Aga Khans are Fake Imams and Heretics

الصلاة والسلام عليك يا خاتم النبيين

Prayers and peace be upon you, Seal of the Prophets

The Nizari Isma’ilis, commonly known as Aga Khanis, followers of the Aga Khan, are undoubtedly heretics (zanadiqah). The Sunni Ulama are unanimous in their verdict that the Aga Khanis are non-Muslim unbelievers. Nevertheless, the Aga Khan and his followers claim to be Muslims and that their religion is Islam. Many ordinary Muslims are duped into thinking Aga Khanis are fellow Believers, especially because of certain charitable and humanitarian projects financed and managed by them. Ordinary Muslims are impressed with the Aga Khan University and Hospital in Karachi and the Aga Khan Development Network. The enormous wealth of the Aga Khan (he is a billionaire) means that various Muslim heads of state receive him with state honors. Yet it is obvious that the Aga Khani community have totally separated themselves from the Muslim Ummah. They do not worship in the Mosques of the Muslims but have their own separate “Jama’at Khanas” which are off limits to everyone but Aga Khanis. Therein they practice secretive and occultic rituals. The Aga Khanis consider their Aga Khan God Himself:

The religion however centred around the belief in the Aga Khan whom his followers worshipped. In one of his articles written in 1923 in John Bull, entitled “I belong to no country”; the late Aga Khan said “I am a direct descendant of the Prophet and a large number of Muhammadans numbering about 20 million acknowledge me as their head. They pay me tribute and worship me, who has the blood of their Prophet in my vein.” Some of the early opposition to the Aga Khan was also for these extraordinary claims. Karim Goolamali, Secretary, Khoja Reformers’ Society (1927) in an open letter addressed to His Highness the Aga Khan, writes, “your Highness is Almighty God and divine worship is to be paid to you alone and no one else. And as a matter of fact that is what your preachers preach, your followers practice and all prayers are addressed personally to your Highness as the Supreme Deity.” (Lokhandwalla, S.T. “Islamic Law and Ismaili Communities (Khojas and Bohras)” Indian Economic Social History Review, 1968, p.162)

Giving an example of this phenomenon in a footnote, Lokhandwalla refers to Harry J. Greenwell’s account of the Aga Khan freely and shamelessly drinking wine: “Alcohol, for example, is forbidden to Moslems, but the Aga Khan takes wine when he wills, although he preaches abstinence and counsels the drinking of fruit juices. He can take wine without offending any religious scruples because, as he says himself, ‘I am so holy that when I drink wine, it turns to water.’” (Greenwell, Harry J. His Highness the Aga Khan: Imam of the Ismailis, The Cresset Press, London, 1952, p.14)

The Aga Khan’s claim to being a direct descendant of the Holy Prophet Muhammad, sall Allahu alayhi wasallam, is in fact dubious. The Aga Khan is descended from Hasan II of Alamut, whom the Nizaris say was the son of Hasan al-Qahir, the 22^nd Nizari Isma’ili Imam. However, it is more likely he was the son of Muhammad bin Buzurg Ummid, of Dailamite origin, who was the official representative of the secretive Hasan al-Qahir, and initially succeeded his father not to the Imamate but to the post of Da’i or caller to and official representative of the Imam. Incidentally, it was Hasan II of Alamut who proclaimed that the Qiyamah had occurred in 1164 CE, and therefore that the Shari’ah had been abolished. This is why Aga Khanis do not observe any of the Five Pillars of Islam or others laws of the Shari’ah. They do not offer the Salah fives times a day, fast in Ramadan or undertake the Hajj to Mecca. Furthermore, not only is Hasan II being a son of the Nizari Imam doubtful, but even the line of Isma’ili Imams beginning with the Fatimid rulers being descendants of the Prophet is doubtful too! When the Fatimids emerged, they claimed that the Imams had been in a period of concealment (dawr al-satr) after the death of Muhammad bin Isma’il. Three supposed Imams had lived in concealment, with no means to verify their identity or descent from Muhammad bin Isma’il, namely, Abdullah bin Muhammad bin Isma’il (Ahmad al-Wafi), Ahmad bin Abdullah (Muhammad al-Taqi) and Husayn bin Ahmad (Abdullah al-Radi). Thus it is likely that when the first Fatimid ruler, called “al-Mahdi Billah”, emerged he had this genealogy manufactured to legitimize himself.

Recently, Aga Khan IV, Prince Karim, died and was succeeded by his son, Aga Khan V, Prince Rahim. These Aga Khans live in the lap of luxury and practice a lifestyle that is devoid of any morality or honor, let alone spirituality and closeness to God. Let alone infallible Imams, they are not even worthy of being considered decent human beings. The Aga Khanis are therefore a cult that blindly follow their Aga Khan, without holding him to account for his sinful and corrupt ways. If he is a true Imam representing God on Earth why doesn’t he have his people reach out to the world and invite them to believe in him? The truth is that the Aga Khanis know their Imam is a counterfeit and has none of the qualities of someone who is truly close to God and righteous, so they have kept their enterprise secretive and inaccessible from the rest of humanity. I find no difference between the worldly princes and the so-called Imam of the Isma’ilis. On what basis do they say he is a man of God who acts as a divine intermediary between Heaven and Earth? Compare the Aga Khan to the Prophet Muhammad, sall Allahu alayhi wasallam and his rightly-guided Successors, Abu Bakr, Umar, Uthman and Ali, radi Allahu anhum. What an incredible and stark difference! Once Umar al-Faruq, radi Allahu anhu, entered upon the Prophet, peace be upon him, who was resting on a mat on the hard surface, which had left marks on the side of his body, with only a handful of barley and some leaves in his storage room. Seeing this condition of the Prophet, Umar al-Faruq began to weep and said:

يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ وَمَا لِي لاَ أَبْكِي وَهَذَا الْحَصِيرُ قَدْ أَثَّرَ فِي جَنْبِكَ وَهَذِهِ خِزَانَتُكَ لاَ أَرَى فِيهَا إِلاَّ مَا أَرَى وَذَاكَ قَيْصَرُ وَكِسْرَى فِي الثِّمَارِ وَالأَنْهَارِ وَأَنْتَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَصَفْوَتُهُ وَهَذِهِ خِزَانَتُكَ

O Prophet of Allah, why should I not cry while this mat has left an impression on your side, and this is your storage, in which I see nothing but what I see, and that is Caesar and Chosroes, among the fruits and rivers, and you are the Messenger of Allah, and His chosen one, and this is your storage! (Sahih al-Bukhari & Sahih Muslim)
