* Introduction to The Assassin Legends ( From The Assassin Legends: Myths of the Isma ‘ ilis, London: I.

Isma ' il Pasha ( Ismā ‘ īl Bāshā, Turkish: İsmail Paşa ), known as Ismail the Magnificent ( December 31, 1830 – March 2, 1895 ), was the Khedive of Egypt and Sudan from 1863 to 1879, when he was removed at the behest of the United Kingdom.

At Cairo, he learned mainly under the Fatimid dā ‘ ī (" missionary ") Mu ' ayyad fid-Din al-Shirazi, and became thoroughly imbued with the Shi ' a Isma ' ili doctrines of the Fatimids, and their introduction into his native country was henceforth the sole object of his life.

In January 872, Isma ‘ il ibn Musa entered Zaragoza, and was there joined by Lubb, the two of them together taking Monzon.

This left control of the family in the hands of two men, the remaining brother Isma ‘ il ibn Musa in Monzon, and Lubb's son, Muhammad ibn Lubb ibn Qasi, who is first known as a defender of Zaragoza against the emirate troops.

Hashim himself held Isma ‘ il, the son of Muhammad ibn Lubb, and he sent his captive and other gifts to Alfonso in return for his son.

The struggle for power within the Banu Qasi family came to a head in 882, when Muhammad fought, near Calahorra, a 7000-man force of his uncle Isma ‘ il ibn Musa, and Isma ‘ il ibn Fortun, a son of his uncle Fortun.

In the following internecine squabbles, Fortun's four sons were killed and Isma ‘ il ibn Musa was forced to retire to Monzon.

This resulted in a consolidated Banu Qasi powerbase around Arnedo, Borja, Calahorra and Viguera, with Isma ‘ il holding an enclave to the east, around Monzon and Lleida.

The latter was shortly challenged by Isma ‘ il ibn Musa, whose sons fought a battle with al-Tawil's troops, Musa ibn Isma ‘ il being killed and his brother Mutarrif captured.

Isma ‘ il died shortly thereafter, in 889, and al-Tawil and Muhammad ibn Lubb each took their case to emir Abd Allah for possession of Isma ‘ il's lands, the emir confirming the succession of Muhammad ibn Lubb.

Mutarrif's fate is unknown, but by 906, he had been replaced by Lubb's kinsman Muhammed ibn Isma ‘ il, son of Isma ‘ il ibn Musa, who was then assassinated.

Hoshiar and Ibrahim were the parents of Isma ' il Pasha.

Bigger changes came to Cairo under Isma ' il Pasha ( r. 1863 – 1879 ), who continued the modernization processes started by his grandfather.

Drawing inspiration from Paris, Isma ' il environs a city of maidans and wide avenues ; due to financial constraints, only some of them, in the area now composing Downtown Cairo, came to fruition.

Isma ' il also sought to modernize the city, which was merging with neighboring settlements, by establishing a public works ministry, bringing gas and lighting to the city, and opening a theater and opera house.

The city's economic centre quickly moved west toward the Nile, away from the historic Islamic Cairo section and toward the contemporary, European-style areas built by Isma ' il.

Great Britain had bought the Egyptian share from Isma ' il Pasha and was the second largest owner of the canal before the crisis.

Ayyub marched on Cairo in an attempt to drive out al-Adil, but during his absence al-Kamil's brother as-Salih Isma ' il took over Damascus, and Ayyub was taken prisoner by an-Nasir Dawud.

In Damascus, Isma ' il recognized the threat of Dawud and Ayyub against his own possessions, and turned to the crusaders for assistance.

Theobald concluded a treaty with Isma ' il, in return for territorial concessions that restored Jerusalem to Christian control, as well as much of the rest of the former kingdom, even more territory than Frederick had recovered in 1229.

The Ayyubids were still divided between Ayyub in Egypt, Isma ' il in Damascus, and Dawud in Kerak.

Isma ' il, Dawud, and al-Mansur Ibrahim of Homs went to war with Ayyub, who hired the Khwarazmians to fight for him.

External debts forced Said Pasha's successor, Isma ' il Pasha, to sell his country's share in the canal for £ 4, 000, 000 to the United Kingdom in 1875, but French shareholders still held the majority.

British and French traders invested heavily in cotton plantations and the Egyptian government of Viceroy Isma ' il took out substantial loans from European bankers and stock exchanges.

This was refuted by ibn al-Nadim ', but al-Qifti and ibn abi Usaibi ' ah confirmed that the named Mansur was indeed Mansur ibn Isma ' il who died in 365 AH ( 975 C. E .).

An important Islamic religious holiday, Eid al-Adha, commemorates Abraham's willingness ( Ibrahim ) to sacrifice his son Ishmael ( Isma ' il ) as an act of obedience to God, before God intervened to provide him with a sheep to sacrifice instead. In some cases, some believe these legends in Islamic text may have influenced later Jewish tradition.
