I beg your pardon, dear readers, for the long absence. We moved and even before settling down, I was involved in a car accident on my way home from work.

Mowlana Hazar Imam's First Visit to Tajikistan in 1995 - My web site was still in its infancy at that time and I cannot get over the spiritually charged emotions of that visit, both amongst the Ismailis that witnessed this event as well as the media reports that I read at the time. I decided to present this segment for your enjoyment - to re-live the sensations that the Tajiki and Afghani Ismaili Jamat must have felt at meeting the Imam in person after 600 years of pure devotion to his line of Imamat from the teachings of one Nasir Khusraw... You be the judge.

Attention dear visitors! Some of the links on my web site have been disabled due to an account name change that a friend of mine had to make, whose space had been donated for my use, and yours truly has not had the time to re-code all of the hardlinks on all the various directories the Ismaili Web now resides on. So, if you receive a message: "File not found" and it has ~greatone in the url, please substitute it with ~crusader . My friend did not feel comfortable anymore in using the name greatone and changed it to crusader! Inshallah, in the days ahead, I'd like to be able to carry the whole site in one location, and I ask for your prayers to make this possible. Muskil-Asaan har ruz-u, har shab!

Ismaili Heroes Web This section will be updated in the next few days to include more pages. I had a choice whether to load this section up right now, or wait until I have worked on all the articles, that means reading them, making them ready for the web, cross-linking them, etc. and I decided to upload this section right now! Our past heroes, as you will read from this section, were very active in multiple fields and the Fatimid period of our history produced some of the world's best personalities under the guidance of the Imam-Caliphs. Currently, we should take this challenge and produce our best under the guidance of Mowlana Hazar Imam! After all, the coming of "the Mahdi" (Guide) from the West has been predicted... And the millenium is upon us! Alhamdulillah! As Allah says, the righteous shall inherit the earth!
