==Legacy== After Al-Mustansir Billah, his sons [[Nizar (Fatimid Imam)|Nizar]] and Al-Musta'li both claimed the right to rule, leading to a split into the Nizari and Musta'li factions respectively. Nizar's successors eventually came to be known as the ''[[Aga Khan]]'', while Musta'li's followers eventually came to be called the ''[[Dawoodi bohra]]''. The Fatimid dynasty continued and flourished under Al-Musta'li until [[Al-Amir bi-Ahkami'l-Lah]]'s death in 1130. Leadership was then contested between [[At-Tayyib Abu'l-Qasim]], Al-Amir's two-year-old son, and [[Al-Hafiz]], Al-Amir's cousin whose supporters ([[Hafizi]]) claimed Al-Amir died without an heir. The supporters of At-Tayyib became the [[Tayyibi]] Isma'ilis. At-Tayyib's claim to the imamate was endorsed by [[Arwa al-Sulayhi]], Queen of Yemen. In 1084, Al-Mustansir had Arwa designated a ''hujjah'' (a holy, pious lady), the highest rank in the Yemeni [[Da'wah]]. Under Arwa, the ''Da'i al-Balagh'' (the imam's local representative) [[Lamak ibn Malik]] and then Yahya ibn Lamak worked for the cause of the Fatimids. After At-Tayyib's disappearance, Arwa named [[Dhu'ayb bin Musa]] the first ''[[Da'i al-Mutlaq]]'' with full authority over Tayyibi religious matters. Tayyibi Isma'ili missionaries (in about 1067 AD (460 AH)) spread their religion to India,<ref>{{cite book |title=The Tribes and Castes of Bombay |volume=1 |first=R.E. |last=Enthoven |page=199 |year=1922 |isbn=978-81-206-0630-2 |publisher=Asian Educational Services |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=FoT6gPrbTp8C&pg=PA199}}</ref><ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=2duQAAAAMAAJ ''The Bohras''], By: Asgharali Engineer, Vikas Pub.
