Some notes on Golden Jubilee rhetoric...

Post by hari »

Ya 'Ali Madad and a belated Nowruz Mubarak to everyone,

This note is partly in response to some of the messages that have been posted since the visits were announced for the American Jamat – to whom i would like to wish a sincere Mubaraki and best of fortune in preparation for this long-awaited visit.

In regards to the harsh criticisms directed to the LIF, I cannot be sure if they are appropriately founded but as a Canadian resident, i can say that when the announcement about the American Darbar was made in jamatkhanas across Canada, no restrictions were announced therewith. This gave the impression that the International Jamat would have the opportunity to select any of the four locations – and possibly even more than one! By visiting the website that was set up on the same day, we realized that there was a discrepancy between the information in the announcement and the information on the website. To this end, i would implore that our leadership exercise greater clarity in their communication and better transparency in their practices for the future. The ethical precepts upon which the Development Network and our Institute are based should therefore permeate our Jamati Institutions as well!

Notwithstanding the socio-economic status of the Texas Jamat (and surrounding area) or its sheer size (to which “shamsB” has aptly alluded) the simple fact that the Imam will be visiting Texas will draw attention to him and by extension, his murids regardless of how many other Internationals decide to attend. As it has already been said: there are supposedly over sixty thousand registrants for the San Antonio, Texas visit alone! By saying that the International Jamat will attract unwanted attention is not a legitimate reason to disallow them from attending. If indeed, the current Darbar venue cannot accommodate additional registrants, this is a perfectly legitimate reason to close registration but it is necessary that all levels of our leadership maintain a/this consistent message.

Despite the resources that we have at our disposal, they are after all finite and it is important that the international Jamat be aware of this fact and (at the very least) exercise caution in proceeding to make arrangements. In response to “hedgehog78” i can personally empathize with your case as we too desperately wanted to partake in the Atlanta, Georgia Darbar with our family but cannot do so. Some people have told me that they will simply “show up” in Atlanta or San Antonio but this is something that i do not promote. The most sensible advice that i can think of is to contact the “Darbar Hotline” in order to explain your situation and see if they are willing to grant your family an exception. In light of the restrictions, some families have opted to change their registration from Atlanta and San Antonio to join family in Los Angeles or Chicago. Insh’Allah this will have opened up some spaces for others who would like to attend the Darbar in Georgia or Texas with their families.

In regards to this idea of “Didar-chasing” or as a friend of mine poignantly calls it, “Didar-hopping” this is an amusing topic over which i will keep my words to a minimum. i would like to direct these thoughts particularly to “Bashir786” whom I felt inappropriately responded to a message posted by “deal588”. At the offset, it is important to refer to the firman made by the Imam on the occasion of His Silver Jubilee in Dodoma, Tanzania in November 1982 (the remarks will not be quoted here) where He explicates upon the concept of Didar and its importance for the Jamat. We should not presume or seek to know the intention of each person or his relationship with the Imam but our own. Indeed, the heart of the true believer is sacred – an important Hadith tells us, “My Heavens and My Earth do not contain Me, but the heart of My believing servant contains Me”.

All the best to everyone; that they may experience the Grace of the Imam and His Peace...

I see no problem in d3c3nt trying to do deedar with his immediate family. I do not think you have a right to question the intentions of any member of the jamat who wishes to join his family in this mometous occasion. As you correctly pointed out, this is an issue between the murid and the murshid. If it makes d3c3nt happy to join his family then so be it. Nobody is denying the immense spiritual importance of deedar but to question the satisfaction of having your immediate family present is absurd. Ours is not only a spiritual faith. The balance between worldy and spiritual aspects of our lives has been emphasized in numerous farmans.

Lets keep this thread clean of personal discussions.

We would like this thread to give information and testimonies on Didars.

We can not allow it to degenerate on philosophical discussion.

The moment we start categorizing Ismailis, we are on the wrong track. We can not have first class Ismailis and third class Ismailis according to their gender, race, country of residence whatever, when Imam Himself has already stated otherwise.

