| Mawlana Hazar Imam congratulates Olympian Devin Wardrope |
Luge athlete Devin Wardrope yesterday overcame weeks of adversity to successfully compete in the Winter Olympic Games. Aged 23, he is part of the youngest Canadian luge team in recent memory. Mawlana Hazar Imam commended the achievement in a message being shared via The Ismaili: “I send my warm congratulations to Devin Wardrope for representing Canada in the 2026 Winter Olympics this week in Milan Cortina. His passion for luge and dedication to training for over a decade is commendable and shows that when a young person works hard anything is possible. Devin’s achievements are a source of pride for our Jamat, and an inspiration to us all. Bravo to Devin and his luge partner Cole Zajanski for their excellent performance.” Read more. |

| Stirrings of the Soul |
Fast from thoughts, fast:
thoughts are like the lion and the wild donkey,
men's hearts are the thickets they haunt.
Fasting is the first principle of health;
restraint is superior to medication;
scratching only aggravates the itch.
Fast, and behold the strength of the spirit. Jalal al-Din Rumi
