Although Aga Khan had a great deal of land and wealth, he was an "eunuch" after all, and he had lost his fertility and had been worried about choosing an heir in his later years. Aga Khan was born in the Qajar tribe of the Turks, his father Hassan Khan was the chief of the Qajar tribe, according to the Iranian history books, Hassan Khan had many sons, and Aga Khan was his eldest son, in addition to Aga Khan also had two younger brothers of the same mother, namely the second brother Hussein and the third brother Faral.

In the early years of Aga Khan, he and his two younger brothers were imprisoned by the Kurds for many years, and Aga Khan and his two younger brothers lived together through many hardships, so the brotherhood between Aga Khan and his two younger brothers was very deep. Aga Khan's second brother Hussein was an unsound young man, and when Hussein grew up, he immediately and recklessly summoned his old ministry to avenge his father, only to be defeated and killed not long after, and his two sons were rescued by Aga Khan and protected by Qajar's army.

Hussein's death hit Aga Khan hard, and the brave and warlike Hussein had always been Aga Khan's right-hand man, and after Aga Khan soared, he began to look for his heir again, but Aga Khan felt that these people were inferior to his second brother Hussein. Aga Khan's third brother, Farral, was a cowardly personality and was not a man of great things, while Hussein's two sons, although also quite wise, had some shortcomings in their personality.
