Reflecting on Roz-e-Nur
May 24, 2024 | Canada
In May 1995, as the Jamat in Tajikistan prepared to welcome Mawlana Hazar Imam to their homeland for the very first time, a baby boy was born in the city of Khorog. In honour of the Imam’s historic visit, his family named him “Didor.”
Didor (or Didar), a Persian word, means vision or “to see.” In 1995, for the first time after many generations, the Tajik Jamat were blessed with the opportunity to see the Imam-of-the-Time in person, and looked forward to the mulaqat with great anticipation. Many travelled long distances by foot to be present on the day.
“I was a newborn baby, so I cannot remember anything from that time,” says Didor Marodaseynov, now aged 29. “But from the stories my family told me, my grandmother sacrificed her strong wish to attend the mulaqat in order to look after me, since I was only a few days old.”
