Abstract :

AbstractUsing descriptive-analytical research method and with the help of reliable historical sources, this research has raised the question: to what extent and how were the Qarmatians able to establish social equality among the masses? In answer to this question, it should be said that the ideological approach of some scholars and the neglect of the various dimensions of the Qaramat movement have led to the ignorance of the fact that only in a part of the Qarmatians' activity did egalitarian thought come to the fore in a limited way. And the extremism and secondary inefficiency of Qaramata and the destruction of their image in the Islamic world prevented the implementation of a policy of social equality on a large scale. In fact, the misconceptions of Islam scholars about the democratizing aspect of the Qarmatian society are based on the notion that it has raised the issue of taste and assimilation and, in general, a lack of sufficient and deep understanding of the Qaramteh dissident movement.
