Imamate of Imam Aziz - 975-996AD
The twenty-one year rule of Imam Aziz marks the height of the Fatimid rule, with the empire securing regions as far as Yemen, Damascus, and Palestine to the lands bordering on the Atlantic Ocean. Espousing a culture of religious freedom of practice, the resulting peace and prosperity attracted many non-Muslims and foreigners to make their home within the perimeters of the vast empire.
