ad-Darzī

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

ad-Darzī ( Arabic الدرزي, DMG ad-Darzī ; Persian درزي; died around 1019) from Bukhara was an Ismailitscher Dāʿī (missionary) of Turkish or Persian origin. The name means "the tailor" in Persian.

In 1017 or 1018 he came with his teacher Hamza ibn ʿAlī from Persia to Cairo in Egypt . Darazī was the first to publicly declare the divinity of the caliph al-Hakim (al-Hakim bi-Amr Allah, 985-1021), the 6th Fatimid caliph . He is considered to be one of the founders of the Druze religion . After him, the followers of the movement were known as Darzīya or Durūz (Darzīs), from which their name Druze comes. In the literature critical of the Druze he is mentioned as apostate and mulhid .
