Ismailimail 
Such a wonderful heritage. I am sure, children of 40th century if they were to exist would recall the great work under Imam for securing the world out in the post-carbon age with renewable energy security. I am blessed to have the recognition of Imam from Qur’aan. I have proposed a discipline called Ecostrategics for combining the learning from sustainability analysis in order to shape behaviour, consumption patterns. Shia Ismaili Imamis are most regular in giving to Imam obeying while establishing salaat in the luminous hours. Most ecologically intelligent community in the comity of nations with people across the faiths.

I am just Speechless to learn for the first time about your such a great Hard work, in collecting our intellectual heritage! That, definitely a matter of taking pride in our young generation who feels humiliation on their introduction of Ismaili History is not known to them due to, residing in such parts of the World of closed political & social environment!
I feel honored to extend my humble assistance if needed. Congratulations to your whole team!
