His Highness the Aga Khan, P'95, founder and chairman of the Aga Khan Development Network (AKDN), is the 49th hereditary Imam (spiritual leader) of the Shia Ismaili Muslims. In the context of his hereditary responsibilities, His Highness has been deeply engaged with the development of Asia and Africa for more than 50 years.
The AKDN is a group of private, international, non-denominational agencies working to improve living conditions and opportunities for people in specific regions of the developing world. The Network's organisations have individual mandates that range from healthcare (through over 400 health facilities including 13 hospitals) and education (with over 200 schools) to architecture, rural development, the built environment and the promotion of private-sector enterprise. Together, they work towards a common goal - to build institutions and programmes that can respond to the challenges of social, economic and cultural change on an on-going basis.
AKDN's social development agencies include Aga Khan Health Services, Aga Khan Planning and Building Services, Aga Khan Education Services, Aga Khan Academies, Aga Khan Agency for Microfinance, Aga Khan Foundation, Focus Humanitarian Assistance as well as two universities, the Aga Khan University (with 5 campuses and 3 teaching sites) and the University of Central Asia (whose School of Professional and Continuing Education has served close to 50,000 students in Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan). The Aga Khan Trust for Culture co-ordinates AKDN's cultural activities, including the Aga Khan Award for Architecture, Aga Khan Historic Cities Programme, Aga Khan Music Initiative, Aga Khan Museum, the on-line archive Archnet.org, and the Aga Khan Program for Islamic Architecture (at Harvard and MIT). The Aga Khan Fund for Economic Development (AKFED) is dedicated to building commercially viable enterprises - in tourism, banking, insurance, media, aviation, industry and infrastructure - in the developing world.
The Network works in 30 countries. It employs approximately 80,000 people, the majority of whom are based in developing countries, and has an annual budget for non-profit development activities of approximately US$ 600 million. In 2012, AKFED's project companies generated close to $3b in total revenue - surpluses of which are all reinvested in further development activities. The AKDN enjoys close partnerships with public and private institutions, including amongst others, governments, international organisations, companies, foundations, and universities.
The Aga Khan, the AKDN and the Ismaili community have had long-standing ties to the United States. Among these are Agreements of Cooperation with the States of Texas, California and Illinois, which establish a framework for collaboration around issues of mutual interest that advance the human condition and better cross cultural understanding as well as partnerships with the United States Government in Central Asia and sub-Saharan Africa.
The Aga Khan has received numerous honorary degrees and awards in recognition of his work including, in the United States, the University of California San Francisco Medal as well as the ULI J.C. Nichols Prize for Visionaries in Urban Development. In addition, Harvard University and Brown University conferred honorary Doctor of Law degrees upon His Highness in 2008 and 1996, respectively.
This is from years ago, yet...
The mention of "Ukraine."
Constitutions are changing. There will be more larger and unprecedented changes.
Greater connectivity doesn't mean greater connection. Electronics are causing fleeting attention spans and the inability to reason.
The list goes on...
Listen to this man. So much hindsight.
Allahumma Salli Ala Muhammad Va Aale Muhammad
Ya Ali Ya Haider
nice interview of our Imam of the Time (a.s)
Dajjaal is talking about civil society, but he is a big thief and a liar. Lying about religions is a heinous crime, especially about Islam the religion of Allah-Creator of the Universe.
I've born in a Sunni family.
I want to follow this Imam. I mean I want to be an Ismaili.
What should I do before and after that?
@@king_hhh Hi, hope you are doing well. The history of Islamism goes back to the time of the holy prophet PBUH when he designed Ali as the rightful successor to lead the Muslim ummah as the first imam. Shah Karim Alhussaini (Aga Khan IV) is the 49th imam.
Regarding your conversion, you should approach Ismaili council in the country you are living in. Before that, let me clarify that non-ismailis have always misinterpreted ismailism and spread fabric.ated information about. I think one of the ways is to understand the role of imam from purely islamic perspective otherwise people will misguide you. The topics to understand which are purely islamic are the authority of imam, Ismaili constitution, the seven pillars of ismailism (five of them followed by mainstream Muslims), the exoteric and esoteric interpretation of Islam and the role of interpretation of faith by Imam of the time. Thank you!
❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😘😘😘
Whereever western intellectuals find someone against to İslam and close to Christian faith they immediately attach him higness, we dont expect honesty anyway, we used to it.

@@LaughingJoystick23wait till his nudes come out ahahahahahhahhhh you'll loe his joystick
A man of vision. About the only man dispelling myths against Islam. Single handedly He raises the platform and raises the image of Islam.
Anyone who thinks any less of him has got to be living under a rock of ignorance.
Can’t agree more!!
Aga Khan sahib is the wisest man on the earth
He is a Devil Dajjaal hiding his real ID. Expert in lying, cheating, and deceiving the world. He keeps on talking about Islam and Muslims, but hates Islam and Quran that's why he rejected Islam.
Always excellent Lots of in depth of Knowledge and the great vision.
Love him
Amina Hassanali dogood
He is Dajjaal full of sweet talk hiding his true ID. He has no love for anybody except Money. He keeps on looting from his followers. His charity foundations are his 'Money Making Machines'. Shame on him.
@@gulshanaalani3261
As his grandfather was. Right?
Who was a founding father of Pakistan.
A close ally of Jinnah and Iqbal.
@@gulshanaalani3261Do not spread misinformation if you don't know about anything. Ismailis have never been looted. And if that was the case, look where Ismailis stand today.Alhamdulilah ❤️
Words of wisdom!!
Words of Devil Dajjaal.
Excellent
