The Fatimid Caliphate was the second caliphate, an Islamic state regarded as succeeding the prophet Muhammad.[1] It was established in 909 CE after a mass proliferation of doctrine espoused by the Isma'ilis, a subsect of Shia Islam.[2]
The caliphate collapsed in the late 12th century with the rise of the Sunni ruler Nur al-Din, who commanded his general Shirkuh to enter Egypt and reinstall the deposed Governor of Qus Shawar to his position as vizier. In 1169, after Shirkuh beat back another Crusader incursion, he had Shawar murdered with Caliph Al-Adid's approval, then appointed himself as vizier. However, with his sudden death two months later, the position fell to his nephew Saladin, who was staunchly pro-Sunni. In September 1171, he deposed al-Adid and founded the Ayyubid dynasty.[1]
