The Aga Khan IV, a revered spiritual leader, philanthropist, and one of the world's wealthiest men, passed away at the age of 88 in Lisbon, Portugal. As the 49th hereditary Imam of the Shia Ismaili Muslims, he led a global community of around 15 million followers while also overseeing an expansive philanthropic and business empire.
His passing marks the end of an era for the Ismaili community, with his successor set to be announced following the reading of his will.
