The dissident Qarmatis did not acknowledge the Imamate of `Abd Allah al-Mahdi (the future founder of the Fatimid caliphate) and his predecessors, the central leaders of early Ismailism, as well as his successors in the Fatimid dynasty. In the same eventful year 286/899, the Qarmatis founded a powerful state of their own in Bahrayn, which survived in rivalry with the Fatimid state until 470/1077.-- Daftary, Farhadhttp://www.amaana.org/articles/Ismailidawa.htm#IsmailiTRANSCRIPT
