A fact from Iftikhar al-Dawla appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 30 August 2007. The text of the entry was as follows: Did you know... that Iftikhar ad-Daula, Fatimid governor of Jerusalem during the siege of 1099, surrendered Jerusalem to Raymond of Saint-Gilles in the Tower of David and was then escorted out of the city with his bodyguard? A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2007/August.

Is this really his name? Maybe "title" is not the best expression, but I thought expressions like these were honorifics or descriptors. All the Buwayhids have names like that, for example, and the pattern al-Mulk and ad-Din are of course also common. Adam Bishop 18:09, 27 August 2007 (UTC) reply

It's possible, but I don't know of a source and he's never referred to as anything else. In fact few sources refer to him as anything other than the "governor of Jerusalem". -- Ian Pitchford 18:21, 27 August 2007 (UTC) reply
