حقيقة إخوان الصفا : من التاريخ إلى الأيديولوجيا

Abstract EN

Ikhiwan Essafa are the most prolific Arab intellectual encyclopedia, but, withholding their names from the reader, and their adoption of the principle of confidentiality in their activities, raised a lot of controversy among researchers.

Therefore, knowing their truth is a fundamental and important work, so who are the Ikhwan Essafa'? What is the truth of their historical existence? And are the cognitive contents of their messages purely enlightening, or are they directed to serve further political goals? In the context of dealing with such a topic, we relied in this study on the critical analysis method, and because of the nature of the topic that combines knowledge and history, the historical approach is an inevitable work, especially when we are facing a "group" that has stirred up controversy among researchers in an unprecedented way in the history of Islamic thought.
