Mowlana Hazar Imam’s Speech at the Seerat Conference Pakistan 1976

Ismaili Centre London September 1979 – This building and the prominence of the place it has been given indicate the seriousness and the respect the West is beginning to accord Muslim civilization of which the Ismaili Community, though relatively small, is fully representative.

Asia Society New York, September 1979 – As we work towards that vision of the future we will remember the Surah of Light from the Quran. It tells us that the oil of the blessed olive tree lights the lamp of understanding, a light that belongs neither to the East nor West. We are to give this light to all. In that spirit, all that we learn will belong to the world and that too is part of the vision I share with you.

Fez, Morocco, October 1979 – We are living through a time of passive disabling and must now seek to reverse that trend.

New York, April 1980 – In Islam, where the faith demands disciplined integration and unity of all aspects of daily life, the potential and responsibility of the architect is especially significant.

Amman, Jordan, May 1980 Opening remarks – Whatever efforts the Award may make to provide a new direction and sense of purpose to the future environment of the Islamic world, it cannot achieve substantial or long-term results unless the governments and people identify and implement the changes they desire.

Amman, Jordan, May 1980 Closing remarks – The Islamic countries have their own schools of architecture, complete with men of talent and creativity. It is much more important that the Aga Khan Award encourage the strengthening of these schools and the support of their graduates, particularly the younger architects who in a sense control the destiny of the Islamic architectural world of the future. This is an issue of primary concern to me, and one which has been raised many times.
