Aga Khan IV

Prince Shah Karim Al Hussaini Aga Khan , NPk, NI, KBE, CC, GCC, GCIH, GCM was born on December 13, 1936, in Geneva, Switzerland. He is a British[4] business magnate,[5][6][7][8] racehorse owner and breeder,[5][9] as well as being the 49th and current Imam of Nizari Ismailism, a denomination of Ismailism within Shia Islam consisting of an estimated 5-15 million adherents.[8][10][11][12] He has held this position of Imam, under the title of Aga Khan IV, since July 11, 1957,[13] when, at the age of 20, he succeeded his grandfather, Sir Sultan Muhammad Shah Aga Khan III. The Aga Khan claims to be a direct descendant of the Islamic Prophet Muhammad through Muhammad's cousin and son-in-law, Ali,[14] considered the first Imam in Shia Islam, and Ali's wife Fatima az-Zahra, Muhammad’s daughter from his first marriage. As the Imam of Nizari Ismailism, the Aga Khan IV is considered by his followers to be the proof or hujjah of God on earth[15] as well as infallible and immune from sin[16]. He is further considered by his followers to be the carrier of the eternal Noor of Allah [15] – a concept unique to certain denominations of Shia Islam.
