AL-HAKIM -- King Of The Druze

Video Title :	AL-HAKIM -- King Of The Druze
Description :	He was born on August 14, 985 in Cairo, and was the first Fatimid Imam born on Egyptian soil. His name was al-Mansur Abu Ali, surnamed al-Hakim bi-Amrillah (He who governs by the orders of God). The Procession In 993, he was however declared as a successor of his father. On that occasion, a traditional procession to al-Azhar was used for a public proclamation in this context. Al-Hakim acceded the throne in 996 at the age of 11 years, 5 months and 6 days. The King When al-Hakim assumed Imamate and Caliphate the following morning the dignitaries assembled in the Grand Hall to await the new Caliph. Al-Mansur, wearing the diamond turban, entered the Hall and walked to the golden throne, the assembly bowing to the ground meanwhile. They greeted him with the baya as Imam and the title al-Hakim bi-Amrillah by which he was thereafter known The Love of Poetry He had a good command of Arabic tongue and a fine knowledge of poetry at an early age. Al-Hakim had skillfulness in the knowledge of poetry which no other man had in Egypt. At his court, the poets would gather to recite their poetry, while he would listen carefully and ask for the repetition of every verse which held exceptional meaning. Each of them would receive gifts of money in accordance with the quality of his works. The Pleasant Leader He appears as a pleasant man with a sense of humor, and often exchanged jokes with those to whom he spoke in the streets. Al-Hakim would frequently pause in the streets of his capital to exchange greetings or answer questions from his poor subjects. The Perfect Ruler Al- Hakim wished, above all, to be the perfect ruler; widely generous, enforcing strict good order, and absolutely just to all the people. Personally, he avoided all luxury and mounted a simple donkey for his excursions. The Sufi Al-Hakim is described as generous and brave by the chroniclers. His clothes were simple, made chiefly of wool, and chose to ride on an ass. He disliked diamond turban and wore plain white scarf. His Blue Eyes His food was simple, and that too cooked by his mother only. He was an impressive figure, tall and broad-shouldered with a powerful voice. His large eyes were dark blue and flecked with deep reddish gold.
