Stories of the Ismaili Imams: Mawlana Dhu’l-Faqar Ali

Mawlana Dhu’l-Faqar Ali (peace be upon him) was born around 1566 and succeeded to the Imamat in 1574 at just eight years old. He was known both as Khalil Allah and by his Sufi name, Dhu’l-Faqar Ali. He re-established the seat of the Imamat at Anjudan after his father, Mawlana Murad Mirza (peace be upon him), had left due to persecution by the Safavid empire. Unlike his father, Mawlana Dhu’l-Faqar Ali largely stayed aloof from political activity, although he established friendly relations with Shah Abbas I (r. 1587-1629), including marrying the Shah’s sister, Sharaf Nisa Begum. After the second Imamat in history that is known to have reached 60 years, he died in March 1634 at the age of 68. “Ali of the age, lord of the time, master of the epoch, From whose pleasure all your desires you find.” Da’i Anjudani, 16th century Ismaili da‘i and poet #ImamatDay #Ismaili
