LISBON (Reuters) -Prince Rahim Al-Hussaini was named the 50th hereditary Imam, or spiritual leader, of Ismaili Muslims on Wednesday after the will of his late father Prince Karim Aga Khan IV was unsealed, the Aga Khan Development Network said.
His father, known for his dazzling wealth and development work around the world, died in Lisbon, the seat of the Ismaili Imamat, at age 88 on Tuesday. The funeral is expected to take place in Portugal's capital "in the coming days", as soon as arrangements are finalised, the Imamat said on its website.
