The political and administrative aspects of the dhimmis in the Fatimid Caliphate

The Fatimid era was one of the most prosperous eras witnessed by the dhimmis. The Fatimids treated the Christians and Jews in a kind and caring treatment. Historians agreed that the sons of these two sects worked during the Fatimid era in a treatment that showed favoritism, and they held the most prestigious and highest positions, and occupied most of the financial positions in the state. They also assumed the ministry, and enjoyed a large portion of the policy of religious tolerance, which is something we can achieve by counting the number of churches that were built in Egypt during the Fatimid era. The Fatimid state was established in the Maghreb, where three caliphs ruled. The importance of the topic lies in explaining the important role that the dhimmis played in all administrative functions, as they assumed important administrative positions and gained a great deal of religious tolerance under the Fatimid era. And how did they take advantage of their positions and the impact on the people, whether positive or negative. As for the most important objectives of the research, it was the nature of the Fatimid Caliphate, an overview of the dhimmis, and the clarification of the political situation of the dhimmis in Egypt from the beginning of the Fatimid caliphate to its end. As for the original question, it is (What are the political and administrative aspects of the dhimmis in the Fatimid Caliphate?) The original hypothesis was that dhimmis ministers and mediators participated in the implementation of the internal and foreign policy of Egypt in the first Fatimid era, and even contributed to the formulation of these policies as the expansion of influence led Some of the ministers and mediators among them and their bias towards the Bani Mulham to the control of the state employees of the dhimmis over the government offices and other other administrative centers. The land of Egypt, the Fatimids employed expert and efficient forces in order to establish the administrative organization of their government, but because of the Sunni religion of the Muslims of Egypt, they could not rely on them to manage matters.
