Orchestra in Dubai expresses the harmony of the international Jamat through a unique musical compilation
In celebration of Mawlana Hazar Imam’s Golden Jubilee, a Jamati orchestra in Dubai together with the Ismaili Council for the United Arab Emitrates has produced a unique musical synthesis titled Frontierless Brotherhood — A Fusion of Diversity. The two-disc set reflects the cultures and heritage of Ismailis from around the world.
The effort was inspired by Mawlana Hazar Imam’s remarks at the foundation laying ceremony of the Ismaili Centre Dubai on 13 December 2003: “It is my humble prayer that, when built, the Ismaili Centre in Dubai will be a place for contemplation and search for enlightenment, where people come together to share knowledge and wisdom. It will be a place of peace, of order, of hope and of brotherhood, radiating those thoughts, attitudes and sentiments which unite, and which do not divide, and which uplift the mind and the spirit.” This struck a chord and gave way to a musical compilation that transcends boundaries.

EXPRESSIONS
O Ismaili brothers and sisters
Come together and express your feelings
Show your love for Shah Karim
Show Him your gratitude for
The dedication He has shown to us
Express your love as art
Or express it in poetry
Show it in calligraphy
Or sing it in a geet
O Ismailis now is the time
Fifty years have passed
Since He claimed the
Throne of Imamat
Millions of people
He has uplifted
O Ismaili brothers and sisters
Now is the time to be bold
Show Him how much you love Him
Express your feelings
From the bottom of your hearts
