| Message from Mawlana Hazar Imam |
As I complete the first year of my Imamat, I have been deeply touched by the warm messages of congratulations received from around the world. I convey my heartfelt thanks to the numerous world leaders and partners of the Ismaili Imamat and our institutions who have welcomed me during the past year. Their enduring friendship is a source of happiness and pride. My visits to the Ismaili community around the world have brought me great joy, and I look forward to continuing to meet my community this year. I am immensely grateful to the thousands of volunteers who have made these visits possible, and to the national and local governments who have facilitated them. Read more. |

When I became Imam in 1957, I was faced with developing a system to meet my responsibilities in an organised and sustainable manner that was suited to the circumstances, demands and opportunities of the second half of the twentieth century. In a period of decolonisation in Asia and Africa, the Cold War and its disastrous impact on developing countries, and the painful progress towards a global movement for international development, it became essential that the Imamat’s economic and social development efforts be broadened beyond the Ismaili community, to the societies in which they lived. Mawlana Shah Karim, Tashkent, Uzbekistan, May 2003 |

| Stirrings of the Soul |
This universe is a banner
that keeps fluttering
Your heart sees the banner;
your soul thinks it's the air that makes it move. But the one who knows
how helpless air is
recognizes that everything
is nothing but God. Jalal al-Din Rumi
