Daim al-Islam is a Mustaali Ismaili Shi'a Muslim book of hadith, meaning traditions. It narrates the sunnah of the Ismaili Imams of the Fatimid Empire.

This book is written by Sayedna Qazi Nauman. He served as Dai of four Imams (from Ismaili 11th Imam Mehdi to 14th Imam Aziz the first 4 Fatimd Caliphs of Egypt). The book emphasises what importance Islam has given to manners and etiquette along with ibadat, the worship of God, citing references of Fatemid first four Imams.

Subsequent Fatemid Imams and Ismaili Dais have relied on Daim-ul-Islam'. Their 16th Imam al-Hakim (996-1021) ordered his Dai, Harun bin Mohammed in Yemen, to give decisions in light of Daim-ul-Islam only.
