Reflection on entry fields Shia of Khuzestan early centuries of Islam

The development of Shiite thought outside of the Arabia Peninsula and Iraq has been affected by many factors, one of which was the migration of Shiites to other regions and their opposition with the Omavid and Abbasid Caliphs that precipitated this process. With regard to the entrance of Shiism into Iran, it can be said that, the thought of Shiism first of all affected the neighboring regions in Iraq. Although the Western passages of Iran were one of the main ways of entering Shiism into Iran, the provinces of Khuzestan were so important that it had become one of the main bases for the Alavis who were wanted. Because of this, Khuzestan can be considered as the entrance gate of Shiism into Iran. Studies conducted about the factors that paved the way for Shiism to enter Khuzestan show that it's strategic situation and the availability of different connecting paths to that southern parts of Iraq, which were the main bases for Shiites, made it easier for the people of Khuzestan province to travel to these regions and connect with the Shiites living there. In addition to this, the historical and social background of the region which was the reason of dissatisfaction of people with the behavior of Caliphs of that time had a deep effect on entering the Shiism thought and culture into Iran. In the meantime, the migration of Shiite tribes and the formation of Shiite governments had a profound effect on the development of Shiite.
