Dai is someone who works on propagation and spread of Ismaili Faith. During the time of Fatimid empire, there were 12 Jazeera (Jazeera refers to province and not island). There were 12 Hujjats or Chief Dais of each Jazeera. Dai al dawat was head of them. Qazi ul Qazat, on the other hand was the head of the department of justice.
