Hafizites

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Hafizites are a branch of the Mustaʿlī - Ismailis . After the death of the twentieth imam of Musta'li-Ismailis, the Fatimids - Caliph al-Aamir , the official Musta'li-Da'wa recognized in Cairo , along with the majority of Musta'li-Ismaili in Egypt and Syria and some Musta'līten in Yemen , al-Hafiz , the cousin of al-Āmir , as the next Imam-Caliph, and not Abū l-Qāsim at-Taiyib (see Tayyibites ). These Mustaʿlī Ismailis were first known as Majidiyya and then as Hafiziyya or Hafizites. The Zurayids of Aden and some of the Hamdanids of Sanaa also supported the Hafizi Daʿwa. The Hafizites seem to have disappeared soon after the fall of the Fatimids in 1171.

Today's Musta'lites are all Tayyibites .
