Abstract

The historical period of the Fatimi Cilapha is considered as one of the urgent periods in the Islamic history as three Cilaphas took place in the same time : Abbasi Cilapha in Iraq, Fatimi Cilapha in Tunisia, and Omawi in Andulis .Most historians did not pay attention to many historical events related to the Fatimi Cilapha due to the sectarian variation , and the continuous conflict with Al-Abbassi regime .

In order to know many details related with the economic and social life during the Fatimi Cilapha, we found that the globetrotter Nasir Khisrow recorded these details through his tours among the countries of the Fatimi Cilaph as he explained the means of earning living and the way the people dealt with the visitors as well as the habits and traditions of the local people . In addition, he sometimes mentions their doctrine to fill the historical  gap and to explore the economic and social ideology that was adopted by the Fatimi Cilapha to spread the Shi'a ideology as well as to unified the Islamic nation to face their enemies or to spread Islam
