Background
editThe simplified description of the hierarchy (hudūd) of the organization of the Ismaili da'wah was as follows:[1][2][3]
- Nāṭiq (ناطق), the messenger-propher.
- Waṣī (وصي), the prophet's "legatee".
- Imām (امام). The absolute head of the da'wah organization. All senior appointments had to be approved by him.
- Dā'ī ad-Du'āt' (داعی الدعات literally "Da'i of the Da'is"), "Chief Da'i"; also known as bāb (باب, literally "gateway") in Fatimid sources. The administrative head of the organization.
- Pīr in Indian subcontinent know to be second to imam and no other position is higher than it other than imam. The appointment has to be done by imam and Pir is appointed usually from the imam's family unless title given after death
- Dā'ī kabīr (داعي كبير) -- "Superior Da'i", "Great Da'i"
- Dā'ī (داعي, literally "missionary", plural du'āt) -- "Ordinary Da'i", "Da'i". Always acting as group, not singly; except in a very small area.
See List of the Order of Assassins for examples of Nizari Ismaili Missionaries or du'āt and List of Dai of the Dawoodi Bohra or Da'i al-Mutlaq for examples of Tayyibi Isma'ilism Missionaries or du'āt.