Is this the right thread to discuss these issues? Certainly not. So please keep this just for sharing, not for disputing. We are not allowed to judge. Those who want to go to any Didar, let them go. It is between the Murid and their Imam. There is no person, Institution or Leader that can come in between that powerful bond. So please abstain ;-)

So, irrelevant discussion will have to be deleted or moved to another thread. That will be done soon.

About time it was noticed.
There was too much finger pointing and accusations going on.
Thanks a lot for removing it.

Agree with above. Let's all enjoy this occasion and forget the acrimony and divisions that still linger in the subconcious of some brothers and sisters. Time to come together and not drift further apart. As Grand ma used to say "Each finger on the hand is different, but when they come together they form a strong fist".

Chicago darbar

Post by sana82 »

YAM,
i was looking at the darbar venues and at the hotel recommendations made to the jamat and i'm very disappointed at the selections that were chosen.
Why are they telling us to stay 15 miles away from the darbar hall and not informing the jamat that there are hotels directly across the street.
I am planning on attending the chicago darbar and only after talking to a friend of mine from chicago did i learn about the much nicer, closer accomodations that they are failing to tell us about.
If anyone is attending the chicago darbar, there are about 7 nice hotels right around the darbar hall that still have rooms left and you will not need a shuttle bus or a car to transport you around.

Just a suggestion.

Well maybe that is because they are giving you the names of the hotels that they have made special arrangements with for low rates for us! =].

There is no restriction on anyone to pick the hotels that they want and what is convenient to them…so by all means check into the hotel that you found!

I go to the main jamatkhana in Chicago and things are really starting to pick up....people finding out their duties inside and outside the darbar hall(both uniform and non-uniform), long lines for the entry card pick-ups, new faces in the jamatkhana, attending the volunteer trainings, the adab sessions...it is all so exciting...I have the good fortune of getting selected for intezaari ginan recitation and we will start to practice with our fellow members from the northeastern and other district jamats on Monday and Tuesday whole days in Northlake jamatkhana and then go to the darbar venue Tuesday afternoon for our final rehearsal so we are ready to go on Wednesday!
It is my first and it is all so exciting!
Thank you bapa..so much!

Congratulations brother, al-azhar. Yes, we are all very excited to see our Beloved Mowla. Hope each and every Ismaili has a wonderful deedar which he/she will remember for the rest of their lives.

Thank you Mowla for gracing the U.S. Jamat. Hope in the near future He will grace the rest of the global Jamat. Ameen.

Perry to host Muslim sect's spiritual leader
Aga Khan, governor to sign UT pact with Mideast university.
By W. Gardner Selby
AMERICAN-STATESMAN STAFF
Friday, April 11, 2008

Texas Gov. Rick Perry plans to host a private dinner followed by fireworks near Austin on Saturday to honor the Aga Khan, a descendant of the Prophet Muhammad celebrating his 50th year as the spiritual leader of a Muslim sect.

Earlier in the day, the leaders are expected to be on hand as the University of Texas signs an agreement with Aga Khan University, which has campuses in Pakistan and other countries, fostering student and teacher exchanges between the institutions.

Aga Khan Harvard grad is descendant of the Prophet Muhammad.
Khan, a wealthy, Harvard-educated businessman and philanthropist, leads the Shia Imami Ismaili Muslims, an offshoot of the Shiite branch of Islam, claiming 12 million to 16 million believers in 25 countries including tens of thousands in Texas.

Perry, 58, and Khan, 71, struck up an improbable friendship nearly a decade ago, resulting in a UT program exposing schoolteachers to Muslim beliefs and culture.

The jet-setting Khan grew up in Kenya and lives in France and owns hundreds of race horses. Perry was born and raised in West Texas before earning a degree at Texas A&M University.

In 2000, Perry, then lieutenant governor, visited the Aga Khan in Paris during a family trip to Europe.

Two years later, Perry and the Aga Khan visited during the opening of the Ismaili Jamatkhana and Center built in Sugar Land near Houston and at an Austin dinner hosted by Perry.

