Today, we honor the lives of Prince Aly Khan (father of Mawlana Hazar Imam, Prince Amyn and Princess Yasmin) and Prince Sadruddin for their many contributions to the jamat and for world peace. For it is on this day that we lost both of them but each of their legacies and life’s works continue to inspire many.
“… and your father Prince Ali Khan, Pakistani Ambassador to the United Nations … beloved by all, whom fate did not permit to deploy his extraordinary culture and spirit of civilisation to their full extent.”

“I am also thinking of the much-missed Prince Sadruddin, your uncle, who was United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees at a key period in the history of this institution with its vitally important mission.”
