  The caliph al-Mustanṣir bi-llāh was the last Imam before a disastrous split divided the caliphate in two. One part of the caliphate was loyal to al-Mustanṣir bi-llāh’s older son, Nizār al-Muṣtafā li-Dīn Allāh, who later administered from Alamūt, in Iran. The other part of the caliphate was loyal to al-Mustanṣir bi-llāh’s younger son, Aḥmad al-Mustaʿlī bi-llāh, who later administered from Cairo.
