Description

Explore the history of the Ismailis, the second-largest Shii community in the world. This book provides a detailed biographical look at the leaders who have guided this global community, which is now settled in over 25 countries across Asia, Africa, the Middle East, Europe, and North America. As the only Muslim group to follow a living spiritual guide, the Nizari Ismaili Imam, understanding their lineage is essential for students of history and religion. This work serves as the first collection of biographies covering the entire span of Ismaili leadership. It begins with the seminal Imams of early Shii Islam and moves through the period of concealment when their identities were kept hidden from the public. The narrative continues through the era of the Imam-caliphs of the Fatimid dynasty and the Alamut period, concluding with the history of the Aga Khans. This book is a foundational resource for anyone looking to understand the historical development and the spiritual leadership that defines the Ismaili community today.
