Abstract :

AbstractThe victory of the fundamentalist scholars over the Akhbaris was one of the most important internal developments of Shiism in the Qajar period, which was always accompanied by political and intellectual consequences. The third wave of the news movement was started by Mirza Mohammad Akhbari. Akhbaris were permanently defeated by the fundamentalists forever. Since then, the fundamentalists have taken over the religious and political leadership of the Shiite community. Therefore, the main issue of this research, considering the position of Mirza Mohammad Akhbari in this stage of the Akhbari movement, is his role in the rise and fall of the Akhbari school during the reign of Fath Ali Shah Qajar. The theoretical framework of this research is based on the view that the reading of religion and religious sources has been formed in different periods and this has led to the emergence of different religious tendencies within the Shiite community. The findings of this study show that Mir Mohammad Akhbari approached the court of Fath Ali Shah Qajar and promoted newsmaking by relying on the power of the Shah and riding on the wave of his emotions have caused concern among fundamentalist jurists. we know that Mirza Mohammad, his sharply prophetic and anti-fundamentalist beliefs, tended to some kind of ideas related to foreign sciences, and perhaps these matters and their intellectual and religious consequences were also influential in the decision of the fundamentalists to oppose him;Keywords: Fath Ali Shah Qajar, Akhbari, Akhbari Scholars, Mirza Mohammad Akhbari
