Punstoppable
A list of puns related to "Aga Khan Iv"
So what do you guys know about him and the whole Aga Khan thing? Like I get the idea of the institution but I'm a bit confused by it. Can someone explain the whole thing and it's purpose?
LOL...Imagine if this were said and taught over the current theology.
Why isn't my spiritual daddy letting me on his ship?, I told him every night before going to bed... why isn't he listening to me? :(

"And they showed their appreciation. On his Golden Jubilee, in 1936, his followers famously gave him his weight in gold, a spectacle some 30,000 onlookers jammed a square in Bombay to witness. Upon his Diamond and Platinum Jubilees, he received similar tributes in the appropriate stones and metal. The sizable funds from those tributes pale, however, compared with the zakat money traditionally paid by members of the Ismaili community, some of whom believe their imam is semi-divine. (Prince Karim categorically denies any suggestion that he is divine.) Though exact figures are not known, it is thought members who can afford to do so provide a tithe of around 10 to 12 percent of their annual income. According to some estimates, that may amount to hundreds of millions a year. While the Aga Khan has complete control over these funds, they are not meant for his personal use. It has always been difficult to calculate his own wealth versus that which belongs to the imamate, and estimates vary widely, but a recent tally put Aga Khan IVβs fortune at $13.3 billion."
" In a highly unusual arrangement, the Aga Khan adopted, you might say, the entire 20,000-acre Domaine de Chantilly, which also contains one of Franceβs foremost but relatively unknown cultural treasures, the ChΓ’teau de Chantilly. "
"Last summer marked the 55th anniversary of his imamate. It was an inheritance no oneβhimself includedβexpected him to receive when the news was announced on July 11, 1957, during a reading of the will of his grandfather His Highness Sultan Mahomed Shah, Aga Khan III. It was the first time in the familyβs 1,300-year history that a generationβKarimβs fatherβhad been skipped over. Though historians have written about the events of that day, Prince Karim has rarely publicly commented on his own feelings.
βIt was a shock,β he reveals today, βbut I donβt think anyone in my situation would have been prepared.β
