Ismaili movement

The Ismaili movement is a branch of Shia Islam that believes in a continuous line of spiritual and religious leadership, known as Imams, starting with Prophet Muhammad’s descendants. They emphasize the importance of understanding faith through reason, knowledge, and personal effort, guided by their spiritual leaders, called Imams and the Aga Khans. Ismailis focus on community service, education, and social development, striving to embody Islamic principles in everyday life while fostering open dialogue and pluralism. Their approach combines deep spiritual tradition with a commitment to progressive values and global engagement.
