Abstract The origin of Islamic Shiite civilization is revelation, some of the goals of which are the maintenance of the perfect man and the creation of the life of Tayyabah (pure) by the society. One of the steps to achieve such goals is to establish the political rule of Islam. Based on Shi’i attitude, political leadership and intellectual leadership are interconnected. One can see the manifestation of such unity within Razavi civilization. The History of Islam is subject to a dual deviation: deviation from Imamate to the caliphate in the case of Saqifah, and then to the monarchy in the year 61 (AH) (Yazid monarchy). Years after the Leadership of Amir al-Mu'minin (A.S), the intellectual and political leaderships connected to each other at Imam Reza’s (A.S) era. Abbasid Caliphate was not legitimate. This lack of legitimacy became manifested at the time of Imam Reza (A.S). The current study seeks to answer this question: Given such deviations, how Imam Reza (A.S) could benefit from the lack of legitimacy and started to reform the political system? The results of the current study indicate that Imam Reza (A.S) made benefit from this lack of legitimacy to the most, and not only he proved the legitimacy of Imam Ali (A.S) and Aeme Athar (A.S), but also truly connected Imam Ali’s (A.S) system of ruling and Imam Hossein’s (A.S) movement to Mahdism. Therefore, in the current study, the political reforms made by Imam Reza (A.S) to return to the truth of Imamate and guardianship were considered by a descriptive-analytical approach. Such reforms could highlight the deviation of the caliphate. However, the goal addressed in this study is to highlight the development and the less prominent lines of Islamic civilization regarding the return to the path of the Imams at the time of Imam Reza (A.S), from the political philosophy point of view.

Abstract   Various interpretations have so far been presented regarding the significant event of Imam Reza's migration (Hijrat) to Iran. What is less taken into account is the civilization-building nature of this migration. According to this approach, this migration, despite its exile-like nature hiding in disguise of claims by Bani Abbas tyrants that they want to glorify Ahl-al-Bayt and return them the rule, was in fact a move towards stabilizing Shiism in Iran and creating an Islamic and Shiite civilization in the country as well as a plan to expand this profound move to other Islamic countries and eventually creating an Islamic and Shiite rule and civilization all over the world. From the Shiite point of view, this concept has a profound connection with the issue of Absence, Expectation and Advent which eventually leads to a universal apocalyptic government. This article aims to analyze Imam Reza's migration to Iran as a civilization-building event following efforts and migrations by holy prophets and Imams from an apocalyptic point of view and underline its constructive nature for the Advent of Mahdi (PBUH).

Abstract the Prophet Ibrahim (AS) is described in the Quran by various characteristics, including an ‘ascendant father and forefather’, ‘father of many descendants and nations’ and ‘having crucial invocations and invitations’. He is the prophet of several arguments and an intellectual leader, revered by many nations and religions. The Quran quotes the Prophet Ibrahim (AS) as invoking to God to bestow him with a believing seed and a truthful tongue in his generation. Surely his request is accepted.
According to the Quran and hadiths, the Prophet Ibrahim’s generation continued into the Prophet Muhammad (SAWA) and his Ahlul-Bayt (AS), including Imam Reza (AS) and the following four Imams. However, the situation of Imam Reza (AS) is unique among other Imams and his Imamate is very critical in terms of time, place and status. Same as the Prophet Ibrahim (AS), Imam Reza (AS) carries a high status in religious debates and reasoning based on innate knowledge.
