Firdous-e-Iblees
Author : Inayathullah altamash
Description of book:
Assassins used to refer to an Islamic sect formally known as the Nizari Ismailis. Based on texts from Alamut, their grand master Hassan-ibne Sabbah tended to call his disciples Asasiyun (أساسيون, meaning “people who are faithful to the foundation [of the faith]”), but some foreign travelers misunderstood the name as deriving from the term hashish.
Often described as a secret order led by a mysterious “Old Man of the Mountain”, the Nizari Ismailis formed in the late 11th century after a split within Ismailism – a branch of Shia Islam.
The Nizaris posed a strategic threat to Sunni Seljuq authority by capturing and inhabiting several mountain fortresses throughout Persia and later Syria, under the leadership of Hassan-ibne Sabbah. Asymmetric warfare, psychological warfare, and surgical strikes were often a tactic of the assassins, drawing their opponents into submission rather than risk killing them.
