The rebellions and internal strife within the fatimid caliphate devastated Egypt’s food production, which caused widespread famine and starvation in Egypt. The Al-Zahir sent Coptic Christian emissaries to Constantinople to beg the emperor Constantine Romanos III for aid, the emperor obliged and shipped grain back to Alexandria in exchange for the caliph agreeing to pay for reconstruction and repair of the holy sepulchre destroyed previously by his father.

I really enjoyed this video, informative and interesting. However, one thing: it always irks me when students, lecturers, laymen etc. - studying for a few hours at a desk before they move on with their lives - strangely forget how long a period such as 250 years is: a quarter of a millennium; (in medieval times) roughly five or six generations of kin. Talking of the Fatamid rule as 'short' and the Ayyubid rule as 'swift' when speaking of a combined period of 350 is something which, although normalised, is completely absurd. I shall now return to my hole and post one comment on another video next year.

The Fatimid Caliphate is argubley the beginning of the history of the current Arabised Egypt. Building Cairo turned Egypt from a colony tossed by different empires to a centralized power and a center of culture and knowledge capable of rivaling Baghdad, Constantinople and Cordoba. Beside that Al Hakim's persecution of Christians and banning the Coptic language heavily shaped the identity of the modern Arabic Islamic Egypt. Later the Ayyubid sultanate and Mamluk sultanate which were founded on the ruins the Fatimid Caliphate toke part in the Arabization process of Egypt.

It wasn't the tolerance and inclusion of other religious groups that was the major pitfall because that's largely how the Roman Empire was able to last 1,000 years. It was the religious intolerance and persecution that made the diversity a pitfall, and once you go to such an extreme level of persecution as came by the Mad Caliph, it's almost impossible to smooth relations over again.

Historian Paul Walker writes: "Ultimately, both views of him, the mad and despotic tyrant (like Germanic and Roman despots) irrationally given to killing those around him on a whim, and the ideal supreme ruler, divinely ordained and chosen, whose every action was just and righteous, were to persist, the one among his enemies and those who rebelled against him, and the other in the hearts of true believers, who, while perhaps perplexed by events, nonetheless remained avidly loyal to him to the end." William of Tyre went so far as to claim that al-Ḥākim's destruction of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in 1009 was due to his eagerness to disprove taunts that he was a Christian born of a Christian woman. Thus he wasn't a mad king, he was called mad by his enemies becoz of jelousy....pls do some research as he is an Ismaili Imam, whose position is very high!

According to the sources that we have from Middle Ages historians the Fatimid caliphate was born in modern Algeria with the berbers kutuma tribes from the Aurès in Algeria, they convert to Islam Shiia and conquered all North Africa in the name of their Arab leader and based their capital in modern Tunisia and after in Egypt

[@varyingredbeard9827]

[@mnichols1979]

As compared to the Roman and other European empires at the time, yes they were actually tolerant. All throughout history, it's mostly been the extremist sides of religion that pushed the intolerant narrative.

[@Laodice347]

​@@mnichols1979 Yes, Europeans became very intolerant from Christianity The Romans and Hellenistic kingdoms were tolerant of other religions after their conquest, local religions survived and temples were built Only monotheists caused some problems Like the Seleucids with the Jews at some point (not always) But they had an advantageous position among the Ptolemies and Jews had been made commander of the army during the reign of Cleopatra III It was also the Ptolemies who had the Torah translated into Greek As for the Romans, they only had problems with the troublemakers, the Jews were tolerated as long as they did not pose a problem but yes the revolts were severely repressed And with Christians proselytizing, this caused their oppression which occurred and was violent at times but was greatly exaggerated by later Christian authors. The Christians were an extremely minority and survived, and when they began to influence the Eastern nobles/emperors like Theodosius II, they began to oppress the pagans and in just two centuries they managed to wipe out beliefs several thousand years old while practiced by the majority of the inhabitants of the empire And it was the same pattern every time When Christians arrived in sub-Saharan Africa or America (even if certain beliefs like human sacrifice were worse, we agree) But I think it's the Abrahamic religions in general, fatimids were tolerant but not all of North Africa and the Middle East became Muslim because they voluntarily converted even if it was less violent, let's be honest.

Fun fact:- Even though the Fatimid caliphate ended but his appointed person called Da'i is present till date . . .

It was going to be on her hands that Imām Taiyab abi al-Qasim would go into seclusion, and she would institute the office of Da'i al-Mutlaq. Syedna Zoeb bin Moosa was first to be instituted to this office, and the line of Taiyabi Dā'ĩs that began in 1132 has passed from one Dā'ī to another, continuing to the present time. One of the sect which follows these Fatimid Dā'īs is the Dawoodi Bohra dawat.

The “mad caliphate” was one who would walk amongst his people in rags and listen to their stories. He burnt the churches and then banned religion as organised religion caused tension and hatred. He then allowed religion to be practiced in private. In his time many scientific and mathematical discoveries. He was wise and always fair. He placed himself underneath the same laws as his people. As always, anytime a leader is called the mad is usually because they fought against the greedy system.

@@abc_cba that’s kind of partially true, whilst Arab immigration to Iberia did occur, many of the native Visigoths converted to Islam in the centuries following Guadalete, in the early stages of the Umayyad Emirate of Córdoba, Christian and Jewish subjects of the state outnumbered the Muslim elites and so a system was developed that was different to the rest of the Muslim world in which the non-Muslims were granted greater rights and privileges and as a result were more inclusive in Andalusian society, Jewish doctors became personal physicians of many Umayyad rulers and even rose to become ministers within their courts, the case was also similar with Christians however many did convert as they saw more opportunities of economic and societal mobility by doing so.

If it lasted longer the world wouldn't be like you know it today Most of the Muslim scientists and inventors who established many sciences in all fields were from the Fatimids, because the Fatimid caliphs encouraged science and scientists, even allowing all sects to teach their doctrines in the Al-Azhar Mosque at the expense of the state Islamic terrorism wouldn'tbe exist; because it was a caliphate that spread by calling to Allah in peace, not by the sword, as is the case with other disputes

Because, quite famously, they didn't. With multiple unrelated sources writing the same thing about them. But if you'd like something clearer: You shall continue in your madhhab (school). You shall be permitted to perform your obligations according to religious scholarship, and to gather for it in your congregational and other mosques, and to remain steadfast in the beliefs of the worthy ancestors from the Companions of the Prophet, may God be pleased with them, and those who succeeded them, the jurists of the cities who have pronounced judgements according to their madhhabs and fatwas (formal legal opinions). The call to prayer and its performance, the fasting in the month of Ramadan, the breaking of the fast and the celebration of its nights, the [payment of] the alms tax, [the performance of the] pilgrimage and the undertaking of jihad will be maintained according to the command of God and His Book and in accordance with the instruction of His Prophet… in his Sunna, and the dhimmis will be treated according to previous custom" Is found in both the works of al-Maqrizi and Imad al-Din Idris, who were of both different sects and interests. Caliph al-Mansur recognised the Sunni Madhabs as "legitimate religious and legal community" and a Sunni (Maliki) Qadi was appointed over Qayrawan as well as keeping Jafar bin al-Furat in power after taking control of Egypt. The only time there was oppression of Sunnis was under al-Hakim and even then Sunnis like ibn Haytham were willing to come and live in the Fatimid Caliphate. Ibn Yunus was the great grandson of imam Shafi and he wasn't "purged" if anything the Fatimids built observatories to help his his astronomy. Neither were killed by the Fatimids
