Click on the 'Ismaili History' link to the left of this window and go to the respective Imam. For example:

RADI ABDULLAH (225-268/840-881)

Hussain bin Ahmad or Abu Abdullah, surnamed az-Zaki, known as Hussain ar-Radi, or Radi Abdullah (Servant of God who is satisfied and content), was born in 210/825 and assumed the Imamate in 225/840. He is also called Muhammad and al-Muqtada al-Hadi. His also kept his identity secret being represented by his hujjat, Ahmad, surnamed al-Hakim.

FYI - it's RUKNUDDIN KHURSHAH - not KhairiShah...Khurshah is Farsi - meaning the SUN.
Khairishah is not a word in any language.
I've heard many people do that in the dua these days along with Jaffer INIS Sadique - when it is just Jaffer ISS Sadique, or A - Ala Mohammed - when it should be ALA Mohammed.
