Cultural Conditions in Fatimid Egypt (358–567 AH / 969–1171 CE)

Abstract

The Fatimid Caliphate in Egypt lasted for more than two centuries (318-567 AH), during which the Fatimids were concerned with science and intellectual culture that served their Shiite doctrine, through the Al-Azhar Mosque at that time, which was a destination for scholars. In this study, I used the narrative-historical approach subject to analysis, and this study was divided into three axes, which are: 1/ Centers for disseminating scientific culture. 2/ The most famous scholars and historians. 3/ The most important sciences that were taught by the Fatimids. The study reached several results that will be mentioned in the conclusion of the research.
