ZaydÊ thought and government appeared in Gīlān and Ṭabaristān from the third century AH. Although this phenomenon became the origin of fundamental changes in the Islamic world, it did not last long and soon external and internal challenges surrounded it and caused its weakness and decline. Few researches have been studied the causes of this decline. There are some ambiguities and lack of comprehensiveness regarding those causes, which justifies the necessity of conducting a new research. This article seeks to explain the factors of the decline of religion and the Zaidian government in northern Iran. It seems that in addition to the causes presented in the previous researches, discriminatory behavior of the ZaydÊ rulers and imams; division and competition between the people of Gīlān and Daylamān, divergence of the new generations of Alavids from Islam and its customs; and regaining of power by Bāvandiya and their support for Twelvers, preaching of Twelver scholars, the lethal challenge of the Ismāʿīliyya devotees with the Zaydis; the emergence of the Muṭarrifiyya sect in Yemen, and the desire of the Zaydis of northern Iran to migrate to Yemen in order to counter it, could be  added to the list of reasons for decline

The Justanid dynasty (2nd-5th century AH) and Musafirid dynasty (4th-5th century AH) were among the first dynasties of Daylam with Shiite tendency who propagated this denomination in Daylam and Azerbaijan. Despite the role of these dynasties in the expansion of Shiism, no research has been conducted in this context yet. This paper, using descriptive-analytical method, aims to deal with the political and military roles of these dynasties in the expansion of Shiism in Daylam and Azerbaijan from the second to the fifth centuries AH. The main question of this research is: What is the role of the Justanid and Musafirid dynasties with regard to the expansion of Shiism in these areas? The findings of this research show that the kings of these dynasties, by inviting Zaydi and Ismaili preachers and missionaries to their territory, provided a suitable environment for their activities and provided political and military support to them, helping the spread of Shiism in Daylam and Azerbaijan, and some of the Shia rituals were popularized in these areas.
