Jalālu-d-Dīn Ḥassan III, was born in 1187, son of Nūru-d-Dīn Muḥammad II, was the 25th Nizāri Ismā‘ilī Imām.
His life
Imām Jalāl al-Dīn Ḥassan invited many Sunni scholars and jurists from across Khurasan and Iraq to visit Alamut Castle, and even invited them to inspect the library and remove any books they found to be objectionable.[1]: 405 During his lifetime, he maintained friendly relations with the `Abbasid Caliph al-Nasir. An alliance with the caliph of Baghdad meant greater resources for the self-defence of not only the Nizari Ismaili state, but also the broader Muslim world.[2]: 29
