The Fatimids (909-1171 A.D.) خ٤ٔٛبلُا خكلاقُا<br />

The Fatimids are traced back to `Ali bin Abi Talib and his<br />

wife, Fatimah. This state was established by `Ubaidullah Al-<br />

Mahdi in Tunisia. It witnessed 14 caliphs, and reached its<br />

utmost expansion during the era <strong>of</strong> Al-Mu`izz, who annexed<br />

North Africa to his state and sent Jauhar Al-Siqilli, his<br />

commander-in-chief, to occupy Egypt. Jauhar established Cairo<br />

which later became the state capital to which Al-Mu`izz moved<br />

and extended his influence over Syria, Lebanon and Palestine.<br />

The last caliph was Al-`Adid whose ministry was led by Salah<br />

Al-Din Al-Ayyubi, who eventually precipitated the fall <strong>of</strong> the<br />

Fatimid state. The most notable architectural and cultural<br />

achievements were the establishment <strong>of</strong> Cairo and the<br />

construction <strong>of</strong> Al-Azhar Mosque.<br />
