Join us for a special Salgirah edition of The Ismaili Update with hosts Ayaz Manji and Sahra Ahmady. See how the worldwide community is celebrating Mawlana Hazar Imam’s 87th birthday today, and learn about the gift presented to Hazar Imam on behalf of the global Jamat.

As we prepare to celebrate Mawlana Hazar Imam’s 87th birthday, The Ismaili brings you a recorded reading from the book Ismaili Festivals: Stories of Celebration, in which author Shiraz Kabani describes how the happy occasion of Salgirah is commemorated in various parts of the world.

In the lead up to Salgirah, The Ismaili is pleased to present a sing-along version of the song, How can I tell my Mawla I love him? which was developed as a companion to the story and animated short film of the same title. The song offers children an opportunity to sing, dance, and get excited about showing their love for Mawlana Hazar Imam.
