چکیده:
The establishment of the Fatimid Caliphate in the Maghreb in 297 AH, although considered a political victory for the Ismailis, did not achieve success in the cultural and social spheres of the Maghreb easily. The Ismaili Da'is, by emphasizing the central role of the honorable personality, practical conduct, and their missionary methods, brought about the unparalleled success of the Ismailis in North Africa. The Da'is sought to steer conditions toward a revolutionary Shiite movement, and subsequently, with the change in the approach of the Ismaili Imams from a concealed to a manifest status and the concentration of leadership in the Maghreb, the circumstances for the success of the Da'is in establishing the Fatimid Caliphate were provided. The Da'is were the central factor in attracting a significant portion of the people of the Maghreb to the Ismaili movement, although they faced widespread opposition and were forced to moderate their religious policy in the Maghreb and adopt a policy of tolerance and forbearance, which itself became an important foundation for the success of the Ismaili Da'is.

Changing the approach of Ismaili leadership from the period of concealment to manifestation The period between the imamate of Muhammad ibn Ismail and Ubayd Allah al-Mahdi (the founder of the Fatimid state in the Maghreb) became known as the period of "Satr" (concealment), during which the connection between the people and the Ismaili Imam was established through the Hujja.
Based on this policy of religious tolerance, at the beginning of his entry into Raqqada, Abu Abdullah rejected the proposal of his brother, Abu al-Abbas, to exile those Maliki scholars who had not officially recognized the Ismaili state (Ibn Idhari, ibid: Vol. 1, pp.
