Love you His Highness, you are true leader in muslim world, who play a role of bridge between muslim and non muslims faith through his AKDN. You are practical muslim through his work to show the non muslims the bright image of Islam through phalonthropy, education, healthcare works and peace building
He says that he is the direct descendant of the Muslim Prophet Muhammad PBUH. The hereditary office he holds, is the office of Immamat - once held by the successor of Muhammad who was Ali. In Shia Islam, the concept of Imamat was continued through the descendants of the prophet, and still in continuation right from the time of the Prophet's death. Today Shah Kaarim Al-Hussainy (whose secular title is The Aga Khan) is the 49th hereditary Imam of Ismaili Muslims. So, religiously, he is the Imam of the time - means leader of the people who refer to him as Imam, however, he also holds himself responsible for improving quality of human life - as he is inspired by his faith. Faith, according to the Aga Khan, demands people to live in peace and harmony regardless of whatever religion, ethnic background, colour and creed you represent. He believes in the essence of pluralism. This is why he has devoted most of his time to bridging societies and religions to bring harmony in the world. He thinks that he can help people understand and respect each others' traditions, values, norms and religious sophistications through pluralism.
this is a wonderful video specially for the educated. the ignorant always find fault with everyone such as the guy who commented before me. he needs to take knowledge with open heart.
Yeah, actually. Mohammed (peace be upon him) said there will be no prophets after him, but Ali and his descendants will succeed him as the Imams, or guides to help interpret the Qu'ran for Muslims.
to all the ignorant people: there is a long list of Presidents, PM etc waiting for HH the Aga Khan to just have an opportunity to meet Hiss Highness - unfortunately many of them are not fortunate enough to meet him because He is extremely busy making lives better for less fortunate people in the so called third world - only a very fortunate few will have an opportunity to meet him - Peace
arif nawaz I really feel sorry for you for your your anger. you get punished by your anger not for your anger. please stop swearing if you are a believer in any religion. try to be at peace.

The AKDN's lending Arm AKFED charges interest. If he is a "muslim", he should know that usury is haram. O you who believe, you shall not take usury, compounded over and over. Observe God, that you may succeed. (Al-'Imran 3:130), Quran
ya, a priest whose followers claims that when he drinks wine it turns into milk, my question is if drinking is prohibited in Islam, why does he drink? got milk?
Aga Khan and his community known as Ismailies are true Muslims. They believe in one God, believe that Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) is the last messenger of God, Quran is the last Holy Book, Ismailies believe that there are 1,24,000 Prophets. Who the hell you are to determine who is Muslim and who is not. Muslims are treated like second-class-citizens because of people like you who claim something big knowing nothing and considering other to be non-Muslim. Do not just listen to your 10th grade pass moulvi, just read authentic books and you'll know the truth.
1. The Ismailis (followers of the Aga Khan) all professedly believe that the Qur'an was time bound and was not meant to be a Universal message for all times. They believe that their spiritual leader, Karim Aga Khan, is the "walking - talking Qur'an" and his "religious pronouncements", whatever they may be, are the "guidance" for the present times. The fundamental article of faith that there will not be any NEW revelations or "wahy" after the Qur'an, is being completely violated by the Ismailis. 2. The Aga Khan has officially Declared himself, before his followers, as the "Mazhar of Allah on earth". The word "mazhar" means "copy" or "manifest". Consequently, these Ismailis who call themselves Muslims do "sujood" before him. So even the primary axiomatic principle of Tawheed is being fundamentally and formally violated by them. 3. The Ismailis are not instructed to offer the Islamic Salaah, observe Saum or perform Hajj. They have replaced Salaah with certain shirk-infested Dua'as (thrice a day). They are told that their Hajj is a personal "Glimpse" (Deedaar) of Karim Aga Khan. 4. The Aga Khan and his appointees 'forgive the sins' of the followers on regular basis. Ismailis are misled into believing that they will not be questioned on the Day of Judgment for the sins that are already forgiven in their Jamatkhanas (community centers). Forgiving of sins is the exclusive prerogative and privilege of Allah (swt) alone. Qur'an 3:135. 5. Against this backdrop, most of the poor (spiritually poor) Ismailis who are not introduced to al-Furqan are confused and misguided. Hence, Ismailis are very easy prey to missionary efforts by various Christian groups and Baha'is. 6. Karim Aga Khan's own daughter Zahra having married a practising Christian has opened the gates for young Ismailis girls to follow the footsteps of a family member of their beloved Imam-e-Zaman. The parents of the Ismaili girls who wish to marry outside of Islam have no recourse but to let them go. There are many more then this...
Sohail and rock usa you two are feeling very lonely as ex Ismailis and you are trying very hard to change Ismailis to your way of thinking,but let me tell you the only people who go on other side are the ones who has lost Allahs blessing after receiving it,you are trying to blow Allahs Noor with your slander,but Allah protects its Noor from hypocrites,abusing people and trying to prove them wrong will get you no where,concentrate on yourself and do some good.
You make your interpretation of the Quran and their made their interpretation. It is likely that both you and them are wrong. The most important is the spirituality behind the message of any religion. Does Allah speak to you and tells you the right meaning of the texts? I don't think so. You don't have any moral authority on any Muslims to claim that you hold the true meaning of the Quran.
The parable of those who reject Faith is as if one were to shout Like a goat-herd, to things that listen to nothing but calls and cries: Deaf, dumb, and blind, they are void of wisdom. ( سورة البقرة , Al-Baqara, Chapter #2, Verse #171) QURANI
+shanawaz kiyani Idiot, are you muslim? I don't think you are a muslim. so stop and do your own business. in order to understand the religion you have to go far away to get deep inside it. stupid man..
Who made him the rep of Muslims? The Prophet himself. Go read Muslim history. Even Sunnis accept that H Ali was appointed as the Prophets successor. He is H Ali and bibi Fatima's direct descendent and successor of Ali and Muhummad. Peach on all of them. You don't want to accept it, that's fine.
+foma saidoshurov this is a joke man he is not Muslim if you don't Allah and his Messanger Muhammed pBUh you are simply not a Muslim... And there is no such thing Sunni and Shia just believe the Quran that's it... Hope you understand thanks
