Aga Khan III: His Life, Accomplishments and Service to Humanity | Ismaili Gnosis

On the birthday of Imam Sultan Muhammad Shah Aga Khan III, an abbreviated timeline of some of his great accomplishments is given below:

• 1897 – Knight Commander of the Indian Empire by Queen Victoria
• 1899 – Star of Persia by the Shah of Persia
• 1907-1914 – Founding Member and President of the All-India Muslim League
• 1921 – Founding Member and Vice Chancellor of Aligarh University
• 1923 – Knight Grand Cross of the Royal Victorian Order by King George
• 1924-25 – Nominated for Nobel Peace Prize
• 1930 – Chairman of the British-Indian section to the Round Table Conference
• 1932 – Delegate of India to the League of Nations
• 1937-38 – President of the League of Nations

“Indeed, all the problems that fall to the League of Nations may be ultimately reduced to one – that of man, and the dignity of man. It is in that sense that the work of the League assumes its true significance and acquires its permanent value. The tribulations of one people are the tribulations of all. That which weakens one weakens all. That which is a gain to one is surely a gain to all. This is no empty ideal. It is a veritable compass to guide aright the efforts of statesmen in every country and of all men of good will who, desiring the good of their own people, desire the good of the whole world.”
