In order to meet the needs of the country's political, economic and religious development, the caliph regards the development of multidisciplinary cultural undertakings as one of the important national policies. The state has invested a lot of money to build mosques, schools, libraries, observatories, hospitals and translation institutions in the capital and major cities, and collected rare books for collection and research. The caliphate recruited talents and scholars from Baghdad and became a cultural center.

Khalifa Aziz's reign (975-996) was the heyday of Fatima dynasty. Its vast territory is almost equivalent to Abasi Khalifa in Baghdad, with one east and one west. In North Africa, Yemen, Mecca and Damascus, the name of the caliph should be mentioned in the "Hutubai" (speech) on the mosque assembly day. To be exact, during this period, the Fatima dynasty in Cairo, the post-Umayyad dynasty in Spain and the Abbas caliphate regime in Baghdad formed a three-legged pattern. It's just that the caliphate of Abbas pretends to be orthodox.

Aziz built many buildings in Cairo, such as mosques, palaces, bridges and gardens. He is a tolerant ruler. He likes reading and studying and often makes friends with some scholars. He set out to turn Azhar Mosque into an academic center and gradually transformed it into a university. He hired Islamic scholars to teach at Azhar University. This university, developed from mosque, has gradually become the academic and cultural center of Islam after long-term reform and improvement.
