BEST PRACTICE & INCLUSIVE LEADERSHIP Guidance & Foresights from His Highness the Aga Khan His Highness the Aga Khan2 Is
BEST PRACTICE & INCLUSIVE LEADERSHIP Guidance & Foresights from His Highness the Aga Khan His Highness the Aga Khan2 is a religious leader of the Ismaili Muslim community. He has given his guidance, and foresights also on “Best practice” and “Inclusive Leadership”. He has many titles, and the one he prefers is Imam2I. His guidance for the community is collectively called Firmans3 When giving guidance, Imam looks at a horizon, of many decades ahead. Like the Ismaili constitution1, his Firmans are foundational, and an inclusive part, of the sum of the Ismaili Muslim faith. Every Ismaili Muslim has given an allegiance of loyalty, devotion and obedience to the inherited authority of Imam2. They have pledged to seek, read, share, abide by, and implement Imams Firmans. Imam gives his guidance for the worldly and spiritual, wellbeing of all members of the communities, of some 20 million worldwide. Worldly and spiritual guidance are both an integral and inclusive parts, of the essence, and practice of the Ismaili Muslim religion and Faith. For the benefit and governance of the community, and their resources, Imam ordained the global Ismaili constitution in 19861. The constitution is to be read with Firmans, and given to every Ismaili Muslim. Imam has asked the community to demystify, and articulate the Ismaili Muslim faith, in order to replace ignorance, and misperceptions in the community, and worldwide. This is one of Goals22 given by the Imam for the community. What is Best Practice and Inclusive Leadership Best practices are generally understood as, “systems procedures, and methods that are generally accepted, or prescribed as being correct or most effective, or a set of working methods accepted as being best in any particular business, or industry. -

DEVELOPMENT of Shrism in CONTEMPORARY IRAN
DEVELOPMENT OF SHriSM IN CONTEMPORARY IRAN il.BSTRACTS THESIS SUBMITTED FOR THE DEGREE OF Doctor of Philosophy (Isla.mic Studies) BY Ahsanul Haq UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF ^^\^ CENTRE OF WEST ASIAN STUDIES ALIGARH MUSLIM UNIVERSITY ALIGARH 1988 DEVELOPMENT OF SHI1SM IN CONTEMPORARY IRAN ABSTRACTS THESIS SUBMITTED FOR THE DEGREE OF Doctor of Philosophy (Isl£imic Studies) BY Ahsanul Haq UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF CENTRE OF WEST ASIAN STUDIES ALIGARH MUSLIM UNIVERSITY ALIGARH 1988 ABSTRACT The oppositional attitude of the Shi'i 'ulania' towards the Pahlavi regime increased tremendously during the reign of Mohammad Reza Shah (1941-79). This opposition, obviously, had certain theoretical bases. Though the power and authority of 'ulama' vis-a-vis the existing government began to increase right from the Safavi period, an attempt to make a direct bid for power is certainly a recent phenomenon. Although there are quite a few general works available on the changing roles of the Iranian 'ulama', there is no serious study of the theoretical changes that took place in the thoughts of Shi'i 'ulama' during the reign of Mohammad Reza Shah. This dissertation tries to fulfil this gap. The dissertation is divided into seven chapters. The first chapter deals with the origins of Shi'i theory of imamate. Most of the basic concepts of Ithna 'Ashari Shi'ism (the Twelvers) such as imaroat ghayabat, intezar and taqiyya were crystallised during the Buyid and Mongol periods. According to Ithna 'Ashari Shi'i belief only the Prophet and imams possess legitimate authority -2- to rule over the people. They enjoyed spiritual as well as temporal velayat' over the people. -
