Lord of the resurrection. Epithet of the Nizari Imam 岣san (d. 1166), after whose name his followers added the formula 士al膩 dhikrihi鈥檒-sal膩m (on his mention be peace). 岣san was the first Imam in the Alamut period to declare himself openly as Imam in 1164. He proclaimed the qiyam膩t, i.e. resurrection, which as understood by its critics as a rejection of the external forms of religious practice. However, a prevailing tradition amongst the Ismailis interprets the term to mean a spiritual revelation of the truth. See q膩示im al-qiy膩ma.
