Prince Aga Khan's quest for intellectual excellence - Express Tribune Feature

The great legacy of Islamic accomplishment in pursuing educational excellence had long been an inspiration to His Highness Prince Karim Aga Khan.

And his grandfather, Sir Sultan Mahomed Shah Aga Khan, was deeply aware of Islam’s rich intellectual heritage as well. “He was convinced of the enormous importance of higher education for the future of the Ummah around the world.”

He was addressing Aga Khan University’s 26th graduation ceremony held at its Karachi campus, which also marked the 30th anniversary of its foundation and the granting of its charter in 1983.

One thought

  1. Excellent writeup. I only wish this article could be widely circulated and also in the local languages. People don’t know about the work and the achievements of the Aga Khan and the AKDN.
