This short film is one of the most absorbing and inspiring presentations I have ever seen on Mawlana Shah Karim, His Highness the Aga Khan, who passed away in Lisbon on February 4, 2025 at the age of 88. He has been succeeded by his eldest son, Mawlana Shah Rahim, who was conferred the title His Highness by His Majesty, King Charles III.
Light Upon Light is not just a film, it’s a crucial piece of the history of Shah Karim’s 67 year reign as the 49th Imam of the Ismaili Muslims. Aside from the singing and recitation of prayers at appropriate moments and questions by media interviewers, there is not a single instance of anyone else speaking in the film. The words and sentiments are of the Imam alone. Every Ismaili in the world, especially the youth in the community, must watch this singularly important presentation. No viewer will want to stop watching it after the first few minutes. It is an awesome and captivating presentation that holds immense significance for the Ismaili community. Friends of the Ismaili community will also find the 38 minute presentation engrossing.
