Ismaili.NET - Heritage F.I.E.L.D.

I am glad to present this important monograph fortunately completed on the day of my birth. It affords brief history of the flag/banner with special reference to the flag of the Shia Ismaili Muslims, its origin in Islam and symbolic interpretation of its colours, incorporated with rare accessible photographs. Hitherto, no materials on the subject have been explored scholarly. In the following pages, a serious attempt has been made to gather within a convenient compass the information scattered.

I owe a debt of gratitude to my colleague, Mr. Zulfikar R. Meghani, Karachi for designing this monograph. It is beyond the province of my power to enumerate in words the invaluable assistance and kind cooperation of Mr. Nagib Tajdin, Montreal. His noble interest and encouragement in my study shall be remembered for ever.
