During my Golden Jubilee — and this is important — six years ago Ismailis from around the world volunteered their gifts, not only of wealth, but most notably of time and knowledge, in support of our work. We established a Time and Knowledge framework, a structured process for engaging an immense pool of expertise involving tens of thousands of volunteers”.

The Time and Knowledge Nazrana (TKN) endeavour represents a combination of two cherished Ismaili traditions:
- offering one’s intellectual capacity to assist the Imamat’s efforts for the progress of the Jamat, and
- submitting to the Imam of the time an unconditional Nazrana (gift) in commemorating epochal events, as a gesture of love and homage.
