The Time and Knowledge Nazrana (TKN) website, when ready, will provide further information on ways in which the offering of time and knowledge by Jamati members can be actualized.

In celebrating Imamat Jubilees, one of the Jamat’s most cherished traditions is the offering and submission of ‘Nazrana’. In the Shia Isma'ili Muslim tradition, Nazrana is a voluntary and unconditional gift offered by followers to the Imam on special occasions as a humble token of spiritual allegiance, as well as an expression of gratitude, love, and devotion. This Nazrana can take various forms. It includes the gift of material resources as well as the precious resource of time and knowledge. During his Golden Jubilee celebrations, Mawlana Hazar Imam graciously accepted the Jamat’s offering of a Nazrana and reinforced the notion that for centuries in Muslim traditions, the offering of time and knowledge has also been understood as a form of Nazrana. It is hoped that the Jamat can make available their skills and professional competencies in service to Jamati and Imamat institutions.‬

Knowledge is perceived as a divine gift and it should not be deliberately withheld from the service of society. It should be acquired to understand Allah’s creation and to serve others. Thus the privilege of acquiring knowledge carries with it the ethical obligation of sharing one’s time, knowledge, skills, and expertise as well as material resources. This ethic underpins the Shia Isma'ili Muslim tradition of voluntary service.
