Farhad Daftary and Ismaili Studies

Ismailis constitute the second-largest Shia Muslim community globally, following the Twelver Shias. With a rich and eventful history dating back to the early years of Islam, Ismailis emerged during a period when different Muslim communities were formulating their distinct doctrinal stances. Presently, Ismailis can be found across more than thirty countries spanning the Middle East, Asia, Africa, Europe, and North America.

Dr. Farhad Daftary, a renowned scholar and expert, has authored numerous works delving into the history and beliefs of Ismailism. This particular work focuses on his distinctive approach to the study of Ismailism.
