Abstract:
Independent political entities sprung from Abbassidian succession in Morocco and Egypt as Aghaliba state in Kairouan, Adarrissa in Fas, Omayyads in Andalusia and Akhishidia and Tolonia in Egypt, besides others such as those which are originated in the East (Al - Tahiryia and Al - Safaryia states) which exploited the fragility of Abbassidian state and their remoteness from this state. As a result, Fatimidian entity appeared and they rules under the doctrine of being descended from Prophet Mohammad (peace be upon him and his offspring). Their state lasted approximately two centuries spreading their influence towards east and west. It had its own features and culture contesting Abbassidian state in the Islamic world.There is no doubt that the Fatimids had reached their supreme power and glory when they moved to Egypt. They initiated special liturgies and religious services representing an important aspect of their civilization for their state and policy. One of these services is the religious one. These services are practices concerning religious traditions that had spread throughout Egypt during their ruling period. They had their own ways of celebration which included the whole classes of people at that time since these religious practices were considered as an important historical prospect and reflecting the cultural aspect of their lives and behaviors. This activity acquired an essential level of importance in comparison with the long ruling period. Thus, it is essential to pay attention to this state and its religious routine and how it originated great cultural traces. Through these religious services, one can look forward for the nature of their social life.The current work comprises an introduction and four chapters and a conclusion. The introduction is concerned with the defining the subject of investigation and mentioning the basic sources used in the thesis.Chapter one is devoted to present and explain the general religious services. Chapter two is mainly concerned with illustrating the Fatimids' emphasis on the idea of being followers to Ahl - Albeit (peace be upon them) via focusing on holding celebrations that indicate their alliance to them especially those that are continuously being held during Moharram and those that rejoice different occasions such as Eid al - Ghadeer and the declaration for Ali's alliance since this prospect is considered as the catalyst for their legislation in Succession, besides other religious festivals such as the birth of Prophet Mohammad and his daughter Fatima (peace be upon them) as well as the Imam Ali and his two sons (peace be upon them).Chapter three is mainly attributed to mention the national Egyptian festivals previous to the arrival of Fatimids to Egypt such as celebrating the Nile alliance and the gulf breaking. This chapter also explains the celebrations held by ahl - Althoma in that the Fatimidian era is seen as the golden age for them. Chapter four is a presentation of the influence of those festivals upon the Egyptian society socially, economically and culturally when poetry and prose flourished at that time.Finally, the conclusion explains the results and facts from the cultural level left after the deterioration of the fatimidian state and the emergence of Aiubians who tried hard to destroy that culture.
