Dallas, Texas, July 10, 2007. The World Muslim Congress joins in the felicitation of His Highness the Aga Khan on the Golden (50th) anniversary of his ascension to the Imamat (spiritual and temporal leadership) of the Shia Imami Ismaili Muslims on July11, 1957. He succeeded his grandfather as the 49th hereditary Imam of the Ismaili Muslims.
Qur’aan says in Al-Hujurat, Surah 49:13: “O mankind! We have created you male and female, and have made you nations and tribes that ye may know one another. The noblest of you, in sight of Allah, is the best in conduct. Allah Knows and is Aware.” HH Aga Khan has assiduously tried to live up to the essence of the above verse.
