After 16 years, I get to welcome my Imam to my hometown (Calgary, Alberta, Canada) again.
His Highness Prince Karim Aga Khan is the 49th hereditary Imam of the Shia Imami Ismaili Muslims and a direct descendant of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him and his family) through his cousin and son-in-law, Ali, the first Imam, and his wife Fatima, the Prophet’s daughter.
I look forward to his visit to Calgary to:
- accept the grace and blessings of the presence of a member of the Prophet’s family
- express my personal gratitude to him for dedicating his life in improving the quality of life of my family, the Ismaili community and all humanity
- listen to his guidance on how I can live a spritual-worldly balanced life and be a model Canadian and global citizen
It was heartening to receive many warm wishes from my interfaith colleagues when I shared with them the article in the Calgary Herald announcing his visit (see below).
Dear dewji, Please accept our heartiest congrtulations for having MHI with you in your city.I truely admire your humble love and devotion towards our Imam. We all must practice the path and guidance which our beloved Imam always shower upon us.
I would love to meet you Inshallah, whenever i reach canada with my family once i get through my immigration process. We all are looking forward for MHI’s visit to karachi, pakistan.