The Aga Khan Development Network subsequently funded the UT program, which has introduced 80 Texas schoolteachers to Muslim history and culture; 15 teachers have toured the Middle East, Europe and Asia.

In 2006, Perry visited a Pakistan relief center financed by the network. And last year, Perry looked at an unfinished Ismaili center in Dubai that a travel mate described as an architectural and cultural wonder that the Aga Khan is expected to replicate, to a degree, in Houston.

Eric Bearse, an outside adviser to Perry, said Saturday's "golden jubilee" event at the Texas Disposal Systems Exotic Game Ranch and Pavilion in Buda is "an opportunity for His Highness to be in the presence of a vibrant Ismaili community in Texas as well as to be with his friend, the governor."

Perry and his wife, Anita, will dine with the religious leader at a downtown hotel tonight.

Shahed Amanullah of Austin, editor-in-chief of altmuslim.com, said the Aga Khan has a solid reputation among Muslims because of his good works, partly through the development network. The network spends $350 million a year on economic, social and cultural projects concentrated in South Asia, Africa and the Middle East.

"There are a lot of non-Ismaili Muslims around the world who wish they had a leader that is as organized and as visionary," Amanullah said

Perry, who is a member of a Methodist church, and the Aga Khan emphasize the need for the Western world to understand Eastern values and vice versa. After the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, the Aga Khan said differences between Muslim-dominated countries and the Christian-dominant West don't reflect the clash of civilizations so much as clashes of ignorance.

Neither Perry's office nor members of the Ismaili community said who is paying for Saturday's invitation-only party nor did they divulge who will attend it. Perry spokesman Robert Black said it would not be financed by the state or from economic development funds.

About 20,000 to 30,000 people are expected to hear the Aga Khan on Sunday in San Antonio. His U.S. schedule also includes stops in Georgia, Illinois and California.

Noor Jehan, whose family owns an Austin dry-cleaning business, intends to spend the weekend in San Antonio for the jubilee. "It's a big, big occasion for us," Jehan said.

Asked if Ismaili Muslims liken the Aga Khan's standing to the stature of the pope for Catholics, Jehan said. "He's not a pope, who's elected by cardinals. The Aga Khan is not elected by anybody. ... He is a very special leader."

Jehan was referring to the Aga Khan becoming Imam or spiritual leader of the Shia Imami Ismaili Muslims in July 1957, succeeding his grandfather, Sir Sultan Mahomed Shah Aga Khan III, a former president of the League of Nations.


Aga Khan

Born in Geneva, Switzerland, Dec. 13, 1936

Grew up in Nairobi, Kenya

Attended Swiss boarding school before Harvard University, where he graduated with honors with a degree in Islamic history

Succeeded his grandfather, Sir Sultan Mahomed Shah Aga Khan, as the Ismaili Imamat at the age of 20 on July 11, 1957, becoming the 49th hereditary spiritual leader (Imam) of the Shia Ismaili Muslims

Wealth reportedly exceeds $1 billion

Owns two jets, stud farms and hundreds of race horses

Poem titled as Hazar Imam Golden Jubilee 2007

Post by alisa »

Hazar Imam’s Golden Jubilee

We are in year of Golden Jubilee celebration
Contemplating ways how to begin deliberation
Such events comes once in lifetime to be in session
Have to think meaning of; and define its definition

If we think where were and where we are
Let's begin from 1957 don't go; any further far
I remember those days socially we were at war
Fighting day and night to come out of that war

Slowly and gradually we were moving our cars
Suddenly Mowla injected jet fuel in 1942 cars
That sped up development to see beyond stars
His vision accelerated developments with no wars

In all walk of life moving with Godspeed so far
Soon will be at peak; to be with others at par
Virtually owning a country with no land so far
Mowla is the king; His obedient servants; we are

World amazed; how this happened with no army and wars
This is the outcome of His Vision beyond; Galaxy of Stars
I'm dreaming off to start celebration in my kingdom of stars
Angels; and Fairies are jubilant to come down from Mars!

Poem titled as 'Imam - The divine authority'

Post by alisa »

Ya Ali Madad to you All

Golden Jubilee and Padhramni Mubarak with spiritual fire work!

