=== Islam ===
Neoplatonism and the ideas of Plotinus influenced medieval Islam as well, since the [[Mutazilite]] [[Abbasid]]s fused Greek concepts into sponsored state texts, and found great influence amongst the [[Ismaili]] [[Shia]]<ref name="halm 176">Heinz Halm, ''Shi'ism'', Columbia University Press, 2004, p. 176.</ref> and Persian philosophers as well, such as Muhammad al-Nasafi and [[Abu Yaqub Sijistani]]. By the 11th century, neoplatonism was adopted by the [[Fatimid]] state of Egypt, and taught by their [[da'i (Islam)|da'i]].<ref name="halm 176"/> Neoplatonism was brought to the Fatimid court by [[Hamid al-Din al-Kirmani]], although his teachings differed from Nasafi and Sijistani, who were more aligned with the original teachings of Plotinus.<ref name="halm 177">Heinz Halm, ''Shi'ism'', Columbia University Press, 2004, p. 177.</ref> The teachings of Kirmani in turn influenced philosophers such as [[Nasir Khusraw]] of Persia.<ref name="halm 177"/>
