"It is not allowed. You are severely reprimanded. There is a very clear set of rules by which you can live… Our belief is that the thing which separates man from the animals is his power of thought. Anything that impedes this process is wrong. Therefore alcohol is forbidden. I have never touched alcohol." - Imam Shah Karim al-Husayni Aga Khan IV,
The Sunday Times, 12 December 1965

"I don’t drink alcoholic beverages for several reasons. For one thing, I am a Muslim. For another, I am an athlete in year-round training…. ([A] cause of embarrassment is the numbered jersey he must wear while racing. It often displays an ad for some alcoholic aperitif — this being a ski-race sponsor’s right.) I do not like the thought that the Ismailis may see a newsreel film of some competition and think their Imam was drinking, or urging other people to do so.” Sports Illustrated Interview, Paul Evan Ress, ‘Prince Karim Aga Khan’ (USA) 10 August 1964 #Ismailis #OneJamat #UltimateJamat #JourneyToDubai #FollowtheFanous #JubileeGames #JGDubai2016
