Prince Aly Muhammad attended the September 7, 2025, reopening ceremony for the Chapel of Our Lady of Affliction in Branzelo, Portugal, a structure rebuilt after being damaged by 2024 wildfires. The chapel's restoration was a collaborative effort between the Ismaili Imamat, the Aga Khan Trust for Culture, local authorities, and the Catholic Church, symbolizing interfaith solidarity and strengthening community ties.

During the ceremony, the Aga Khan Foundation and Gondomar municipality signed a protocol to advance local social and community initiatives.
