Al-Mustansir was born in Cairo on 16th 420 AH to Ali az-Zahir and Rasad, a black slave from Nubia. At the age of only eight months he was declared the heir of his father. His name was Abu Tamim Ma‘ad, surnamed al-Mustansir bil-Lah ("The Asker Of Victory From God"). He ascended to the Fatimid Caliphate throne year 427 AH /1036 AD at the age of 7. During the early years of his Calpihate state affairs were administered by his mother. His rule lasted for 60 years, the longest of all the caliphs, either in Eygpt or elsewhere in Islamic states. However, Fatimid power was confined to Egypt due to conquests of the Seljuki in the Levant and Norman in Sicily and Malta. Al-Mustansir was considered incapable and as such his court was dominated by military strongmen and his mother's favourite officials, while the treasury was exhausted by factional infighting.
He had constructed a special mihrab at one of the pillars in the Mosque Ahmad ibn Tulun. Atop the mihrab, his name is engraved along with the Shahada commonly recited by the public in the Fatimid era ending with the phrase 'Ali-un-Wali-ul-lah', meaning "Ali is the Custodian of God
