Tāriqu l-Ḥakīm, Sixth FatimidCaliph of Egypt (called bi Amr al-Lāh "Ruler by God's Command"), disappears on a trip to the Muqattam Hills (411 A.H.). He is presumed deceased and succeeded by his son, ˤAlī az-Zāhir. However, the Druze, a reformist sect of Ismā'īlī ("Sevener") ShīˤaMuslims, believe him to have been hidden away by God until Judgment Day, when he will return as the Mahdi.
