List of Isma'ili missionaries

This is a list of Isma'ili missionaries.

Background

The simplified description of the hierarchy of the organization of the Ismaili da'wah was as follows:

Nāṭiq, the messenger-propher.
Waṣī, the prophet's "legatee".
Imām. The absolute head of the da'wah organization. All senior appointments had to be approved by him.
Dā'ī ad-Du'āt', "Chief Da'i"; also known as bāb 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 – "Superior Da'i", "Great Da'i"
Dā'ī – "Ordinary Da'i", "Da'i". Always acting as group, not singly; except in a very small area.
