النزعة المذهبية و القومية للبويهيين 334 ه-447 ه 945 م-1055 م

Abstract EN

Bowayhis belong to a Persian family of shi'ite, zeidi doctrine descending of Abu Shuja; the son of Fenza Khasru and his sons who were founders of the state, namely Ali Al-hasan and Ahmed.

Their homeland is Al-Daylam of Eastern Caliphate province.

They had possessed military might as field commanders and had employed it to serve their political ambitions.

They started by exploiting their capabilities in the service of the governors of the eastern provinces that believe in the Persian national Shi'ite doctrine.

They had made are of the disturbances' in the Abbasid caliphate and its need for a power to put an end to the chaos, crises and political vacuum which had dominated that period when Ahmed bn Bowayh was invited to enter Baghdad as a rescuer in 332 AH\944 AD.

At the beginning the Bowayhis offered their services to the caliphs, but soon became oppressive ealiphs.

Thus they had initiated the first separatist movement endeavoring to build a state whose influence extended to the provinces of Ahwaz, the Mountains, the land &Faris, Iraq and Khazistan, adopting a feudal, hereditary rule so that the therd Abbasidera took the name of Bowayhi state.

The bowyhis' policy was centered on ending the Arab State to the interest of the Persian nationalism and the dominance of the shite belief over the caliphate's sunni belief of the majority of the nation .

In this way, they had contributed to dismantle the caliphate unity and that of the Islamic nation as a result of the national doctrinal conflict whose impact had lasted till the present time.
