Final answer:

Aga Khan I is the first Imam of the Nizari Ismaili Muslims. He was not the first Ismaili Imam to visit Europe, the founder of the Fatimid Caliphate, nor the one to establish the Jamatkhana system.

Step-by-step explanation:

Aga Khan I is a) The first Imam of the Nizari Ismaili Muslims. The title of Aga Khan was first granted to Hasan Ali Shah by the Persian Shah in the 19th century, and he became the hereditary leader of the Nizari Ismaili sect.

Regarding the other questions for additional context:

  • Shah Ismail claimed about himself b) that he was the long-awaited twelfth imam.
  • The mawali in early Islamic society were a) non-Arab converts to Islam.
  • The state founded in North Africa and eventually centered in Egypt was d) the Fatimid Caliphate.

The Shia believe Ali was the first legitimate imam and followers of the Twelvers sect anticipate the return of the twelfth and final imam to herald the Day of Judgment.

Muslims believe c) they worship the same God as Jewish people and Christians.
