In Islamic eras, the intellectual often played a major role in strengthening the legitimacy of the ruler and statesmen in time of Islamic rules. An intellectual had a great influence on the general public, as he was the one who communicated the ruler’s policy to them and justified the state’s actions through his poetry, writings and so on. The poet and jurist Umara al-Yamanī (569 A.H / 1174 A.D) was a model for the position of the educated person towards the ruling authority, whether the political system differed with him sectarianly, such as the Fatimid Caliphate, or was similar to him – doctrinally – like with the Ayyubids.
This research aims to study the personality of the poet and jurist ‘Umārah al-Yamanīand his attitude towards the rulers. The study also aims to investigate the reason behind the differing attitudes of the poet mentioned towards the Ayyubids despite their doctrinal agreement, in contrast to his position in support of the Fatimids despite the doctrinal differences between them.
Several results were reached; the most important of which is that the relationship between the intellectual and the authority is a relationship of mutual benefits to the need of each of the two parties to the other. The study also showed the extent of the influence the poet ‘Umārah al-Yamanī had in serving the political aspirations of the Fatimid ministers. Moreover, the research showed that the relationship between him and the emerging Ayyubid Sultanate worsened due to the lack of benefits between the two parties.
The researcher also concluded that some aspects of the research need to be highlighted more by researchers in the future.
