Al-Isma'iliyyah intellectual origin, conflict, and survival Dar Ru'ya

Author's name: Ibrahim Al Makrami Publisher: Ru'ya for Publishing and Distribution Year of publication: 2018 Literary classification: Sects and Religions Brief about the book: This book has two main aspects, both derived from Ismaili thought. The first is related to the past, represented by a critical review of the golden phenomenon in Arab-Islamic history, through studying the Ismaili sect, relying on precise encyclopedic writing with a comprehensive and cautious approach. The second is related to the present, represented by tracing the impact left by this enlightened sect, which was pioneering in establishing a moderate, tolerant building thought. The issues discussed in the book vary between detailed historical analysis of the emergence and development of this sect, and utilizing its data to draw lessons and insights that benefit the present and lay the groundwork for a future vision... Returning to this type of literature is a necessary intellectual approach to understanding Islamic sects and groups, as many of these groups, despite centuries since their founding, still exist in our current Arab reality, and are continually invoked in contemporary intellectual and religious discussions.
