Transition and Renewal: Prince Rahim Aga Khan Ascends to the Ismaili Imamat in Challenging Times
February 11, 2025: A Personal Reflection by Karim H. Karim
Aga Khan IV worked closely for several decades with members of his family to run Ismaili Imamat’s multiple global networks. These institutions include transnational and translocal communal bodies as well as the public-facing Aga Khan Development Network (AKDN), which is one of the world’s largest non-governmental organizations. The religious leader passed away on February 4, 2025 and his eldest son, Prince Rahim al-Hussaini, became Imam of the worldwide Jamat (community) of Nizari Ismaili Muslims.
