The Imamiyyah Kalami Trend in the City of ‘Askar Mokram (Between the Schools of Kufah and Baghdad)

The article has been organized in order to show the Imamiyyah Kalami line in the city of ‘Askar Mokram in the time distance of the third/tenth and fourth/eleventh centuries. The main goal of this research is to know and review of the hidden and unknown layers of the history of the Imamiyyah thought in the first centuries. The main question of this research is that in what extent were the activities and role-playings of the Imami theologians on the city of ‘Askar Mokram. It seems that, among the majority of the Mu’tazilites active in the city of ‘Askar Mokram in the region of Khuzestan, there were numbers of the Imamiyyah theologians that were leading the Imamiyyah Kalami trend in that region. Although the mentioned Imami thinkers due to their mutual cooperation with the Mu’tazilites were of the same views as the Mu’tazilites, in the issue of Imamah they succeeded to some extend to change the view of the Basrah Mu’tazilites about the priority of Imam Ali (AS). Making prominent the importance of this city in the realm of Imamiyyah Kalam between the schools of Kufah and Baghdad are counted one of this research’s results.
