Title
Walayah in the Fatimid Isma'ili Tradition,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
In this original study, Elizabeth R. Alexandrin examines the complex relationships that can be inscribed between medieval Isma'ili thought as an intellectual tradition with a devotional practice of reliance on the imam, and as a politicoesoteric system that redefined governance during the Fa?imid caliphate in the eleventh century. Alexandrin's work is a departure from recent Western scholarship that focuses on similarities among early Islamic traditions. She argues instead that, under the guidance of the Fa?imid Isma'ili chief missionary alMu'ayyad fi alDin alShirazi (d. 1078 CE), the concept of walayah (divine guidance) became closely associated with religiopolitical authority, on the one hand, and the perfection of the individual human being, on the other. By signaling and affirming how the Fa?imid caliphimams were the heirs of walayah and by proposing new definitions of the "seal of God's friends" (khatim alawliya' Allah), al Mu'ayyad broadened the contexts of making esoteric knowledge public and shifted the apocalyptic frameworks of Islamic messianism.
