Throughout history, Ismaili Muslims have been led by a living, hereditary Imam-of-the-Time descended from the progeny of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him and his family) through his cousin and son-in-law, Hazrat Ali, and his daughter, Hazrat Bibi Fatima.
On 13 December 2012, Ismailis around the world will celebrate the 76th birthday of our present living Imam, His Highness Prince Karim Aga Khan.
