Nur al-Dahr Ali

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Nūr al-Dahr ʿAlī (Arabic: نور الدهر علي) or Nūr al-Dīn ʿAlī (Arabic: نور الدین علي) was the 38th imam of the Qasim-Shahi branch of the Nizari Isma'ili community.[1]

Nur al-Dahr Ali succeeded his father Khalil Allah I when the latter died in March 1634, until his own death in November 1671.[1] Like his father, he resided and was buried at Anjudan, where his tombstone survives to this day.[2]

He was succeeded by his son, Khalil Allah II Ali.[3]
