The manifesto of Baghdad was a testimony ordered by The Abbasid Caliph Al-Qadir in response to the growth of the Fatimid-supporting Ismaili sect of Islam within his borders.^[1]

Most Ismailis viewed the Fatimids as their rightful spiritual and political leaders. Threatened by a possible rebellion within his empire, the Abbasid Caliph asked esteemed scholars and jurists to issue an edict claiming that the Fatimids were not descended from Ali. With this, he intended to delegitimize the Ismaili allegiance to the rival Fatimid domain on the basis of their claimed descent.^[1] The manifesto is part of the general assertion of orthodox Sunni Muslims that the Ismailis are heretics.
