Bismillah al-Rahman al-Rahim

Your Excellencies,
Your Worship,
Distinguished Scholars,
Ladies and Gentlemen,

I thank you most warmly for setting aside the time from your busy schedules to help guide my way to becoming ismaili.

My first realization about the muslim religion was years ago when I was studying the muslim religion my senior year in college, it was always something that touched my heart. Is I studied more and more on the different types of muslims, I came acroos the ismaili religion. I was inspired by its beliefs and how Ismaili followed the descendants of Imam Ismail and still follow up to the present day, the present Imam of Ismaili beeing Prince Kareem Agha Khan who is the forty -ninth descendant from the fourth caliph, Ali) and how Ismaili men and women pray in a joint session, how Allah is the light of the heavens and the earth; His light is as a nice in which is a lamp, and the lamp is in a glass, the glass is as though it were a glittering star; it is lite from a blessed tree, an Olive neither of east nor of the west, the oil of which would well-night give light though no fire touched it,-light upon light;-Allah guides to his light whom he pleases; and Allah strikes out parables for men; and Allah all things both know.Allah Alone Knows best and he is my Only source of Strength for me wherever i turn there is the face of Allah.

About 6 months ago I fell verry ill and was in the hospital for 8 days where I had an muslim docter he sat by my side and prayed with me every day. One morning I had a dream in which I saw my self sitting near the feet of Allah and he was smiling back at me, I cryed for 2 days and knew that this was right path for me, (All Praise is due to Allah Alone, who has had Mercy on me and guided me to the deen of Truth. I have full conviction and a strong belief that Ismaili is the true religion of God, I have had my eys open with the ismaili faith I believed that his higness prince karim Aga khan is true imam from hazrat muhammad (peace be upon him) family.There is no God but Allah, Muhammad is the messenger of Allah, and Ali, the commander of the faithful, is from Allah.2 weeks after I got out of the hospitel my family contacted me and asked me to move from NY to AZ. I put my faith in allah and packed up everything and moved to AZ 3 days after I moved I was fortunate enough to meet an Ismaili friend that helped me on my journey to becoming Ismaili by the grace of Allah. I first began to learn the du`aa, wudu, educating myself about the Ismaili beliefs,and I was also directed to the Qur'aan after reading it for several days, it brought me even closer with Allah and made me relize that my desishon to convert to Ismaili was the right path for me, the path that allah has choosen for me. Allah is the protector of those who have faith: from the depths of darkness, he will lead them forth into light. It is my sincere hope that you will consider to help guide me on my path to serve Allah’s creation. May Allah help me, guide me, and allow me the opportunity to work in his Cause.

Thank You
