For almost three decades, Princess Zahra Aga Khan has immersed herself in the work of the Ismaili Imamat, a Hereditary Divine Institution which is led by her father, His Highness the Aga Khan, the 49th Imam in direct descent of the Prophet Muhammad (may peace be upon him and his family). The scope of the work of the Imamat extends to all areas of human endeavour and the entire family of the Aga Khan contributes to Ismaili institutions around the world as well as to the Imamat’s primary development organization, the Aga Khan Development Network (AKDN).
Princess Zahra is one of four children of the Aga Khan. As she celebrates her 53rd birthday on September 18, we bring to our readers her beautiful story through a selection of photographs that we have been able to gather from printed Ismaili community magazines as well as the official websites of the Ismaili Imamat. Please click PRINCESS ZAHRA AGA KHAN.
Albertans and Canadians may note that she was here 12 months ago for the opening of the Diwan Pavilion at the Aga Khan Garden in Edmonton, part of the University of Alberta’s Botanic Garden. The garden was a gift from the Aga Khan to the university.
