520 8  How can religion transform a society? This book 
       investigates the ways in which a medieval Islamic movement
       harnessed Quranic visions of utopia to construct one of 
       the most brilliant and lasting empires in Islamic history 
       (979-1171). The Fatimids' apocalyptic vision of their 
       central place in an imminent utopia played a critical role
       in transfiguring the intellectual and political terrains 
       of North Africa in the early tenth century. Yet the 
       realities that they faced on the ground often challenged 
       their status as the custodians of a pristine Islam at the 
       end of time. Through a detailed examination of some of the
       structural features of the Fatimid revolution, as well as 
       early works of ta'wil, or symbolic interpretation, Jamel 
       Velji illustrates how the Fatimids conceived of their 
       mission as one that would bring about an imminent utopia. 
       He then examines how the Fatimids reinterpreted their 
       place in history when the expected end never materialised.
       The book ends with an extensive discussion of another 
       apocalyptic event linked to a Fatimid lineage: the Nizari 
       Ismaili declaration of the end of time on August 8, 1164. 
       This is the first volume in our new series, Edinburgh 
       Studies in Islamic Apocalypticism and Eschatology, edited 
       by David Cook and Christian Lange.
