The division of the Fatimid period groups were separated into two main groups, Muslims and non-Muslims. The Muslims included Sunnis and Shias, and the Non-Muslims (ḏimmī), Christians and Jews. This article will show the division of Muslims, but at the same time will discuss their religious holydays as one entity as well focusing on religious holidays of non -Muslims as a separate entity. Although the Fatimid rollers were Shia and tried to transform the Sunnis to follow their dietarians, they avoided imposing their religion on the ḏimmī. Non- Muslims filled up very high positions among state jobs –minsters, high military ranks and science and education scholars.
