القرامطة و ظهورهم على مسرح الأحداث و سقوطهم

Abstract EN

The prominent feature in Islamic history was the emergence of many revolutions.

Opinions differed about their motives and goals.

This difference led to the emergence of several events and points of view, and one of these events was the emergence and fall of the Qarmatians.

After the Turks took control of the affairs of the state in Iraq and the weakness of the Abbasid Caliphate and their lack of interest in the affairs of its subjects, this led to a high rate of unemployment and an increase in the number of the poor.

Which promised them to distribute lands among the population.

The owners of linguistic dictionaries did not agree on a specific interpretation of the origin of the name Qarmatians, so there were many interpretations, including what we find in al-Farahidi (Qarmata is the accuracy of writing and Qarmata is a way of walking).

The secrecy of the opposition movements makes it difficult for researchers to reach the ages of their true inception, and despite the differences of historians about the date of their appearance, most of them take the narration of al-Tabari, in which he mentions their appearance for the first time in Kufa in the year 278 AH.

For equality between people, there were many conflicts during which they first appeared in Iraq to extend after that in the Levant, al-Ahsa and Yemen.

The Qarmatians lived in the year 378 AH, as the Qarmatians had diminished their influence since about 360 AH.

Historical sources mention that they committed taboos, desecrated sanctities, spread perverted values and morals, and killed a group of Alawites.
