Mawlana Hazir Imam completed the London Marathon on Sunday, 26 April 2026, achieving a personal best time.
Hazir Imam was pleased to see members of the Jamat taking part and conveyed his warm congratulations to them, along with appreciation for the support he received from Jamati members along the route.
In his Farmans, Hazir Imam has encouraged the Jamat to remain active and engage in physical activity. He emphasized making time daily to move, regardless of age or a busy schedule.
Despite his many responsibilities, Hazir Imam continues regular exercise, including distance running. He previously completed the Berlin Marathon in 2024 and the Chicago Marathon in 2025.
The marathon is regarded as the ultimate endurance challenge, testing physical strength, mental resilience, and disciplined preparation. It requires consistent training, proper nutrition, and recovery, yet remains accessible to people of all levels.
This year’s event featured historic moments. Sebastian Sawe of Kenya won the men’s race with a record time of 1:59:30, becoming the first to break the two-hour mark. Tigst Assefa of Ethiopia won the women’s race in a record 2:15:41. The oldest participants included 88-year-old Harry Newton from the UK and 86-year-old Maria Rivera from the USA.
Held every April, the London Marathon—one of the World Marathon Majors—follows a scenic route from Greenwich Park through key London landmarks, finishing on The Mall.
Since its launch in 1981, the event has grown significantly, supported by thousands of volunteers. Last year, it raised a record £87.3 million for charities, making it the world’s largest one-day fundraising event.

Prince Aly Muhammad participated in the foundation ceremony for the new Aga Hall Jamatkhana yesterday, marking a historic milestone in the evolving story of the Aga Hall Estate.
Established by Mawlana Hasan Ali Shah in the 1840s, Aga Hall was also a home to Mawlana Ali Shah and Mawlana Sultan Mahomed Shah, and thus an important centre of the Ismaili Imamat in the 19th and early 20th centuries.
Since then, it has witnessed Mumbai’s expansion into a thriving international hub, while symbolising the city’s historic roots. In 2018 Mawlana Shah Karim approved plans to redevelop the site to enhance the quality of life of residents and their neighbours.
In his address to guests, Prince Aly Muhammad explained the project’s significance, and his aspirations for its continued progress and contribution to the city.
The new Jamatkhana, he said, will serve “not only as a place of prayer, but also as a place of learning and encounter.”
“In a city like Mumbai, with all the pace and intensity that comes with urban life, spaces of calm matter all the more. I hope this will be a place that is beautiful, welcoming, and open in spirit — strengthening the bonds within our community and with the society around it.”
The structure will be significantly larger than the previously existing Jamatkhana, to cater for an expanded community living at Aga Hall and the surrounding area. Its architecture will feature a combination of solid balusters and translucent jaali screens repeated around the exterior.
“For the community here, the Jamatkhana is the special heart of the Estate,” said Naguib Kheraj, Chair of the Aga Hall Estate Steering Committee. “It is the element which binds the community together,” he added. “A place which helps us remember what gives meaning to life.”
A series of gardens will frame the building and will feature a stepped chahar-bagh, or quadrilateral garden; a maidan, or courtyard square; and a bustan, or orchard. Heritage elements like the 140-year-old Estate gate and fountain are being preserved and reinstalled in the new design.
