Re : Re: Fatimid caliphat
Al-Aziz (955–996) (Arabic: العزيز بالله) was the fifth Caliph of the Fatimids (975–996).
Abu l-Mansur Nizar al-Aziz acceded to the Caliphate with the help of Jawhar as-Siqilli. Under Al-Aziz the Fatimid Empire stretched as far as Palestine and Syria (from 977/978). Mecca and Medina also acknowledged the suzerainty of the Fatimids.
The reign of Al-Aziz was culturally significant. His grand Vizir Yaqub ibn Killis 979-991 founded the al-Azhar University in Cairo (988) which went on to become the most important centre of learning in the Islamic world. Likewise a library with 200,000 volumes was built in Cairo.
Al-Aziz died on the 13th October 996. His son Al-Hakim bi-Amr Allah (996-1021) succeed him as Caliph.after his the nizaris sect(shia sect) apear:
The Nizārī (Arabic النزاريون) are a sect of Sevener Ismā'īlī Shīˤa Islām.
The Nizāriyya differ from the Sevener Mustaˤliyya in that they believe that the successor-Imām to the Fatimid caliph al-Mustansir was his elder son an-Nizār. However, the Fatimid Regent appointed al-Mustansir's younger son al-Mustaˤlī as caliph and as a result, an-Nizār died in prison when he attempted to claim the throne by rebellion.
One (in)famous group of Nizāriyya were the "Assassins" of Alamūt under the leadership of Dāˤī Hassan as-Sabbaħ ((c. 1034-1124)).
The current Nizārī Imām is His Highness The Prince Aga Khan IV, Mowlana Shah Karim al-Hussayni Hazir Imam.
i add nizaris because they were shia and ghazis are sunni,i think i will add ghazy to abassides.
