The opening as it read in 2020
Ali Shams al-Din ( ) was the 18th Tayyibi Isma'ili Dāʿī al-Muṭlaq in Yemen . He succeeded his brother al-Hasan Badr al-Din I in 1418, and held the post until his death in 1428, when he was succeeded by his nephew (al-Hasan's son) Idris Imad al-Din . In 1426, the Zaydi imam of Sana'a , al-Mansur Ali ( r. 1391–1436 ), captured Dhu Marmar after a siege, but allowed the Dāʿī with his family, followers, and possessions to leave the town and move to Haraz , which became the new base of the Tayyibi movement. The Tayyibis also lost a number of other fortresses to the Zaydis at this time, which were later recovered by Idris Imad al-Din. It was during his tenure that there was a major split into Sunni Bohra led by Jafar bin Khwaja, a native of Patan, Gujarat in Gujarat, India.
