The Aga Khan IV, Prince Karim al-Hussaini, passed away at 88, leaving a legacy as a significant spiritual and philanthropic leader for Shia Ismaili Muslims. Ascending to leadership at just 20 years old while studying at Harvard, he transformed his family's material wealth into substantial development efforts, creating homes, hospitals, and schools in various developing nations. His influence spanned the intersection of faith and modernity, promoting education and cultural exchange, earning him the respect of millions and between communities.
"The Aga Khan evolved into a business magnate and philanthropist, moving between the spiritual and the worldly and mixing them with ease."
"I was an undergraduate who knew what his work for the rest of his life was going to be...I don't think anyone in my situation would have been prepared."
