STORYLINE:
The funeral of Aga Khan IV and 49th hereditary imam of the Shiite Ismaili Muslims, took place in Lisbon on Saturday with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Spanish emeritus King Juan Carlos among the guests.
Lisbon mayor Carlos Moedas and Portuguese President Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa were also among those who paid their respects at the ceremony in Lisbon.
The late Aga Khan was given the title of “His Highness” by Queen Elizabeth in July 1957, two weeks after his grandfather, the Aga Khan III, unexpectedly made him heir to the family’s 1,300-year dynasty as leader of the Ismaili Muslim sect.
Over decades, the late Aga Khan evolved into a business magnate and a philanthropist, moving between the spiritual and the worldly with ease.
A defender of Islamic culture and values, he was widely regarded as a builder of bridges between Muslim societies and the West despite — or perhaps because of — his reticence about becoming involved in politics.
A network of hospitals bearing the Aga Khan’s name is scattered in places where health care was lacking for the poorest, including Bangladesh, Tajikistan and Afghanistan, where he spent tens of millions of dollars in developing local economies.
Rahim Al-Hussaini was named Wednesday as the new Aga Khan, spiritual leader of the world’s millions of Ismaili Muslims, following the death of his father.
The 53-year-old was designated as the Aga Khan V, the 50th hereditary imam of the Ismaili Muslims, in his father’s will. His father died Tuesday in Portugal.
The Aga Khan is considered by his followers to be a direct descendant of the Prophet Muhammad and is treated as a head of state.