Here is another of my poem. Just have look at it and feel feelings of Imam's divine vision as He being a diety of divination;

At any age; Imam is Imam

Imagine at 20 he is enthroned as Imam to rein us religiously
His grand father transmitted divine light into him; spiritually
All Ismailis submitted; pledge of allegiance unconditionally
In Jubilation; surrendered Din and Dunya to him; willingly

People close to him know; he's not a common man to deal
Continuously travels round the globe; still fresh he feels
Being a man; changing destiny of millions; on plains and hills
Spiritual power gives him advance intimation to go up hill

He speaks fluently on any topics with philosophical skills
Listen; what he says; has something over and above your skill
With instinct of intellect; we all benefit from; what he reveals
He is the man, has the power to change destiny; at his will

Built his; the tallest religious; and secular empire ethically
Being truth; follows the truth; does the business truthfully
A man 70 years of age; with 50 years; he is in spiritually
Beauty of him; reach fruits of his gardens to all; equally

No one noticed; how he is creating miracle after miracles
After a 2 or 3 generation; will follow him; all intellectuals
By that time truth will be out; shed opinion all intellectuals
Those who will be left behind; will be still dealing in rituals

Being Mohammed descendent; no need of explanation
He has knowledge of all domains; it’s in manifestation
As he has instinct of spiritual intuition to fulfill his vision
Visualize his accomplishment; a vision of inspirations

Incredibly; He established his authority in last fifty years
He's a unique leader; with no land establish his kingdom
Countries he visits; receives a guard of honor; plays his anthem
His divine doctrine of pluralistic approach; paid the dividend!

Bow my head to pay tribute to him in Golden Jubilee celebration
I can go out of ethics; and norms to make it a grand deliberation
I am in his command; go by his words for my spiritual salvation
Anything I do; can’t compare; is a tiny humble Nazrana in inclination


Amir Samji

Thank you so much for your time and once again Padhramni and Golden Jubilee Mubarak.

Poem titled as 'Imam - The divine authority'

Post by alisa »

Ya Ali Madad to you All

Golden Jubilee and Padhramni Mubarak with spiritual fireworks!

Here is another of my poem titled as 'Imam - the divine authority' just have a look at it and feel feelings of His divine vision and I see it happening soon!

Imam – the divine authority – A Golen Jubilee Nazrana

He is not an ordinary man to see qualifications and experience of him
He is in possession of divine power; he; in himself is a complete team
There is something; I don’t know how to pronounce; I have no means
A lot written and writers keep writing; but they are still lack of means

Everyday a new knowledge of domain is opening up; to express him
Those days are not very far; have to compile an encyclopedia of him
Will have to open a school of thoughts; equip with intellectuals team
When unable to cope; finally; have to open up a faculty of discipline

Then you will find thesis of his vision will teach in all universities
I did not compile; but those who will do; be a millionaire team
I know somewhat about him; that’s why this much I feel within
It’s not beyond philosophical thinking; put your calculation in!

My prediction is on the basis of; I see them in curriculum team
See; there are some shortcoming; and flaw; but they are Deans
But some theses are powerful enough; to make in road; into in
There are many newbie; thirsty of knowledge; to acknowledge in

Human being going through drastic change; need to discipline
Need someone who has caliber of futuristic vision to intervene
To fill in vacuum; I don’t see anybody around; other than him
When the man; holder of divine authority steps in serenity gets in

Post by alisa »

Ya Ali Madad to you All

Golden Jubilee and Padhramni Mubarark with spiritual fireworks!

Golden Jubilee Khushiyali celebration at his peak and every Ismailis' heart is dancing in joy. Joy of Mowla coming to USA; Joy of renewing and repledging; pledge of allegiance to Him and thank Him for what He did in last 50 years not for only Ismailis, not for all Muslims; but what he did for entire human race i.e. incredible; deserve praise from everywhere; every corner; every nation; and every continent and beauty of it He serves all impartially.

