Wishing you and your families and friends Navroz Mubarak, Nouroztan Mubarak! We must be thankful for the victories in the past year, e.g. the airstrikes in Iraq were averted, thanks for writing to the world leaders. (I have received a letter from President Clinton!) Also, the great visit to Cote d'Ivoire where our Beloved Hazar Imam was the State Guest. Some friends have translated more articles for me, so do watch the What's New page for the latest uploads. Do remember to register for the AKF walk taking place in Houston on April 5, 1998 and pledge your support to helping the developing countries.
Navroz is an age old tradition dating back to the Assyrians bringing gifts to their Achaemenid King. The Fatimid Imams adopted this local tradition and gave it grandeur with their elaborate processions and participation by all, when they expanded the Caliphate from Egypt to include Persia. Since then, this new year tradition of the first day of Spring, has remained with us and spread across the continents.
Next, I would like to share a wonderful poem by Nasir Khusraw with you:
