Ismaili.NET - Heritage F.I.E.L.D.

I truly appreciate having a library of Ginans. My only concern is that when I have looked for proper pronounciations of certain ginans the many tracks are accompanied with music and contain personal changes. I realize many ginans are recited differently in the world wide jamats, however I feel it is important for a library to have references that pertain to recitations that what you would find at Jamatkhannas and not at concert halls. This is important for those of us trying to perserve our wonderful tradition and learn ginans that would otherwise be lost to the future jamats.

Dear Reader,

I contemplated alot if i should post this comment or not, but after contemplating for days, i finally decided this would be the appropriate medium to relate information through.

During my research in Tanzania on Gender Based Violence, I came across a Ismaili girl, 25 years old, Living in Dares Salaam. She is born to an Ismaili father who has fathered 3 children, 2 boys and 1 girl, with and Arab woman. The children go to jamat-khana every Friday. The 2 boys attend public schools (non Aga khan) and live in inappropriate conditions in a slum known as kariakoo. The girl works for a construction company, owned by a native Tanzania (non-ismaili/non-Asian) earning 200,000 tshs/month. The girl is the only bread earner in the house, her father is living in the Lake region of Tanzania not supporting the family. Note, the mother is ill and unable to work.

The house is dependent on one girl earning 200,000 Tshs/Month. The family had approached the ismaili council, 9 years ago, for assistance in schooling and some sort of financial assistance, they were denied for unknown reason, and were told to come back later, they did go back, but to no avail.

The amount the girl brings home is not sustaining the family, so now days she has been resorting to prostitution, charing around 100,000 tshs/2 hours. She is forced to do this because twice a month, because she was not able to go for further education, after completing Form 4 (public school), and she was denied assistance by the Ismaili council.

I did assist her with some money, but i don't think this family's' needs will be solved by money alone, i think the family needs some serious help, and the girl needs some sort of psycho-social assistance, and further education.

If you are interested in assisting this family, please leave a comment on this post and i will contact you and provide you with the contacts of this family.

long live Imam

We must bear in mind that if the Imams tolerate our misconduct they do so with an uneasy mind. It is a great hardship on them to stand it and a great burden on their minds. The miscreants shall have to pay heavily for their misconduct in this world and the world to come. Hence, he who puts the Imams in this awkward position exposes himself not only to their wrath but also to the wrath of God.

Ya Ali Madad to my follow Ismailis

I visited India during the month of September 2009. I was suprised to learn that there is no Jamatkhana in Delhi. The only Jamatkhana we have in Delhi is in the basement of Kapoor Building. I also learnt that there are very few Ismailis living in Delhi.

Goa Jamatkhane is beautiful and well maintained. Most of our Ismailis attend Jamatkhana daily in Goa.

I also visited Andheri Jamatkhana in Mumbai. Although it was built in 1927, it has been maintained well but need painting done inside the Jamatkhana. Wish we can find funds to have JK painted. The Jamat is excellent and go to Jamatkhana everyday, specially young ones.

The Darkhana Jamatkhana in Mumbai need to be refurbished. It's a beautiful Jamatkhana but not been maintained. Maybe someone can bring it to the attention of Hazar Imam. In speaking to one of our jamati member, I was advised that the Council keep saying that they will refurbish JK but nothing has been done. Mumbai Darkhana JK reminds me of Nairobi Center Jamatkhana.

I was very pleased to learn that most of our Jamat in Mumbai are doing well and lots of funding is provided by the Agakhan Foundation for Ismailis to start a business.

I am looking forward to visit India again in September 2010. If anyone has Jamatkhana addresses and contact person in Dubai, SIngapore, Malaysia, Mumbai, Puna, Benglore and Kerala, I would appreciate if they can email me at my email address of nashir.lalji@roger.com. Last time when I was in Mumbai, I was able to visit only Andheri JK which was near the Hotel I stayed at Juhu Beach. During the day time I visited Darkhana JK. I would like to visit other JKs especially the one that is near Prince Aly Khan Hospital and there are Ismailis Flats.

Thank you and Ya Ali Madad

Every body of us are well aware of Hunza Land sliding and its impect on the region of Gilgit and Hunza. more than 70,000 Ismaili jamat are effected by this land sliding partialy or fully. no body certain about this lake ,that what will be happen, mostly jamat and other communities are living in Tents with their families, i think this is our duty to go their and help them because they are our Brothers and Sisters, we can help them for Food , shelter, clothing, Education even in their rehabilitation. The weather is going wrong ,some time in a day weather goes warm and within hours it gets rain.childerns, senior citzens, and women are really in trouble in Tents, that tents can't fulfil their requirement of living.
Here are some pictures about Hunza Atta abad lake and its effected areas. these pictures tell us what is situation of the effected people, and how they are surviving their lives,childern and entire family with this harsh time.
every body can consider for their rehabilitation, even for the been time they have facing problem of food and shelter. uncertain situation is here still.there are Dozens NGO'S and Other Govt welfare institutions, choose your credible and reliable welfare institution and donate any kind of add. here is a Local NGO:

Imam-e-zamaan is a spiritual leader who is always there to guide the jamat about the life and all the obstacles related to it, we ismailies are blessed by the presence of Imam who is the right descendant of the Holy Prophet Mohammad (P.B.U.H), Imam-e-zamaan Noor Mawlana Shah Karim Al Hussaini Hazir Imam is always there to guide us about every single thing that's associated to the betterment of our material and spiritual life, recently we all celebrated the golden jubilee 50 yeras of Imamat all around the world. We are a blessed jamat with uncountable blessings and happiness. Imam-e-zamaan and his guidance is always leading us to the right path which is Siraat-e-Mustaqeem. We being loyal followers should follow what our Imam tells us, and we must get strengthen to the right path.
Taking this opportunity I would like to mention some key points which Imam-e-zaman did mention in his speech at the closing ceremony of Golden Jubilee of his Imamat, where he showed his keen interest in up lifting the jamat in different vertices in coming years ahead, Imam did mention that He will be working for the jamat who are living under natural hazardous areas, and Imam did gave the example of Hunza….Right after two years of this farmaan we all have seen how the mountains collapsed with each other and a big massive part of mountain did slide and block the Hunza river, this incident occur on 4th January 2010……footages can been seen at. (http://www.hunzapakistan.com/ ).
Dear Ismaili brothers and sisters all around the world. I request you again like I have always been requesting the visitors of this web site to pray, pray and pray for the people who are our brothers and sister in dire straits, they have become home less and yet they are looking at us with an eye of hope generosity and ambiance, it is requested that pray once more for SAFETY OF OUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS AND PRAY ONCE MORE THAT MAY MAWLA COME TO PAKISTAN AND BLESS THE JAMAT WITH HIS ZAHIRI NOORANI DEEDAR………………
We will always wait for golden jublee darbar till our last breath and we will not stop reciting the golden verse “Huun Raay Peyasi Peeya Teray Darashan Ki………….”
