On the occasion of the 86th birthday of Mawlana Hazar Imam, Dr Daryoush Mohammad Poor, Senior Research Associate at the Institute of Ismaili Studies discusses three themes of the guidance of Mawlana Hazar Imam. These include: balance between din and dunya, balance between faith and intellect and commitment to pluralism. All of these are discussed under the rubric of improving the quality of life which is the motto of the AKDN and Imamat institutions. We also hear extracts from Mawlana Hazar Imam’s speeches in which he explains these points.
Birthdays are generally seen as a time to celebrate and be thankful for those whom we care about. In this spirit, Ismailis celebrate the birthday of the living Imam-of-the-Time as a way of expressing their love, devotion, obedience, and gratitude to him.
Watch this creative new animated short story produced especially for Ismaili children, entitled, How can I tell my Mawla I love him? Join Inara and her family on an adventure as they ask, reflect, and search for ways to express their love and gratitude to Mawlana Hazar Imam on the occasion of Salgirah.
In an exclusive interview for The Ismaili TV, Prince Amyn shares stories from his childhood growing up with Mawlana Hazar Imam, and about their relationship with their grandfather, our beloved 48th Imam, Mawlana Sultan Mahomed Shah. He speaks about AKDN’s activities and some of Hazar Imam’s priorities over the past 65 years.
This is a valuable opportunity to hear about Hazar Imam from someone who has been by his side for most of his life, and to gain a deeper understanding into Hazar Imam’s work across many decades.

Dr. Mir Baiz Khan delves deep into the historical tradition of Navroz, an occasion that the Fatimid Imam-Caliphs recognized as an official public festival of great joy and revelries.
