Aga Khan, the leader of Ismaili Muslims, laid to rest in Egypt during private burial ceremony
There are about 12 million Ismaili Muslims in the world. The biggest community is in India (1.5 million), with significant populations in Pakistan, Afghanistan, Syria, Tajikistan and Yemen. Their religion is more liberal than Islam as practiced in countries like Saudi Arabia and Iran, with equality between women and men.
Peace be upon him.
