Excerpts: His Highness the Aga Khan on the tithes (dasond) given to him by Ismailis
Roy Bonisteel: That your leadership wasn't just spiritual it was also financial support there too -- tell me, does the community still tithe to you?
Aga Khan: There is, like in I think all faiths, a form of religious due which is voluntary, which is institutional income. It is given within the context of the link between the Imam of the Time and the individual, or the family, and I think that it is been a source of strength both to the community and to the institution so long as those resources are used in a manner which is appropriate to the role of the Imam as an institution and is understood as such.
