THE AGA KHAN’S DIRECT DESCENT FROM PROPHET MUHAMMAD Step 10: Shah Karim al-Husayni Aga Khan IV, the only claimant to the Imamat who traces his lineage through both Isma‘il ibn Ja‘far and Nizar ibn al-Mustansir, is the true and legitimate Imam in directl lineal descent from Prophet Muhammad and Imam ‘Ali ibn Abi Talib.

One of the ways in which Ismailis have expressed their identity wherever they have lived is through their places of prayer, known today as the Jamatkhana. Other Muslim communities give their religious buildings different names: from ribat and zawiyya to khanaqa. WHY DID THE AGA KHAN GET DIVORCED? Why Did The Aga Khan Get Divorced? Imam Shah Karim al-Husayni Aga Khan IV has brought for the past 60 years — and continues to bring — spiritual, ethical, social, and material succour to the entire world through his tireless and selfless development work through the AKDNactivities.

WHY IS THE IMAM'S PHOTOGRAPH BEING KEPT IN THE JAMATKHANA Why is the Imam's Photograph Being kept in the Jamatkhana? Isn't this Idolatry? This question has already been answered by an eminent contemporary Ismaili scholar: WHY DON'T ISMAILIS PERFORM THE HAJJ PILGRIMAGE TO MECCA The original Ḥajj, in its Qur’ānic origins, is a pilgrimage to both the physical Ka‘bah and the Prophet of the time and his family.

"The veil for women is a tradition which precedes Islam, and was introduced as a sign of respect of women and not of submission, i.e. against the concept that woman is an object of the society of men."

DID PROPHET MUHAMMAD MARRY A 9-YEAR-OLD GIRL? Did Prophet Muhammad marry a 9-year-old girl? There is little evidence she (A’isha) was 9 years old. Historical analysis of the sources shows she was 14–16 when she was betrothed.
