On behalf of our Jamati and institutional leadership across Ontario, we wish you and your families a heartfelt Navroz Mubarak. 

As we celebrate Navroz, the festival signaling the arrival of a new year and the onset of spring, we extend our sincere and heartfelt wishes to the Jamat. It is a celebration of renewal and rejuvenation, and an opportunity to look to the future with hope and optimism.

On Navroz, let us rejoice in the diversity of our Jamat influenced by traditions from many parts of the world. There are many cultural variations of this festival, however the underlying themes of interconnectedness with nature and self-contemplation remain the common threads that weave the fabric of our collective heritage.

Let Navroz serve as a beacon of hope, illuminating our journey towards a brighter future with the light of compassion and empathy. Let us extend a hand of friendship to those in need, fostering inclusivity and understanding. Let us work towards building a world where peace and justice prevail, and where every individual is treated with dignity and respect.

As we embrace the spirit of Navroz, let us draw inspiration from the resilience of nature, which blossoms unfailingly with the arrival of spring after a harsh winter. Let this resilience echo in our hearts as we build bridges and forge a path towards a more peaceful and prosperous future for all.

We also wish to extend our heartfelt gratitude to the Jamat and to all our dedicated volunteers whose unwavering commitment and generosity of time and resources continue to inspire us. It is your energy, your generosity, and your compassion that keeps the Jamat healthy, happy, and united.

In our prayers, let us seek better times ahead and offer our shukrana to our beloved Hazar Imam for guiding and empowering us with the strength and courage to overcome challenges. We wish each and every one of you a joyful and fulfilling Navroz. May you, your families, and your loved ones be blessed with immense barakah, good health, prosperity, peace, spiritual understanding, and the alleviation of all your difficulties.

Navroz Mubarak!
