in
Publication Type  Book Review
Year of Publication  2011
Authors  Wahid M. Amin
Original Authors  Ahmad b. Ibrahim al-Naysaburi
Secondary Title  A Brief and Concise Treatise on the Code of Conduct for the Dais
Publisher  Faculty of Theology and Religion, University of Oxford
Abstract  

The importance of the current work is noted in the fact that it is ‘the only
extant work in Ismaili literature that tackles a specific aspect of the dawa: a
normative guideline for Ismaili dias’ (p. 3). Since it was written by a member of
the Fatimid dawa, the Risala is without question a crucial eyewitness of how the
dawa was self-conceived.
