چکیده:
One of the factors for the success and development of the Ismailiyya, which led to the establishment of one of the great Islamic empires named the Fatimids in the fourth century in the Maghreb and Egypt, was the existence of a missionary organizational structure called the Da'wah organization. Throughout its existence, this organization had many functions, including efforts to establish the Fatimid government in Egypt, efforts to expand the Ismailiyya sect to the farthest parts of the world (in India and Sindh), and political, social, economic, and other functions. One of the pillars of educational institutions is its spaces. This article, by examining educational spaces, studies three issues: the goals, duties, and functions of this organization as a Fatimid educational institution. The most important centers and educational spaces of this organization are libraries, Dar al-Ulum, Dar al-Hikam, mosques, and palaces, which in this writing will address the three aforementioned issues regarding these centers.

2 Regarding these activities, Qadi Nu'man himself reports as follows: When al-Mu'izz li-Din Allah opened the doors of mercy upon the believers, he sent me books containing esoteric knowledge and commanded that as long as I am alive, I should recite them every Friday in my session room in his palace for the people.
3 After Qadi Nu'man, his two sons, Ali and Muhammad, succeeded their father in turn and, as is evident, inherited the leadership of the Da'wah from their father; because they also held the Majalis al-Hikma in the Fatimid palaces in Cairo.
6 Qadi al-Nu'man says: When Imam al-Mu'izz urged the people toward knowledge, he also bestowed a book upon me and commanded me to recite it before the believers on Fridays, in the sessions held in the palace of the Caliphate.
