Mehboob Kamadia's uncompromised patience, guidance, kindness, respect and most of all generosity was not only noted, it was very much appreciated. In addition to this, I was at peace knowing they were embarking on this journey with Mehboob and his family.

From an intellectual perspective, Mehboob Kamadia's sharing of knowledge with my parents allows them to approach, understand and process the doctrines of Islam beyond a knowledge forum that is "conventional".

To Mehboob Kamadia: I am to understand that Mehboob's family was also very kind and generous in connection to their respect, kindness and hospitality. Please convey my gratitude and appreciation to them. We hope (Insha'Allah) to see Mehboob and his family in the near future such that we can finally meet and attempt to reciprocate the uncompromised hospitality and courtesies that Mehboob always extends to us.

Once again, our gratitude and our most sincere prayers - for 'every happiness' to Mehbob Kamadia and his family." - Ali, Edmonton

We felt as if a divine power was presenting this divinely planned trip of Mehboob's to us on a Silver Platter!"

"Mehboob's expertise in the knowledge of our Ismaili History in these lands combined with his selection of top notch guides in each of these countries has educated us far more in this last month than any secular classes ever did. Not only has he awakened the scholar in us to want to know more about our past history, he has also brought to life our Imams, Pirs and Dais, and made us realise the major roles they have played and the many sacrifices they have made in where we Ismailis are today. His choice of 5* deluxe hotels strategically located very near our itinerary's visiting sites for our comfort and convenience was the icing on the cake!"

"As if all this was not enough, Mehboob went out of his way most evenings to spare a couple of hours of his own precious free time to enlighten us more about the places we visited from an Ismaili point of view. Very often he also did this whilst standing for hours in the coach as we drove from one place to another. His immense wealth of knowledge just made us thirst for more and more, and he always happily obliged, never disappointing us."

"Mehboob also brought his family along, and we travelled as one big family as we got to know one another. He went beyond the call of duty as he catered to our various needs, wishes, expectations and idiosyncrasies that ranged from needing to text our families, to sometimes shopping for ever, to taking our pictures for us with our cameras, and to even, as in our case, looking for mini dv cassettes----- for that, and for tolerating us all, thanks a million to Mehboob."

"It has been a richly rewarding trip for us, and we look forward to inshallah going with Mehboob on many more future trips. May Mowla bless Mehboob and his family for all the hard work that they have put in to make this trip so memorable for us. Ameen." -  Dr Mohamed & Nazeera, Edmonton
