Fatimid - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (583 words)
The dynasty and its followers belonged to the Shīˤite branch of Islam and to a sect called the Ismā'īliyya. The dynasty was founded in 909 by ˤAbdullāh al-Mahdī Billa, who legitimised his claim through descent from the Prophet by way of the Prophet's daughter Fātima as-Zahra and her husband ˤAlī ibn-Abī-Tālib, the first Shīˤa Imām, hence the name al-Fātimiyyūn "Fatimid ". The Fatimids entered Egypt in 972, conquering the Ikhshidid dynasty and founding a new capital at al-Qāhirat "The Subduer" (modern Cairo )- a reference to the appearance of the planet Mars.
