The abbacy call in Yemen became weak , and degeneration as a result of Yemen political , and economical , and social division , and it's princes whom owed obedience to the abbacy people tended to compete and repulse among each other , and opposite that the Ismailia caller's activity like Mohammed al - sulayhe ( d 459 AH / 1066 AD ) and his son al - Mukaram ( d 477 AH / 1084 AD ) , and his wife al - Sayda Arwa al - Sulayhia ( d 532 AH / 1137 AD ) , Ali al - Sulayhi succeeded in establishing the Sulayhi state in al - Haraz mountain region , and by the year ( 455 AH / 1063 AD ) he was able to subjugate most of Yemen , that enabled the Ismailia call to spread publically through his kingdom , and gave back the Ismailia call it's rightful place in Yemen , which had been weak after the death of Ibn - Hushab ( d 302AH / 914 AD ) , and his sons being divided among each other , and the sermon was held on the state platform for the Fatemean , and al - sulayhi and his wife Asmaa bint - Shehab whom she supported and stood by her husband in managing the state's affairs , for her wisdom and political cleverness , despite the fact the Asmaa didn't rule but she was as the guidance rudder whom her advice never failed in leadership and politics , and Ali - Sulayhi never broke her advice when he consulted her. This family continued ruling Yemen for almost a century ( 439 - 532 AH / 1047 - 1137 AD ) , their are had new type as they united the country under one political banner , and their leverage spread from Hadramout to the south and Al - Hijas to the north , and that never happened neither in ignorance era , nor Islam , and their reign was also unique because the women ruled too just as the women of the Umayyan state ( 41 - 132 AH/ 661 - 749 AD ) , and abbasian state ( 132 - 656 AH / 749 - 1258 AD ) , and Fatemian state ( 297 - 567 AH / 909 - 1171 AD ) after suffering from weakness , disrespect , befor Al - Sulayhi rule , the society looked at her a commonwealth owned by her father , or her husband , and has no value in society , except serving her husband and having offspring, this is a result of shed tribalism , which had an obvious and an important effect on the political life , because she had no other role but the social role at home , except for some period preceded the Sulayhi reign , when the political circumstances in Al - Ziadiyah state ( 204 - 409 AH / 819 - 1018 AD ) , and Al - Najahia state ( 412 - 554 AH / 1021 - 1159 AD ) offered the opportunity for female symbols that had a leading and an active role in the political side , such as Hind Bint Abi Al - Jaish Bin Zyad who worked as a guardian for her nephew in managing the state , and Al - Sayda Al - Hura Alam surnamed by ( Aum Fatik ) who contributed in the policy of Al - Njahia state , and others. During the Sulayhi reign the women's role improved and she was able to be free from the constrains imposed on her , and she had a shared policy with men , and worked in science and knowledge , and the space opened for Yemeni woman to show her ability , after she was neglected , the role of Al - Sayada Arwa Al - Sulaihia ( 477 - 532 AH / 1084 - 1137 AD ) emerged in this position , besides some less relevant roles for some women in state , this woman who played an important role in supporting her husband king Al - Mukarm ( d 477 AH / 1084 AD ) , in managing the state affairs , and ruling by herself after his death , she was able to unit and manage the state under one banner by making reformation and achievements , and put together in her personality ,both the politics and religious leadership , the Fatemian succession didn't give the women only the politics power , but gave her religious authorities , and she was given the position of Al - Huja. by adopting the idea of al - taibia call , after the assassination of Al - Khalifa Al - Amer Bi - Ahkam Deen Allah ( 524 AH / 1129 AD ) , and in both these positions , she had a relationship with the ruling Fatemian succession , and the headquarters of the Ismailian call situated in Cairo. And for this point we chose studying " the women in Sulayhi court and their effect in the political life in yemen until the year 532 AH / 1137 AD. Al - Sayda Arwa Al - Sulayhi as a specimen ". to highlight the role of the women of al - Sulayhi court in political and ideological yemen , and to evaluate this role and it's effect on the state firstly , and to show their effect in the course of historical event in that period secondly.

The researcher attained a number of results such as : the study shows that Al - Khulafa Al - Fatemeen chose Yemen to be a center for spreading Al - Ismayli call because it's far from the center of Al - Abbasi succession in Baghdad , and the chaos and disturbance and vanishing of political unity , the circulation of Shea in Yemen which is considered the most important factor that helped Al - Ismayli imams to send their callers there , they were able to establish Ismayli state by Ibn - Hushab and Ali bin - alfadhel 270 AH / 883 AD. the study also showed that after the death of Ibn - Hushab and Ali Bin Al - Fadhel , the callers continued in spreading the call in Yemen despite the resistance movements against Al - Ismailia state. The study also proved that one of the most results achieved by king Ali Al - Sulayhi is that his state continued ruling Yemen for about a century , united after the Fatemean Khulafa in Egypt , and it also showed that the relationship between al0sulayheen and Al - Fatemeen is a strong one , and Al - Sulayhi kings represent Al - Fatemeen in Yemen , and the rest of the country like India , Amman , Ihsaa , Sanad , where the Sulayhi kings gave presents to the Fatmean Khulafa , in exchange they gave them titles , these titles increases Al - Sulayhi kings position and strengthen their image against enemies. The study showed us that king Al - Mukrm is one of the strong personalities that strengthen alsulayhi state , he showed a high capability in managing the state's affairs , specially in soling local problems when some tribes disobeyed him ant threated his state , until he was able to eliminate that disobeydance , save his mother from captivity , and take revenge from Saad Al - Ahwal. that happened thanks to the support of a number of Al - Sulahi state , the study also shows that Al - Sayda Arwa had an intelligent mentality enabled her to rule Yemen for a long time , she ruled Yemen besides her son Ali Al - Mukrm ( Abbd Al - Mustanser ) , she was able during her reign with her son to stand against the attempt of Al - Sulayhi leader Sabaa Bin - Ahmed to rule Yemen instead of Al - Mukrm , when her son died she became the actual ruler of Yemen. and nobody could stand against her , because of the support of all Yemeni people and Al - Fatemian succession , and at the end when she died , the Sulahi state vanished , because there was no one qualified to manage the state's affairs , and Al - Taibia call continued in some regions in Sanaa , and turned from public role , to secret role
