Click wp.me/p7IezD-hht. Faqir Ullah Khan, Barakah's special correspondent in Passu, Hunza, updates our readers on the historic visit of the #AgaKhan to Pakistan, his first as the 50th Ismaili Imam.
Click wp.me/p2IQuO-8Yx for my amazing trip to #WatertonLakes National Park, where I drove, walked and hiked. In the same piece, Murad Nensey provides an insight into the benefits of moving, and I have a selection of excerpts from the Ismaili Imams on playing sports and making our bodies move.
Click wp.me/p7IezD-hgj. SUMMARY: In recent months, #Ismailis in many parts of the world have met their 50th Imam, His Highness Prince #RahimAgaKhan, lovingly addressed by his followers as Mawlana Hazar Imam, for the first time in intimate religious gatherings known as Didar (lit. a glimpse). UK's Shiraz Pradhan has written a thoughtful and timely reflection on how to preserve the freshness of these encounters as he continues to visit many other countries in the coming weeks and months.

@TheRealPFF Losing 1-0 wasn't bad. Results in the immediate future don't matter. Keep on working hard on the skills you have acquired and you will do well.
@TheRealPFF Hope to see Pakistani referees in major tournaments one day. Congratulations.
@TheRealPFF Great to see the lovely and happy spirit of the Pakistani women's soccer team. Continue working hard, and you will see great success in the future. Will follow you!
@stormradioguy I am truly sorry to hear about your son's passing at the age of 45. May he rest in peace. Yes, outliving children is a hard thing to accept and overcome for any parent. I wish you strength and courage at this difficult time of bereavement.