My heart dance with joy

When I see thousands of Volunteers
When I see millions of well-wishers
When I see millions of donors
When I see my Followers live with honors

My heart dance with joy

It is in Islam’s basic
It is in Islam’s ethics
It is Mohammed’s classic
It is Ali’s philosophical thesis

When I see all these being followed;
My heart dance with joy

When I see my Murids follow the ethics
When I see my Murids punctual in Du’a
When I see my Murids regular in Bundagi
When I see my Murids religiously in Khidmat

This is enough for my heart to dance with joy

There is still a lot to be done
It’s not difficult, do it like a fun
Follow me to have a great run
We’re in process of realization

When I see it is happening; my heart dance with joy

You’ll be doing nothing; just follow my instructions
I am with you to bring back lost glory for resurrection
We are in Golden Jubilee; in process of image creation
It is crystal clear; to accomplish; will take generations

When I feel feelings of; my heart dance with joy

I see Ismailis are the most generous people
They are very adorable; and very simple
No matter where I’m; my blessings; bless on them equal
I would love to do that as it is part of my divine rituals

When I am blessing; my heart dance with joy

When I see everywhere peace, I am in peace
I’m deity of divinity with divinely bliss
This is my divine vision, seeing it accomplish
It’s within my power but humanly I perceive

When I feel feelings of; my heart dance with joy

There are human limitations what I pursue
It caste shadow over what I do
But I know how to do; and I do
I accomplish my vision; being a spiritual Guru

When I see all these in my command; my heart dance with joy

I have to cover up with layer of human limitations
I have to be compassionate with human compassions
I know what I am doing; because it is my creation
Apparently you feel but; there is no such limitation

This is the reason; my heart dance with joy

Amir Samji

Once again thank you from bottom of my heart. I love you all. As love is the theme of creation.

Pray for each other, this paves the way of our salvation and no one goes sinful when he/she dies.

Poem titled as 'Song of Golden Jubilee'

Post by alisa »

Ya Ali Madad to you All

This is the last one I am posting for today; called 'A song of Golden Jubilee'. I am sure you all will like it. There is no reason of not liking.


A song of Golden Jubilee

Everybody is singing songs of his 50 Golden years
There is something in it; everybody wants to hear
Sun never sets in his kingdom; day light everywhere
He is God’s man; God’s light is in him; divine sphere

Being descendent of Mohammed; spreading love everywhere
He himself a divine deity; follow him; would’ve no fear
He is the truth; says the truth; it is crystal clear
70 years of life; lived with ethics; as an honest player

If you see in mirror of intellect; find treasure; in layer
Further go with insight; and wisdom; divinity is there
You’re inquisitive why I’m advocating; because I am there
See with intuitive instinct of intellect; light is there

Those are with him are in serene peace; can’t you compare
Has sea of intellect & wisdom to share; to benefit be near
Secular vision; combine with religion; will have fun-fair
Thinking; to guide us; somebody like him should be here

So much has been written about him; something is there
When I think with instinct of intellect; I go full gear
Contemplate; and think who is he; and why he is here?
With philosophical inkling come close to divine sphere

Amir Samji

Let me thank you once again so we may feel feelings of celebration amongst our heart, mind and body with spiritual union.

Speech by His Highness the Aga Khan at the
Dinner hosted by the Governor
and First Lady of Texas
Austin, Texas
12 April 2008
(Please also see Related Material)

Governor Perry and First Lady Anita Perry
Distinguished Guests
Ladies and Gentlemen


Governor Perry, you have been very generous in your remarks - even as you have been most gracious in your hospitality. We are deeply grateful for the warmth of the Texas welcome which you have extended to us. Of course we have known from previous experience about the wonders of Texas hospitality. As I am told one might say in Texas, “this is not our first rodeo”. But I must also say that you have outdone yourselves today - and you have our deepest appreciation.

Of course, I know that Governor Perry is highly experienced as an official host - I understand you are about to become the longest serving governor in Texas history. And this accomplishment has only been the recent culmination of your long career in public service.

I am also looking back at a long career this year, as I mark my fiftieth anniversary as Imam of the Shia Ismaili Muslims. I have been celebrating this Golden Jubilee by visiting places which have been of particular importance to the Ismaili Community over the last half century.

