Perhaps the only place, where the work of the mission ended in the establishment of an Isma'Ili principality under Fatimid sovereignty, was that farthest province of Islam, Sind.
It was possible to guess from the beginning-vowing to indications like the mention of the great idol, which could only be the idol of Multan-that the account in question referred to the mission in Sind.
In the time of al-Mu'izz there was in charge of the mission of Sind a dii'i whose views and whose conduct were utterly at variance with the Isma'Ili orthodoxy taught by the Imam and his close associates, Not only did he adopt a latitudinarian attitude towards those members of his flock who' had made a direct passage from their old religion3 to Isma'Ilism+-whorn he allowed to keep many of the un-Islamic practices of their former religion-but he even relaxed certain statutes of Islam 1 •.
" In another passage1 quoted by the 'Uyiln al-Akhbar the Qac;li al• Nu'man summarizesthe Isma'Ili achievements in Sind as follows: "The da'wa of the Ruler of the Epoch (wali al-zamiin) has emerged victoriously in Sind, his faithful followersearned glory ; his da'i there conquered the ruler of the kingdom of Sind who was a Zoroastrian, killed him and his men and destroyed the idol which they used to worship and made a mosque of the temple in which the idol used to stand.
) Isma'ili rule in Multan was brought to an end by Mahmud of Ghazna.
