Abstract :

Abstract:The people of Greater Khorasan converted to Islam in the first half of the first century AH. At that time, Shiism had few supporters, but from the beginning of the third century, despite the authority of the Sunni Abbasid rulers, Shiism became the dominant religion of the people of Khorasan. This work began with the presence of Imam Reza and his actions. This fundamental research seeks to answer the question of how much the Imam's religious debates and his precise actions were the source of the spread of Shiism? The answer obtained after reviewing historical and analytical documents and books shows that this method of the Imam was the best model for the spread of Shiism in the face of scholars of other religions, with a precise understanding of the crises of Islamic society, looking to the future, and adopting intelligent political and cultural positions and strategies. Is. It caused non-Muslims and Muslims of other sects to become interested in Imami Shi'ism and to accept Shi'ism as their religion.