As many of you know, I was studying in the United States when I succeeded my grandfather, Sir Sultan Mahomed Shah Aga Khan, as Imam in 1957. My ties here thus go back to the very beginning of my Imamat.
It is fitting that the first stop on this current visit is in Texas. Of course, Texas is known around the world as a place which likes to be first and foremost in just about every area of accomplishment! So it should come as no surprise that for the Ismaili community - as for so many others - Texas is a place where superlatives apply.

Our community’s life in the United States began only a few decades ago - as our people, like so many others, found here a welcoming land of opportunity. So many of them settled in Texas, in fact, that the Ismaili community here has recently been the fastest growing anywhere on earth.

At the heart of that growth of course, is the fact that Ismailis have felt so welcome here. And the critical reason for that compatibility, I believe, is captured in the word “opportunity”. The American ethic and ideal – the Texan ethic and ideal - has always been one of openness to others and openness to the future. It is an ethic of opportunity, which the Ismaili Community deeply shares.

This commitment to opportunity is exemplified in the vitality of your diverse multi-ethnic society. It is rooted in a deep respect for the individual human being - independent of one’s background or origins.

The Governor has cited words from the Quran about the affinity of our religious commitments. The teachings of the Quran, like those of the Bible, also resonate with the words that rang out from Philadelphia in 1776: affirming that “all men are created equal, and are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights.” Those words express our common ideal.

One of the purposes of my trip this week is to meet with the Ismaili community - all across this country. But another purpose is to meet with civic and government leaders, and to discuss ways in which the Ismaili Imamat, the institutions of our Community and the Aga Khan Development Network can partner with them even more effectively.
We would like to build, for example, on the encouraging start we have made, working with educational institutions here in Texas and elsewhere, to span the cultural gap which too often has separated the Islamic World from the West. As you may know, I see this problem not as a clash of civilizations but rather a clash of ignorances - on all sides - and ignorance is a condition that we can do much to remedy.

Similarly, I believe that we can work together to encourage the development of sustainable democracies in parts of the world where democracy has not flourished - reflecting even more rigorously on the conditions which make democracy possible, and helping democratic institutions adapt more effectively to local conditions.

Thirdly, I believe we can partner effectively in applying the world’s most advanced expertise to the challenges of development in parts of the world which are less advanced.

The United States’ position as a world leader, in my view grows directly out of its accomplishments as a Knowledge Society - and this Knowledge - rightly applied - can continue to be a resource of enormous global value.

I thought it might be appropriate for me to say a few words at this point about the Ismaili community and my role as Imam. The Ismailis are a diverse community within the Shia branch of Islam, living in many parts of the world, and encompassing numerous ethnic and linguistic traditions. Their diversity reflects the profound pluralism of the Muslim world. The diverse Ismaili community has been united over many centuries by an allegiance to the living hereditary Imam of the time.

Let me also emphasize the inseparable nature, within Islam, of faith and world: the intertwining of spiritual responsibility with the conduct of daily life. My responsibilities as Imam for interpreting the faith are thus accompanied by a strong engagement with issues relating to the quality of life, affirming the dignity of all peoples.

As many of you know, Ismaili institutions everywhere are anchored in the community’s Jamatkhanas, our places of congregation. Governor Perry has honored us by being present at the ceremonies in years past when we have laid the foundations and opened our Jamatkhanas in Texas, both in Sugarland and Plano. Most recently, the Governor’s encouragement has been instrumental in our decision to build the Community’s first high-profile Ismaili Center in the United States - and to situate it in Houston. For this support, Governor, we are profoundly grateful.

This new edifice will take its place along with six other Ismaili Centers - now located or soon to be located - in London, Vancouver, Lisbon, Dubai, Dushanbe and Toronto. You have mentioned, Governor, your own visit to the Dubai Center, which I had the honor of opening officially last month. We are confident that the new Ismaili Center in Houston, like the Center in Dubai, will not only enhance the physical fabric of the city, but will also serve as a tangible symbol of the values we share with our good neighbors here in Texas.

