Barakah is dedicated to Mawlana Shah Rahim al Hussaini, His Highness the Aga Khan, members of his family and the Ismaili Imamat – a Hereditary Divine Institution from the Time of the Prophet Muhammad and Imam Ali
Prince Rahim Al Hussaini Aga Khan, the 50th Ismaili Imam, stepped into his role on February 4, 2025, following the passing of his father, Mawlana Shah Karim Al Hussaini, His Highness the Aga Khan.
