Aga Khan’s funeral to be held in Lisbon on 8th
LISBON: The funeral of Aga Khan IV, the spiritual leader of Ismaili community, will take place in Lisbon on Saturday, a representative of the community said.
Prince Karim al-Husseini, 88, died on Tuesday. A ceremony to herald his successor is scheduled for next week.
The private funeral will be conducted at the Ismaili community centre in central Lisbon, in front of several hundred guests.
“This is a private event, not a big public event... It will be short and dignified,” Naguib Kheraj, a senior adviser to the Ismaili community, told a press conference on Thursday.
The deceased Aga Khan established the global headquarters of the Ismaili community in Lisbon in 2015.
His eldest son, 53-year-old Rahim Al-Hussaini, will succeed him and take on the title of Aga Khan V.
The equivalent of an inauguration of the new Aga Khan will be held on Tuesday morning at the community headquarters in Lisbon.
