“The Islamic ethic is that if God has given you the capacity or good fortune to be a privileged individual in society, you have a moral responsibility to society.” – Aga Khan, head, Islamic Ismailis worldwide
Canada has welcomed a community of between 45,000 to 70,000 Ismaili Muslims as proud Canadian citizens. And this community has integrated itself well into Canadian society at all levels, including politics and civil engagement. There is the well-known and hugely popular, smiling Calgary Mayor Naheed Nenshi, and there is Senator Mobina Jaffer, and aide to Prime Minister Stephen Harper, Alykhan Velshi.
