“My beloved spiritual children” - Salamiyya, Syria, 10 November 2001

This penultimate episode of Gems of Wisdom will feature a different kind of address from the public speeches heard in previous episodes. As a faith leader, the Aga Khan provided Ismaili communities around the world with spiritual and worldly guidance for almost seven decades. While these religious gatherings were usually private for Ismailis only, occasionally he spoke to large outdoor public gatherings, including this address, known as an Irshad, made on 10 November 2001 in Salamiyya, Syria.
