Expressions of love for the Imam
“While he [His Highness Prince Karim Aga Khan IV] was my father in law for many years, he’s been my spiritual father since we met … deeply loved by all and most especially by this murid.
…
[Prince] Rahim will make a wonderful Aga Khan V. His intelligence, strength of character & always perfectly deployed sense of humor …”
Extracts from Khaliya’s tweets on the passing of His Highness Prince Karim Aga Khan IV, the 49th Imam of the Ismailis and the naming of the 50th Imam – His Highness Prince Rahim Aga Khan V
Khaliya – Tuesday, February 4, 2025:
His Highness Prince Karim Aga Khan has died. I feel so blessed to have known him, & to have spent countless hours in his company. While he was my father in law for many years, he’s been my spiritual father since we met & will continue in that role, even as he transitions on.
I love him, as I continue to love every member of the Aga Khan family & the Ismaili community, & my heart is breaking today to know he is no longer with us.
Rest in Peace. Rest in Power. Rest knowing you have made the world a better place and were deeply loved by all and most especially by this murid.
Khaliya – Thursday, February 6, 2025:
Rahim will make a wonderful Aga Khan V. His intelligence, strength of character & always perfectly deployed sense of humor will gain him respect & garner strong allies. I look forward to watching the organization & community thrive under his leadership.
