A Study of the Reform Movement by Imām Hosein(AS) to Protect the Noble Qur’an from Spiritual Distortion of Bani Umayah

The purpose of the present study is to analyze the reformist movement attempts by Imām Hosein (AS) to protect the Noble Qur’an from spiritual distortion of Bani Umayyah. In this regard, based on descriptive analysis and relying on the Hoseini movement’s explanation of the Qur’an, the Qur’anic documents in terms of the Umayyad movement for the spiritual distortion of the Last Miracle were evaluated. The results showed that despite revelation-based and cultural policies of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) to protect the Noble Qur’an from verbal distortion, instrumental use of the Quran has occurred in sensitive historical situations. Meanwhile, Bani Umayyah with recourse to some verses of the Qur’an about Sovereignty of Allah, has attempted to consolidate and propagate determinism to justify its legitimacy crisis. This movement faced a precise response and well-timed reaction from Seyed al-Shohadā (AS), Imām Sajjād (AS), and Hazrat Zeinab (S). By offering an accurate interpretation of the Qur’an, this achievement could protect the realm of the divine book from semantic manipulationof the Umayyads and remove the way of appropriation of the noble themes in the Last Miracle for the interest of false purposes.
