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.
