أبو سهل النوبختي و الوثائق المبكرة عن عصر الغيبة

Abstract EN

The absence of Imam XII "Imam Mahdi" is one of the most important issues inherent in the history of Islamic thought, and the most controversial issues in the modern era, although it is the subject of agreement between the majority of Islamic doctrines and groups, and at the same time contained other heavenly religions (Judaism and Christianity) as well as positivist religions but came up with different words and terms such as savior or Savior.

However, The Shia and Imami narrative groups in particular dealt with the topic at length and did not reach the limit of length only, but exceeded the usual frequency, because it is one of the main pillars of the forward-thinking, so it was necessary to study the topic at different angles and devote surveys and not narrative, in order to clearly understand the early Imami, in addition to a high understanding of doctrine, unless there is.

An analytical study of precise and fundamental details of Shiites in general and the early Imamate in particular.

From here we see analysis based on parts of the doctrine without taking into account the doctrine as a whole at a given time can only lead to theses founded on part of the whole.

These theses therefore risk breaking away from other aspects of the doctrine, which remain forgotten or unremarkable.

In order to gain a full understanding of the basic details of the doctrine, each of its underlying and interrelationships must be analyzed.

At the same time, it must be recognized that in these details lies the whole that must be understood before understanding its constituent elements all the dogmatic qualities, and all technical terms and ideas can be seen through these lenses, because the dogma is an attempt to give a clear and understandable expression to the Shia faith.

It is Very self-evident that the doctrines were not written in quiet periods of history but in those moments of historical intensity when the conversion was engaged by his enemies from the outside, or when his message or life was compromised from the inside.

This does not mean that the doctrine is merely a product of external forces pushing on the funeral without conflict or within it, it could be the company's doctrines even if there weren't a fad, ideas and misleading during the early centuries, even if there were no internal disagreements about the content of beliefs.

However.
