Royal visit brings Ismaili students together

Carleton students gathered to welcome Prince Karim Aga Khan IV to Ottawa this December

Highness, though we met for the first time only three years ago, I feel like I have known you a long time,” Prime Minister Stephen Harper told Prince Karim Aga Khan IV at the inauguration ceremonies of the Delegation of the Ismaili Imamat on Dec. 6.

“My long-time university roommate, Alnoor Lakhani, is an Ismaili, and he kept a picture of you in our room,” added Harper, as the falling snowflakes became visible through the translucent walls of the elegant $54 million landmark.

Alnoor Lakhani isn’t the only one who keeps a reminder of His Highness the Aga Khan, spiritual leader of over 13.5 million Shia Ismaili Muslims around the world.

Among the 70,000 Ismaili Muslims in Canada, approximately 1,250 live in the Ottawa region, and roughly 35 attend Carleton University,  according to Ottawa Ismaili Students Association President Shelina Jamal.

Hafiz Moledina, a public administration master’s student, says he also keeps a picture of the Aga Khan in his dorm room.

“Canada and the Aga Khan have had a very fruitful relationship since the early 1970s, and I feel this shows the level of admiration and confidence His Highness has for our country,” he says.

From sea to sea, the Aga Khan’s jubilee

Compared to several other major cities in Canada, Ottawa’s population of Ismaili Muslims is scarce at best, but they’re certainly not complaining.

Prince Karim Aga Khan IV started his visit to Canada to celebrate his Golden Jubilee – 50th year as Imam (spiritual leader) of all the Ismaili Muslims worldwide – in Ottawa, and ended it right back in the nation’s capital with the opening ceremonies of the Delegation of the Ismaili Imamat.
