How Does The Aga Khan Institution Differ From Conventional Islamic Faith?

Question

I am asking this because I was told by an Aga Khan member that they also recite the Gayatri Mantra (hindu prayer).....Can any Muslim clarify?

Answer 1

The Aga Khan's group are Ismaelis whose religion is Shia Islam.  However, they are a bit more broadminded than the Ayatollahs.  I haven't come across them using the Gayatri Mantra, but there would probably be no objection is an individual wanted to add it to his prayers.
