Anil Ishani
Anil Ishani Inna Lillahi wa Inna Illayhi Rajun Surely we belong to Allah and to Him we shall return.
It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Anil Ishani aged 87 years in Nairobi, Kenya on 28th September 2025. He was a kind, humble, and generous gentleman who dedicated his life to voluntary service and touched the hearts of many.
Anil was a long-standing Advocate of the High Court of Kenya since 1960 and the Resident Representative of the Aga Khan Development Network in Kenya from 1998 to 2007.
He was a devoted father to his daughters Shaheen and Karina, father-in-law to Rizwan, loving son of late Gulamhussein Kassam and Rabia Ishani from Mombasa and doting grandfather to Iman, Zahra, Ziyana, Khalil and Zaki.
The funeral will be held in London, United Kingdom.
May his soul rest in eternal peace.
It is a great loss with the passing of Anil to the Ishani Family, the Ismaili Community at large and to his friends. His contribution to the Ismaili community over the decades was large and important.
My wife Anar & I were blessed to have made Anil and his late wife Amina’s acquaintances in early 1990’s in the UK.
During my T & K work at the Aga Khan University Hospital in Nairobi in 2012, in Oncology Department, we had the pleasure of spending some time with Amina and Anil, together with our mutual friend Dr. Yusuf Kodawalla and his wife.
We pray for his soul to rest in peace and pray for his family to get strength during this sad and difficult time. .He will be missed
