| Mawlana Hazar Imam announces official visit to Pakistan |
At the invitation of the Government of Pakistan, Mawlana Hazar Imam will undertake an official visit to Pakistan from 20 to 26 May 2026, during which he will meet with the Jamat residing in Gilgit-Baltistan and Chitral, and with government officials in Islamabad. In a Talika Mubarak read in Jamatkhanas worldwide, Hazar Imam said he plans to visit the country again in the near future to meet with his Jamat residing in Southern and Central Pakistan. To be able to focus his attention on the Jamat in the Northern Areas of Pakistan, Hazar Imam does not wish members of the Jamat from other parts of Pakistan, or from other countries, to travel to these regions during his visit. |

In October of last year I was lucky enough to go to [the] northern areas of Pakistan, a stunning area of the world, truly beautiful, with an incredible culture. And what I saw there were excited and inspired students going to quality schools set up by Aga Khan Education Services. I saw new and cutting-edge health centres led by Aga Khan Health Services, and I saw what can only be described as a bright and vibrant future full of hope and determination. Prince Aly Muhammad, Toronto, Canada, June 2018 |

Last night from the mountain I heard a voice—
not of this world, yet calling my name.
I went, and in that wilderness
found a tavern full of light. Hafiz
