Editor's Choice -- Simerg -- 5 Photo essays: Ismaili life in Tajikistan and Central Asia

In the past, explorers travelling by land and sea spent years, if not decades, on their journeys of discovery and adventure only to visit a few far off lands. Some never returned home to tell their tales.

Today, Muslim Harji, a prolific global traveller, carries on that tradition of exploration and discovery, but with all the comforts and speed of the 21st Century! He also never fails to return home and then, through his magnificent photography, makes those of us unable to live the life of an explorer, feel like we've been there.

In 2015, following his travels down the Silk Road, visiting Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and Turkey, Simerg Photos published a must-see multi-part series primarly focused on Tajikistan. This outstanding series helps us understand the culture and lives of Ismailis in Tajikistan: their food, houses, music, celebrations, places of worship and of course the spectacular, mountain scenery.

We hope you enjoy Muslim Harji's pictures and tales as much as we did.

Warm regards

Think of Ismaili Digest as the Front Page of all the best Ismaili websites!

Ismaili Digest automatically and continuously brings together all new articles, photos, videos, etc. from Ismaili websites -- like The Ismaili, Simerg, IIS, NanoWisdoms, AKDN, Ismailimail, etc. -- so you can see them all at once. Direct links to over 15,000 web-pages from the best Ismaili websites already available. Ismaili Digest saves you (and those who are not tech savvy, such as seniors) the effort of having to visit them one by one to keep up to date, or have your inbox cluttered with emails from each of them when they publish new content.

In a busy world, our sense of belonging to our community sometimes tends to wither and fade (particularly for isolated Jamati members). We hope Ismaili Digest's simplicity and comprehensiveness will help you feel connected as well as feel the local and global pulse of the community.

Like many other non-commercial, public-service thematic website aggregators, Ismaili Digest is just a thematic aggregator. We publish short 50-60 word digests of all their content and provide direct links to their original pages saving you time, extra page loads and clicks. For the website publishers, direct links ensure they'll get the maximum number of potential visitors reaching their content so their hard work gets the maximum exposure.

Also featured are other important articles, research and opinions relevant to the community's well being, intellectual growth, best practises and administration. And all served with a drop of humour as well, because "we are a community that welcomes the smile!"

Ismaili Digest is not associated with any private Ismaili website, whether aggregated by Ismaili Digest or not. All websites Ismaili Digest aggregates are independent websites run by their individual owners and we are not responsible for content they publish.
