FDC Stationary Charge : 6.00 TK Stamps and FDC has been issued (2008-05-19) at night and distributed next day. His Highness the Aga Khan completed his 50th year as Imam of the Ismaili community on 11 July 2007. He succeeded his grandfather, Sir Sultan Mahomed Shah, as the 49th hereditary Imam (spiritual leader) of the Shia Ismaili Muslims. The Aga Khan leads a community of 15 million Ismaili Muslims living in some 25 countries, mainly in Asia, Africa, the Middle East, Europe and North America. As per belief of the Ismaili community he is a direct descendant of the Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him and his family) through his cousin and son-in-law Hazrat Ali (K), the first Imam, and his wife Fatima (R), the Prophet's daugther. In keeping with the Shia tradition of Islam, the mandate of the Imam extends to both spiritual and worldly matters. Since assuming the office of the Imamat in 1957, Prince Karim Aga Khan has taken upon himself his grandfather's concern for the wellbeing of the Ismaili community, the wider Muslim community and those amongst whom they live. He has emphasised Islam as a thinking, spiritual faith that teaches compassion and tolerance and upholds the dignity of mankind. In the Ismaili tradition, the Imam's Jubilee celebrations offer occasions to launch new social, cultural and economic development Projects. In keeping with the ethics of the faith, these projects aspire to improve the quality of life for the most vulnerable in society. Sir Sultan Mahomed Shah Aga Khan's Jubilees led to the creation of schools, hospitals, housing projects, insurance companies and cooperative banking programmes.
