflect on how environmental pollution and the resulting climate change are heavily affecting the ecosystem of our lives. I am referring to the latest fiery hurricanes, including Irma, who also hit our winter office at Virgin Gorda and had a devastating impact on the Caribbean populations. Because of the warming of the oceans, situations like this will be on the agenda if we do not introduce virtuous and incisive behaviors. From today. It is therefore our duty to strive to reduce the high level of environmental pollution, trying to restore the balance between man and nature…. Today, however, the only natural process is not enough to safeguard the sea: it is necessary to act urgently and introduce a real code of behavior. Social consciousness, ours in the first place, needs to be urged on these unimaginable themes, so that everyone can understand the importance that even small gestures take.” - Imam Shah Karim al-Husayni Aga Khan IV (Translated from Italian) https://ismailimail.wordpress.com/2017/10/07/his-highness-the-aga-khan-act-urgently-to-restore-balance-between-man-and-nature/ #Ismaili #Ismailism #AgaKhan #AhlAlBayt #ProudIsmaili #HazarImam #OneJamat #ClimateChange 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.

Ismaili Gnosis Presents the article: Ramadan Fasting in Shia Ismaili Islam - A Historical Overview "If, rightly, the Muslims have kept till now to the forms of prayer and fasting at the time of the Prophet, it should not be forgotten that it is not the forms of prayer and fasting that have been commanded, but the facts, and we are entitled to adjust the forms to the facts of life as circumstances changed. It is the same Prophet who advises his followers ever to remain Ibnu’l-Waqt (i.e. children of the time and period in which they were on earth), and it must be the natural ambition of every Muslim to practice and represent his Faith according to the standard of the Waqt or space-time.” – Imam Sultan Muhammad Shah Aga Khan III, (Foreword, Al-Hajji Qassim Jairazbhoy, Muhammad: A Mercy To all the Nations, 14) Read the article: https://ismailignosis.com/2016/06/03/ramadan-fasting-in-shia-ismaili-islam-a-historical-overview/ #Ismaili #Ismailism #AgaKhan #AhlAlBayt #ProudIsmaili#HazarImam #OneJamat #Ramadhan 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.

Happy Mother's Day to our spiritual mother!!!! "When a devotee comes out of the lap of his spiritual mother he enters a new world where he sees things which no eye has seen, no ear has heard and no mind has thought of. This world, compared to the world he leaves behind, will appear to him as big as the physical world compared to his accommodation in the womb of his mother. To enter a world of this type is certainly a profitable concern and a positive gain. But we must bear in mind that we can never enjoy this world unless we are brought up in the lap of the Imam. If any one of us withdraws himself from the lap of those who re-shape and re-form our lives and prepares us for perpetual life, he misses the purpose of his life. He makes his life topsy-turvy and loses not only the profit on the capital, the eternal salvation, but even the capital of his physical life here. The holy Qur'an says, 'Their transaction did not thrive and they were not properly guided.'" - Al Muayyad fid-din Shirazi http://www.amaana.org/muayyad/muaylect16.htm #Ismaili #Ismailism #AgaKhan #AhlAlBayt #ProudIsmaili #HazarImam #OneJamat 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.
