Ismaili.NET - Heritage F.I.E.L.D.Imamate of Imam Jalaluddin Hassan - 1210-1221AD
The orthodox Muslims had responded to the doctrine of qiyama by propagating that the Ismailis had violated the Islamic Shariah. In order to avoid secular marginalization and subsequently suffer from isolation and economic hardship, Imam Jalaluddin Hassan restricted his followers in preaching the doctrine of qiyama and encouraged them instead to adopt such esoteric practices in solitude, as was common with many Sufi traditions in the past. This shift to the observance of some measure of outward conformity resulted in improved relations for the Ismailis with other sects of Islam, including the Abbasid Sunnis. The Imam, who died of poisoning, was succeeded by his only son, who at that time was at the young age of nine years (Aziz, 1974; Sadik Ali, 1997)
