“We’re beginning to see in many parts of the Muslim world … how global warming is beginning to create situations where life is at risk, where it was not at risk before. We’re seeing villages are being wiped away by earthquakes, by landslides, by avalanches, we’re seeing people moving to dangerous areas in modern environments. I would ask you to try to bring this issue forward so that we address it in good time. I see these crises of change as being badly predicted.” — Imam Shah Karim al-Husayni Aga Khan IV Gulf News, November 5, 2016 http://gulfnews.com/news/uae/culture/aga-khan-warns-climate-change-will-affect-muslim-world-1.1924725 #Ismaili #Ismailism #AgaKhan #AhlAlBayt #ProudIsmaili #HazarImam #OneJamat #GlobalWarming #ClimateChange #ClimateCrisis 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.

“I am the meaning of Ramadan; I am Laylat al-Qadr mentioned in the Mother of the Book. My utterance is decisive, for I am Surah al-Hamd. I am the purpose of prayer itself, whether at home or when travelling. I am the purpose of fasting, and the sacred anniversaries in the months of the year.” – Imām ‘Alī ibn Abī Ṭālib (Khuṭbah al-Iftikhār) Read more at: https://ismailignosis.com/2012/12/24/esoteric-apocalypse-qiyamah-ismaili-muslim-perspectives-on-the-end-of-the-world-part-1/ #Ismailis #Ismailism #AgaKhan #AhlAlBayt #ProudIsmaili #LayltulQadr #NightOfPower 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.

"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.
