The Fatimid Caliphate reached its height under the rule of al-Hakim, known in Western history as "The Mad Caliph." Jews, Christians and Sunnis felt the harsh nature of his oppression, while a new religion developed with him as a god. But the sciences and arts also reached a peak during his reign. Al-Hakim remains a controversial, but important figure.
