Encyclopedic overview
Nasir Khusraw (Persian: ناصرخسرو; 1004 – between 1072–1088) was a Persian Isma'ili poet, philosopher, traveler, and missionary (da'i and later Ḥujjah of Imam al-Mustansir Billah) for the Isma'ili Fatimid Caliphate.
He was a prominent Isma'ili philosopher and theologian of the Fatimids, authoring numerous philosophical works. He is widely recognized as a poet and writer who composed his works in his native Persian language. This was an uncommon practice in the Isma'ili literature of the Fatimids, which primarily relied on Arabic.
