The late Aga Khan IV, the 49th hereditary imam of the Shiite Ismaili Muslims, was laid to rest in a private ceremony in Aswan, Egypt. His passing was announced by the Aga Khan Development Network and the Ismaili religious community, with his son Rahim Al-Hussaini succeeding him as the Aga Khan V.
A private funeral service was held at the Ismaili community center in Lisbon, attended by dignitaries such as Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Spain’s King Emeritus Juan Carlos, and Portugal’s President Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa.
