When he returned to Yemen, he brought some of the Fatimids' Isma'ili literature with him, which indirectly led to its survival of the Ayyubid destruction of Isma'ili manuscripts after they conquered Egypt. According to Abbas Hamdani, Lamak was responsible for introducing the split between political and religious authority in Sulayhid Yemen after Ali al-Sulayhi's death. Al-Mukarram inherited the status of da‘i from his father along with the monarchy but in practice it was Lamak who carried out these duties, and he had been appointed da‘i himself by al-Mustansir.
