Analyzing the obstacles to the establishment of a stable Zaidiyyah government in Yemen by Abul-Fath Daylami (444 AH)

Abu al-Fath al-Nasir al-Daylami, one of the descendants of Imam Hassan (A.S.) as Imam Zaidiyyah, revolted in Daylam, but for some reason, he migrated to Yemen and succeeded in inviting the people of Yemen to revolt in the year 430 of the lunar year. He conquered the cities of Saada and Sana'a and spread the Zaidi religion there. This research seeks to answer the question: What were the obstacles and challenges faced by Abu al-Fath al-Nasser al-Daylami to form a stable government based on the Zaidi Shia religion in Yemen? This article aims to evaluate the activities and actions of Abu al-Fath Daylami among the Yemeni tribes and to analyze and find the obstacles and problems of the formation of the Zaidiyya government. In this research, with a descriptive and analytical approach, using library sources, the political history of Zaidiyyah in Yemen will be investigated, during which the causes of the failure of Abu al-Fath's uprising will be analyzed. Investigations showed that Abu al-Fath as a Zaidi imam was able to start his call with the support of the Yemeni tribes and quickly capture Saada and Sana'a. Still, there were obstacles such as differences within the Zaidi between the emirs and rulers, numerous battles and the erosion of the military force, and lack of cohesion. Tribes and the emergence of Ismaili Sulayhides caused the defeat of Abu al-Fath's uprising.
