For more information please visit ismailignosis.com. 48. Imam Sultan Muhammad Shah Aga Khan III (1885-1957): "In the early hours of July 11, the Aga’s heart-beat weakened. Aly and Sadruddin were summoned to the Barakat but their dying father could no longer speak. Karim came and the Begum was still keeping up her vigil. Four doctors were in attendance and nurses left the sick-room only to change their clothes or take a bite. At midday, the Aga Khan was sleeping peacefully. Forty minutes later his life slipped quietly away… The curtains were drawn and darkness fell over a great figure of the age.” - Willi Frischauer, (The Aga Khans, 1970, 206) Read more: https://ismailignosis.com/2014/07/11/light-upon-light-glimpses-into-the-succession-of-the-shia-ismaili-imams/ #Ismailis #Ismailism #AgaKhan #ProudIsmaili #OneJamat #ImamOfTheTime #Adam2AgaKhan #DiamondJubilee #DJCountdown #IsmailiGnosisDJCountdown #IsmailiImamat #au2k17c1 #CountdownToDJ #ProudToBeACanadianIsmaili Please visit www.ismailignosis.com or ask.ismailignosis.com or visit our Facebook page www.facebook.com/IsmailiGnosis for more gems about Mawlana Hazar Imam, the Imamat, and Ismaili history and philosophy.

Imam Sultan Muhammad Shah Aga Khan III (1885-1957): “Will-power alone enabled the Aga Khan to hold out until the end of the [Diamond Jubilee] ceremony. Once in his suite…he was near collapse, ran a temperature and was so low that doctors insisted on him taking a complete rest—no work, no worry! He was haunted by the needs and the problems of the community as if determined to safeguard the future while he still had the strength… he heaved himself to his desk and wrote a long personal letter to Amirali Fancy in which he set out his ideas and plans on how to advance the fortunes of his community....It was 2 a.m... 'His Highness wants a reply at once,' the A.D.C. said,' it will have to be done very quickly so that the Begum does not find out he has been working at nights.’” - Willi Frischauer, The Aga Khans Read more: https://ismailignosis.com/2016/07/09/the-aga-khans-direct-descent-from-prophet-muhammad-historical-proof/ #Ismailis #Ismailism #AgaKhan #ProudIsmaili #OneJamat #ImamOfTheTime #Adam2AgaKhan #DiamondJubilee #DJCountdown #IsmailiGnosisDJCountdown #IsmailiImamat #au2k17c1 #CountdownToDJ #ProudToBeACanadianIsmaili Please visit www.ismailignosis.com or ask.ismailignosis.com or visit our Facebook page www.facebook.com/IsmailiGnosis for more gems about Mawlana Hazar Imam, the Imamat, and Ismaili history and philosophy.

Imam Sultan Muhammad Shah Aga Khan III (1885-1957): "It is more than ever necessary that the foundation of Imami-Ismailism should be understood by the new generation of Ismailis throughout the world. If those who believe that Hazrat Ali was the rightful successor of the Prophet to be the Ulu’l-Amr Minkum [then they] must accept the principle of that succession — for the same reasons they accept in the case of Hazrat Ali — his rightful Imam descendants. The Imami Ismailis maintain that the position of the Ulu’l-Amr Minkum (holders of Divine Command) never dies out and this succession goes on till the Day of Judgment on Earth." - Imam Shah Sultan Muhammad Shah Aga Khan III The final reconciliation between the Shia and Sunni doctrines http://www.nanowisdoms.org/nwblog/10120/ Read more: https://ismailignosis.com/2016/07/09/the-aga-khans-direct-descent-from-prophet-muhammad-historical-proof/ #Ismailis #Ismailism #AgaKhan #ProudIsmaili #OneJamat #ImamOfTheTime #Adam2AgaKhan #DiamondJubilee #DJCountdown #IsmailiGnosisDJCountdown #IsmailiImamat #au2k17c1 #CountdownToDJ #ProudToBeACanadianIsmaili Please visit www.ismailignosis.com or ask.ismailignosis.com or visit our Facebook page www.facebook.com/IsmailiGnosis for more gems about Mawlana Hazar Imam, the Imamat, and Ismaili history and philosophy.

Interviewer: How do you see your responsibility as THE LIVING Imam? Mawlana Hazar Imam: "The Imam is first of all obviously responsible for the interpretation and practise of the faith and that is a role which my grandfather fulfilled which I fulfil today.
