After the decline of the Fatimid dynasty in Egypt and the Sulayhid Ismaili rule, Al-Mutawakkil `Ala Allah Ahmad bin Sulayman (d. 566 AH) revolted in Yemen in the year 532 AH and managed to control the northern regions of the country. He revived Zaydism, which had been in a state of political isolation and stagnation for a century, and is known as the initiator of the second era through his political and cultural endeavors. The question is how did Al-Mutawakkil manage to revive Zaydism in the political and cultural spheres? This paper aims to evaluate the role of Al-Mutawakkil's political and cultural power by identifying the factors and obstacles to his progress, using a descriptive-analytical approach and relying on library historical resources. Some of Al-Mutawakkil's efforts include supporting Zaydi scholars, establishing peace among tribes, and reviving religious limits and rulings. It is concluded that despite the activities of the Husayniyya and the Mutrafiyah, due to the lack of solidarity among Zaydis of Sa'dah and Sana'a, tribal prejudices, the dispersion of their supporters, and the rivalry among local rulers, Al-Mutawakkil was able to authoritatively unite the northern regions of Yemen.
