Dāʿī Kiyā Buzurg-Ummīd (Persian: کیا بزرگ امید) (died 1138) was the second Isma'ili ruler of Alamut from 1124 to 1138 CE (or 518—532 AH). He was of Deylami origin[1] from the region of Rudbar.
Ruler of Alamūt
On 25 Rabīʿ II 518 (11 June 1124), a day before death of Ḥasan-e Ṣabbaḥ, Ḥasan appointed him his successor. He generally followed the policies of Ḥasan-e Ṣabbaḥ and enforced the Sharia strictly. In his early reign the Isma'ili hold was expanded in particular in Eshkevar and Taleghan.[1]
Works
The text of a bedtime prayer (دعا در هنگام خواب) in Persian attributed to Kiya Buzurg Ummid, is preserved in a manuscript of the Institute of Ismaili Studies in London.[3]
