The Ismaili Fatimid state was established in Morocco in the year 296 AH, then it spread to Egypt in the year 358 AH, followed by parts of the Levant and other regions. Their state was doctrinal, it embraced the Ismaili doctrine, and its lords and ideologues began to shape and develop its discourse, and draw its foundations from multiple cultures, until their intellectual vision of it was formed, and it had an integrated theory of the imam and the imamate. This thought had its origins and important consequences in reading different texts, including poetry. This research deals with the origins of this discourse, then examines its manifestations in the poetry of three of the great poets of the Fatimid state of Ismailism, namely Tamim ibn al-Muizz Li Din Allah al-Fatimi, died in  374 AH, Thafer Al-Haddad, died in 259 AH, Ammara Alymene, died in 569 AH, and the effect of their discourse interpretation is evident in the portrayal of the Ismaili Imam.

Keywords: Ismaili, Imam, image, Fatimid poetry.
