| | Al-Hakim bi-Amr Allah - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Hakim bi-Amr Allah (literally: "Ruler by God's Command"), known as the Mad Caliph, was the sixth Fatimid Caliph in Egypt, ruling from 996 to 1021. | | | Although the church was rebuilt by Byzantine emperor Constantine IX in 1048, its destruction was remembered by Christians in Western Europe for the rest of the century. | | | His most rigorous and consistent opponent was the Abbasid caliphate in Baghdad, which sought to halt the influence of Ismailism, culminating in the Baghdad Manifesto of 1011, which claimed that the line Hakim represented did not legitimately descend from Ali. |

| | Hakim was the 6th Fatimid Caliph who became the head of the Islamic Fatimid state in 996 at the age of eleven. | | | Although Hakim’s attitude towards the emerging reform movement that later became known as ‘Druze’ is not fully discernible from available sources, he is regarded within the Druze manuscripts as the founding father of Druzism and the source of its strict unitarianism. | | | The connection between Hakim and the Druzes is best substantiated through the religious writings of Hamza, the second person associated with the Druze faith, who was appointed as a religious leader by Hakim. |

| | POLYGAMY AND THE DRUZE FAMILY IN ISRAEL |
| | [1] It thus seems that the ban on polygamy was transmitted to the Druzes from the Isma'iliyya along with the dogmatic-theological inspiration; [2] Da'a'im al-Islam and other writings by Al- Qadr al-Nu'man Ibn Muhammad (d.363/974), regarded as "the Abu Hanifa of the Shi'a," reflect the Sunnite doctrine on this question, probably by way of taqiyya. | | | The ban on polygamy is one of the salient features distinguishing the Druzes from the Muslims, whose religious law permits this form of marriage with certain well-known limitations. | | | Thus, e.g., 'Abd Allah al-Najjar notes with satisfaction that the Druzes anticipated modern reformist legislation on polygamy in Arab countries by a thousand years. |
