Imamat Day Mubarak Leadership Message

| Council for Quebec and Maritimes
Region:
Canada
Published Date:
Thursday, July 11, 2019

Today, Ismailis the world over will commemorate with great joy the anniversary of Mawlana Hazar Imam’s July 11, 1957 accession to the throne of Imamat.

In those sixty-two years, the Canadian Jamat has catapulted from a small, largely struggling community to one that has firmly established roots, untold talent and vibrancy, is pluralistic in its makeup, and regularly makes significant and notable contributions to the quality of life of its fellow citizens.

What possible force could propel a community so far, so fast, to be so extraordinarily blessed? Today, we celebrate the answer to that question, and we hope that you will join all of us in joy and in celebration of our Imam’s guiding hand, and of a life dedicated to our spiritual and material well-being.

In demonstrating our gratitude, let us consider a redoubling of our commitment to living the values of the faith, alleviating poverty and supporting our most vulnerable, sharing knowledge and resources for the benefit of Canadian civil society, the global Jamat and broader community, using Canada as a base upon which to promote global peace and pluralism, and perhaps most importantly, resolving to attend to our spiritual growth and fulfilment.

Imamat Day this year will represent a time of transition, as both Jamati and Institutional office holders come to the end of their respective terms. Institutions must remain dynamic, and transition provides the opportunity for re-invigoration and renewal. It allows for new spirits and ideas, balanced by the experience and wisdom of years past. It is a transition characterised by both change and continuity, in a tradition established by over 1400 years of service to the Imam. For the indescribable privilege of service that has been accorded to us, we offer our sincere shukrana.

There are untold many in the Jamat who give of themselves for the benefit of others. To every volunteer, visible or hidden, who contributes to the well-being of our brothers and sisters in the Jamat or broader community, we extend our deepest appreciation and love.

Finally, for all the times we knowingly or inadvertently hurt feelings, made errors or were responsible for oversights and failings, we seek your forgiveness, and we thank you for the incredible patience and understanding that has been the hallmark of the Canadian Jamat.

Thank you, Imamat Day Mubarak, and Khuda Hafez.

Message du Leadership à l’occasion du Jour de l’Imamat Mubarak

| Council for Quebec and Maritimes
Region:
Quebec and Maritimes
Published Date:
Thursday, July 11, 2019

Aujourd'hui, les Ismailis du monde entier commémoreront avec une grande joie l'anniversaire de l'accession de Mawlana Hazar Imam au trône de l'Imamat le 11 juillet 1957.

Au cours de ces soixante-deux années, le Jamat canadien est passé d'une petite communauté battante à celle qui aujourd’hui a des racines bien établies, un talent et un dynamisme indéniables, une composition pluraliste et contribue de manière significative et notable à la qualité de la vie de ses concitoyens.

Quelle est donc cette force qui a pu propulser la communauté à ce niveau, si rapidement et à être si extraordinairement bénie? Aujourd’hui, nous célébrons la réponse à cette question et espérons que vous vous joindrez à nous dans la joie pour célébrer les conseils de notre imam et sa vie consacrée à notre bien-être matériel et spirituel.

Exprimons notre gratitude, en intensifiant notre engagement à vivre les valeurs de la foi, à réduire la pauvreté,  à soutenir les plus vulnérables et à partager nos connaissances et nos ressources au profit de la société civile canadienne, du Jamat global et de la communauté au sens large. Le Canada est notre base pour promouvoir la paix mondiale et le pluralisme, et de façon plus importante, à nous aider à croitre et atteindre notre accomplissement spirituel.

Cette année, le jour de l’Imamat représente une période de transition, puisque les représentants Jamati ainsi que les membres des diverses institutions  achèvent leurs mandats respectifs. Les institutions doivent rester dynamiques et cette transition permet le renouveau puisque de nouvelles idées jaillissent des nouveaux membres nommés, tout en étant équilibrées par l'expérience et la sagesse des membres des années passées. C’est une transition caractérisée à la fois par le changement et la continuité, dans une tradition établie depuis plus de 1400 ans au service de l’Imam. Pour le privilège indescriptible du service qui nous a été accordé, nous offrons nos sincères shukrana.

Plusieurs dans le Jamat se donnent pour le bénéfice des autres. À tous les volontaires, visibles ou dans l’ombre, qui contribuent au bien-être de nos frères et sœurs du Jamat ou de la communauté plus large, nous exprimons notre profonde reconnaissance et amour.

Enfin, si nous avons délibérément ou par inadvertance blessé des sentiments, commis des erreurs ou avons eu des omissions ou manquements, nous sollicitons votre pardon. Nous vous remercions pour votre patience et votre compréhension, caractéristiques distinctives du Jamat canadien.

Merci, Imamat Day Mubarak et Khuda Hafez.
