Sayyid ʿAlī (Arabic: سيد علي) was the 41st imam of the Qasim-Shahi branch of the Nizari Isma'ili community.[1]
Sayyid Ali succeeded his father Shah Nizar II when the latter died in September 1722.[2] Like his father, he resided at Kahak in central Persia, where he died in 1754.[3]
He was buried in his father's mausoleum in Kahak; his tomb is located in the largest of the mausoleum's chambers.[4] His son Sayyid Hasan Ali succeeded him.[5]
