We offer prayers of thanksgiving because we have the holy guidance of Imam-e-Zaman.We wish each other 'IMAMAT DAY MUBARAK'.

1. There is always a Present and Living Imam in this world.
2. We Ismailis are always under the loving care of Present and Living Imam.

3. Mowlana Hazar Imam guides us from time to time by giving us his Farmans.

4. As Mowlana Hazar Imam's spiritual children we must obey and follow his Farmans.
