Hazar Imam announced the institution of an international prize for Muslim architecture on the lines of the Nobel Prize, to be adjudicated and awarded in Pakistan. Mowlana Hazar Imam addressed National Council of Culture and Arts at Karachi. In an impassioned speech, Hazar Imam said: 'I fear the day when Islam will be our Faith, yet its outward manifestation in the buildings we work and live in, the works of art we behold and the music we listen to, will be dominated by foreign cultures .' Two years later, Hazar Imam established a Foundation called Aga Khan Awards.

Maulana Kauser Niazi, Your Excellencies, Ladies and Gentlemen,

It was good of you to invite Me to this occasion not least because, although I enjoy and appreciate most of the art forms, I claim no special expertise in any of them.
