| Mawlana Hazar Imam Graces Kenya Jurisdiction Jamat with Didar |
Nairobi Darkhana was the historic setting for a unique occasion on 27 August 2025: Our beloved 50th Imam granted a didar to the Jamat of Kenya, Botswana, Burundi, Eswatini, Namibia, Rwanda, and South Africa. Mawlana Hazar Imam conveyed guidance and blessings for the worldwide Ismaili community, and thanked volunteers for their efforts to organise the visit. He showered blessings on the Jamat and reminded us of his immense love and affection. Hazar Imam also granted a separate mulaqat to young members of the Jamat. Read more |

"My early childhood was in Kenya in the 1940’s. From the time I became the 49th hereditary Imam of the Shia Imami Ismaili Muslims in 1957, an integral part of my daily life and work has encompassed seeking to improve living conditions and opportunities in African countries." Mawlana Shah Karim, Kigale, Rwanda, December 2019 |
