    ​@AmirKhan-lj4ep Yes Aga Khan has nothing to do with Islam which you follow through the progeny of Maviya and his descendent Yazeed and so forth and so on. Lastly, ponder a hundred times before putting your nasty thoughts into words.

    Brother, if you think, you are a seeker of your history, you need to read history yourself. It will enable you to comprehend how history shapes everything including faith. However, our entire exoteric history is too enigmatic to understand. So, I personally as your spiritual brother request you and other brothers to come across their history because it is of the utmost importance thing. Moula Ali Madad❤

    So an Imam believes the universe could blink out of existence . I wish God just would announce one day to the world that Ismailism is the worlds and we are all wrong . Clear up all the confusion and put a stop to all the fighting.

    Quick question, current Aga Khan is 49th Imam and he succeeded his grandfather Sultan Aga Khan III who was 48th Imam. What I understand Imamat passes from father to son, so how come here the chain is broken? If we believe in lineage son of 48th Imam should have been 49th and then HE Aga Khan as 50th. So what am I missing? Thanks

    The current aga khan's father was bypassed for the leadership coz he was a drunkard n womanizer. That was too much of a reputation risk to bear. So he was passed over for his son.

    @@shoaibriz Thanks. However this then is not per the concept of Imamat. Imamat passes from father to son in line and succession. So if grandfather is Imam and grandson is Imam, father 'has' to be Imam as well. The chain cannot be broken. I hope some Aga Khani brother or sister can shed some light on this and respond.

    @@noahadam771 all Ismailis are authorized to speak as ambassadors of their faith. No special permission is required in general and Ismaili academics in particular don’t require special permission or authorization to lecture and research on the Ismaili tradition. Your original comment is misleading because it assumes that “endorsement” from the Aga Khan is an actual and necessary qualification that Ismaili scholars must possess to speak in public and be credible. But this is false. There’s no such qualification and this isn’t how things actually work for Ismaili academics, who don’t require the Aga Khan’s endorsement to have scholarly credibility.
