This book is the first work written by an Ismaili Shia imam that has been published in this volume and detail during the past fourteen centuries. Such a written document is unprecedented in Ismaili history.
Sultan Mohammad Shah nicknamed Aga Khan III was the imam of Ismaili Shiites for nearly seventy-two years (1885-1957). He had a role and opinion in the time when the world witnessed two world wars, the plague epidemic and rapid progress in the fields of knowledge and technology and the formation of the nation state. During the Imamate of Aga Khan III, the Ismaili Imamate followed a gradual process towards institutionalization and kept pace with the developments of the contemporary world. Today, the Ismaili Shia Imamate is recognized worldwide as a transnational institution, and the Masnad of Imamate, the Diwan of the Ismaili Imamate, is located in Portugal and enjoys diplomatic formalities.
The Imamate has diplomatic offices at the embassy level in nearly thirty countries of the world. The government of Canada at the level of the ambassador and the country of Portugal at the level of the diplomatic mission have a representative in the office of Imamate. Aga Khan's development network is one of the largest and most reliable development networks in the world.
Studying this historical and important book is important not only for understanding the history of Shia Ismaili Muslims and the biography of Imam Sultan Mohammad Shah, but also for better understanding of the institution of Imamate, international activities and the image and global recognition of Ismaili Imamate. This book recounts the views of the 48th Imam of the Ismailis regarding art, literature, culture, the right of human equality and especially the right of women to access education and medical services, politics and society.
In terms of history and world politics, this book contains first-hand accounts of events that shaped important world realities in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