Shared values are what underly successful partnerships. We look forward to continuing and expanding our partnerships with the people of Texas as we work to extend the blessings of opportunity throughout our communities - and throughout the world.

My thanks to all of you for sharing in this memorable evening.

Photo: Zahur RamjiMawlana Hazar Imam and Princess Zahra began their day with a visit to the State Capitol and a meeting with Governor Rick Perry of Texas.

Following their meeting, a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) was signed between the University of Texas and the Aga Khan University that further aims to strengthen collaborations between the two institutions. The MOU was signed by President William Powers Jr. of the University of Texas and President Firoz Rasul of the Aga Khan University in the presence of the Governor of Texas and Mawlana Hazar Imam.

In his address prior to the signing, Governor Perry congratulated Mawlana Hazar Imam on his Golden Jubilee and complimented the Ismaili community in Texas. “Texas has a vibrant Ismaili Muslim community that contributes greatly to the social, economic and cultural fabric of the state” said the Governor. “Their acts of charity and good citizenship are a real tribute to His Highness’ progressive vision for the world.”

In his response, Mawlana Hazar Imam thanked the Governor for the support that the State of Texas has extended to the Jamat. “I would like to thank the State of Texas for the very warm welcome they have given to members of my community who have established themselves in the United States.”

The signing ceremony was followed by a lunch hosted by the University of Texas.

“Rare is the religious leader whose vision is so extraordinary that his appeal transcends nationality, ethnicity, and faith traditions. His Highness the Aga Khan is one such extraordinary leader.”In the evening, Mawlana Hazar Imam and Princess Zahra attended a Texas Gala hosted by the Governor and First Lady of Texas in honour of Mawlana Hazar Imam’s Golden Jubilee. Guests from across Texas were invited to the spectacular event which was opened with the singing of the US National Anthem by Shanil Wazirali.

In his address, Governor Perry honoured Mawlana Hazar Imam. “Rare is the religious leader whose vision is so extraordinary that his appeal transcends nationality, ethnicity, and faith traditions. His Highness the Aga Khan is one such extraordinary leader.”

Mawlana Hazar Imam thanked Governor Perry for the true Texan hospitality. “The American ethic and ideal — the Texan ethic and ideal — has always been one of openness to others and openness to the future. It is an ethic of opportunity, which the Ismaili community deeply shares.”

In his address Mawlana Hazar Imam also announced the establishment of a new Ismaili Centre to be located in Houston, Texas. “Most recently, the Governor’s encouragement has been instrumental in our decision to build the community’s first high-profile Ismaili Centre in the United States — and to situate it in Houston… We are confident that the new Ismaili Centre in Houston, like the Centre in Dubai, will not only enhance the physical fabric of the city, but will also serve as a tangible symbol of the values we share with our good neighbours here in Texas.”

Governor Perry then presented Mawlana Hazar Imam with a gift on behalf of the State of Texas. Afterwards, guests were treated to a colourful fireworks display which lit up the Austin skyline.

Additional photographs are available in the gallery. Also see the video of Mawlana Hazar Imam's arrival in Austin. Further details on the visit, including pictures and video clips, will continue to be posted on www.TheIsmaili.org.

Posted: 14 Apr 2008 07:41 pm Post subject: San Antonio Testimonial

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is a synopsis of Jamati activity and Imam firman:

