Part 2: An excerpt from 'A Code of Conduct—A Treatise of the Etiquette of the Fatimid Ismaili Mission'
In 'al-Risāla al-mūjaza al-kāfiya fī of Ahmad b.Ibrāhīm al-Naysbūrī has written the following gem:

"[§30] Governance of the community involves supporting the administration of the person who is their leader in matters of the welfare of this life and of their salvation, who educates them in the discipline of communal laws, keeps them from reprehensible and illicit actions, promotes the virtues, rewards those who do good and punishes those who do evil. It is he who is responsible for the well-being of their religion. A person who is not good in the governance of the individual, the family and the community is not fit for the da'wa."
