A research on the nature and socio-political thoughts of Ikhwan-al-safa

Ikhwan-al-safa and khollan-al-wafa are some of Islamic philosophers with scientific، religious and goals and viewpoints. Their epistemology is based on Greek philosophy and Islamic principles. According to their opinions، religion was facing corruption and despotism. So، the only way to reform was the Greek philosophy. In political aspect، considering decline، corruption and decentralization in Abbasid’s state or the Islamic empire disintegration، they were against them and tried to make an integrative system according to political values of Islam. So، to study about Ikhwan-al-safa regarding the other movements and revolutionary groups، is more important. These persons that are unknown، except five، were writing and publishing some treatises about different subjects such as philosophy، ethics، politics and social knowledge in secret. These treatises are the first encyclopedia in the history of Islamic civilization.
