To its credit, the Western fascination with assassins often turns into historical curiosity, with monumental research from Marshall Hodgson, Wladimir Ivanow, and Bernard Lewis. The Institute of Ismaili Studies has already dedicated two works to the topic — Farhad Daftary’s Assassin Legends and Peter Willey’s Eagle’s Nest, as well as references found in Shayesteh Ghofrani’s Ismailis in Iran, Miklós Sárközy’s The Early Nizari Ismailis and their Neighbouring Powers, and the Secondary Curriculum’s Encounters in Muslim History. Recently, the legends have taken on a renewed currency in digital media, primarily through the Assassin’s Creed video game franchise (Ubisoft, 2007 onward) and TV shows like Awakening: The Great Seljuk and Saladin: Conqueror of Jerusalem (Akli Film, 2020 and 2022 respectively) and the most recent The Assassins (Synergy, 2024).

Egyptian nationalists in the 20th century considered him the voice of the true Egyptian, while novelists and poets referred to him as the embodiment of resistance to corruption and oppression. Here to share his story is Professor Nasser Rabbat, head of the Aga Khan Program for Islamic Art and Architecture at MIT.  Professor Rabbat calls Magrizi a rebel: Maqrizi’s commentaries remind us of the importance of looking critically at our own societies and learning from history’s successes and failures - a theme that resonates across time and cultures.\n\nMagrizi left a rich legacy of writings that offer a window into the social, economic, and cultural life of the medieval Islamic world. His meticulous documentation of Cairo's history was used centuries later by the Ottomans to understand the land they had inherited. It was also appropriated by Napoleon’s teams for their monumental Description de l’Égypte, so his work became the go-to source for anyone studying the country."},{"DateTime":"2026-10-31T17:04:21Z","Date":"2026-10-31","Time":"17:04:21","TimeStamp":1793466261000,"Duration":6.42,"Theme":"The Ismaili Sounds","Program":"Tera Karam","Details":"The Ismaili presents Tera Karam, meaning ‘Your Grace,’ a song written by Taufiq Karmali for Imamat Day."},{"DateTime":"2026-10-31T17:11:03Z","Date":"2026-10-31","Time":"17:11:03","TimeStamp":1793466663000,"Duration":29.46,"Theme":"4 Chais","Program":"S1 Ep 16 - Fear of Conflict","Details":"In this episode of 4 Chais, we discuss how to navigate different types of conflict with our guests: Alnoor from USA, Sheila from UK, Adnan from Australia, and Jenna from UAE.

For hundreds of years Westerners have been fascinated by stories of the Assassins, their mysterious leader and their remote mountain stronghold at Alamut in Northern Iran. The legends first emerged in the 12th and 13th centuries, when Crusaders in Syria came into contact with the Nizari Ismailis, who, at the behest of their leader Hasan bin Sabbah (mythologized as the \"Old Man of the Mountain\"), engaged in dangerous missions to kill their enemies. Elaborated over the years, the tales culminated in Marco Polo's claim that the \"Old Man\" controlled the behaviour of his self-sacrificing devotees through the use of hashish and a secret garden of paradise. So influential were these tales that the word \"assassin\" entered European languages as a common noun meaning \"murderer\". \n\nDr Daftary addresses in detail the assassins legend created this time by Muslim polemicists aiming to discredit the Ismaili movement. As such, this episode reveals an extraordinary programme of propaganda rooted in the medieval Muslim world and medieval Europe's ignorance of this world."},{"DateTime":"2026-11-01T04:34:42Z","Date":"2026-11-01","Time":"04:34:42","TimeStamp":1793507682000,"Duration":10.1,"Theme":"The Ismaili Sounds","Program":"Ameen - A Global Prayer of Hope","Details":"Ameen - A Global Prayer of Hope featuring 25 instrumentalists and singers from around the world conveys a prayer of hope for the global Jamat."},{"DateTime":"2026-11-01T04:44:52Z","Date":"2026-11-01","Time":"04:44:52","TimeStamp":1793508292000,"Duration":11.09,"Theme":"What Ismailis Believe","Program":"The Glorious Qur'an","Details":"As part of our series What Ismailis Believe, this short film details the historical origins of the Holy Qur'an, its significance to Muslim societies, and its inspiration in our daily lives."},{"DateTime":"2026-11-01T04:56:01Z","Date":"2026-11-01","Time":"04:56:01","TimeStamp":1793508961000,"Duration":56.44,"Theme":"At the Aga Khan Museum","Program":"Asian Heritage","Details":"Explore the exchange and connectivity between different Asian cultures with The Aga Khan Museum.
