The Federation of Khoja Shia Ithna Asheri

5. Cultural Preservation

The preservation of cultural identity is another focal point of the Khoja Shia Ithna Asheri Federation. The federation actively promotes cultural activities, festivals, and events that reflect the community’s rich heritage. These activities serve not only as celebrations but also as platforms for transmitting traditional values and teachings to younger generations.

One of the key aspects of cultural preservation is the emphasis on language. Activities that promote the use of Gujarati and Urdu, alongside Arabic, facilitate a deeper connection with linguistic heritage while enriching the community’s collective identity. The federation recognizes that language is a vessel of culture and religion, and its preservation is essential for maintaining a sense of belonging.
