“I am fortunate to lead an international community with a strong social conscience. Bridging North and South, East and West, the Ismailis have a long tradition of philanthropy, self-reliance and voluntary service. Wherever they live, they faithfully abide by the Quranic ethic of a common humanity and the dignity of man. They willingly pool knowledge and resources with all those who share our social ethic to help improve the quality of life of less fortunate men, women and children.”
Extract from the remarks made by Mawlana Hazar Imam upon receiving the Die Quadriga 2005 Prize in Recognition of the work of the Aga Khan Development Network Berlin, Germany, October 3, 2005