Firstly let me congratulate to all the Ismailis on this auspicious occasion of deedar in San Antonio. It was tireless efforts of volunteers who made this three day program successful. There were about 35000.00 Jamat present during darbar. Most Jamat came on April 12 to prepare them for this glorious and magnificent day of darbar. According to my judgment, volunteer worked so hard day and night without any sleep in order for jamat to have pleasant deedar. On Saturday, there were several dance performances in Alamo dome which most of the Jamat enjoyed. Breakfast was served. Jamat were given bags contained chips, cereal bar, candies, and bottle of water. At the same time tea, chai, cookies, and many things were being served to all of the Jamat. At lunch menu was kadai kosht, naan, daal, bread, rice. There was pizza and sandwiches for Kids. Then Jamat came for prayers and recited the prayers. One of the awkward things that I saw was that people were sitting in shoes for musical performance at the same hall where Jamat recited the prayers but without shoes. Jamat were given bags contained chips, candies, and botti roll or vegetable roll. As far as the transportation was concerned, most jamati members parked on their designated parkings then shuttle took Jamat to Alamo Dome. Jamat enjoyed Dandia Rass on the Saturday night. Despite enough volunteers, there was very little mismanagement. According to my judgment, the little mismanagement occurred at food serving. The food serving spot was very congested so Jamat became very frustrated, but volunteers tried their best. It is natural that if thousands of people come at the same time to get their hands on food especially on Sunday created some confusion. There was Biryani, Ice cream, chicken, naan, sweets and many other things available for jamat to eat. As far as the activities were concerned, most Jamat understood and wait patiently in their lines. Most Jamati members were excited and could not wait for this happy occasion; therefore they neglected all the disputes. Again thanks to all the volunteers who came from all over US to San Antonio in order to prepare Jura, food, and many other things in a very short notice.

According to many people, the darbar hall opened at 4:00 am. The day was sunny and bright. People started coming as the doors opened in the convention center. The security was very tight. Jamat were given breakfast in the morning. In order for Jamat to prepare for deedar, there were many waizes and ginans recited. It was spiritual atmosphere. Every one was very excited and was waiting impatiently. Imam arrived in the convention center around 10:30 am. Imam was very happy. Imam walked for several minutes and showered us with many blessings. Most members started crying as they saw Imam after several years. Imam’s hands were seemed to be OK as Imam used both of his hands. Imam was in special Golden Jubilee Khirat. Ginan “Saheb Ji Tu More Man Bhavee” was followed by Sura al-Noor and translation. Then Imam rose to give firman. Imam gave blessings to all the spiritual children in the beginning then Imam gave special blessings to all the volunteers who made this visit possible. In the beginning of his Firman, Imam expected us to correct the bad image of Islam especially in Western World. Imam wants us to become ambassador of Islam. Imam said if anyone does not understand our faith guide them and even by explaining them they don’t understand, guide them again but don’t be angry. Imam said that there is an economic down turn all over the world so you should not be panic. By uniting and helping each other will solve most of the problems. Imam gave special blessings to those who have given time and knowledge Nazrana. Imam also gave special blessings to those who gave material nazrana. Imam said that after giving this nazrana it will multiply and multiply several times in your lives. Imam said that this nazrana will help him to set up new institutions which will solve the problems of other Jamat who is very poor in other parts of the world. Imam said that our actions must reflect the true face of Islam. Our “social habits” must also reflect our faith. Imam also remembered his senior murids and told our young generation to fully take care their parents and grand parents. Imam also said that education is very important and those who have achieved the education know its real value. Imam said that religion is not something time constraint or you can pray from one to two or four to five. Islam asks us for full submission at all time. Imam said to keep Tasbeeh with us all the time. Imam showered his blessings for Mushkil Assan, unity in our families, Sirat al- Mustakeem, good health, and prosperity in our lives. Imam even said that he can even see his jamat at the end of the hall. Imam said to take his blessings to your jamat and to your families wherever they live.

As Imam was leaving the hall, Imam stopped at one patient and gave blessings to his son for taking care of his father. Imam showed us to be like that son and take some lessons from him. As Imam left Jamat rose for Shukrana Tasbeeh. After Tasbeeh, Ginans were being recited but it was stopped by Imam Message that Imam wants his murids to do Zikar in their hearts. Then Jamat gave congratulations to each other for such a nice deedar. Then Mukhi came and said to the Jamat that when Imam arrived Mukhi said to Imam that Jamat is waiting to see you impatiently. Imam said to Mukhi that I am also waiting to see my Jamat impatiently as well. Imam said to Mukhi to tell my Jamat to enjoy this happy occasion by playing Dandia Raas. On behalf of myself I convey heartiest mubaraki to all of you and blessings. Ameen
