‘The Fatamids and the Islamic World (915-1171[ce]).*

Nothing shows more clearly the decline in authority of the Abbasid caliphs than the rise to power of the Fatamids. For they went so far as to set themselves up as a rival Caliphate and by their propaganda did all in their power to discredit the Abbasids in Baghdad. Claming descent from the daughter of the Prophet, Fatima,** the founder of the line Ubayd Allah Sa’id, after the preparation of*** Ismaili missionaries, left Syria in 903[ce]**** and took the title of Mahdi, or Divinely Designated Leader, in 910[ce]**** at Rakkada in Tunisia.
