al-Amir bi-Ahkam Allah

1096 CE1130 CE · Cairo

Al-Amir bi-Ahkam Allah (1096-1130) was the tenth Fatimid caliph, who acceded as a child in 1101 and reigned until 1130. For much of his reign effective power was held by the powerful vizier al-Afdal Shahanshah and later by other officials. He was assassinated in 1130, an event that opened a new succession crisis within the Fatimid state. His death is connected in Isma'ili tradition with the emergence of the Tayyibi branch.
