نقش ايرانيان كوفه در نهضت مختار

The Role of Persian Kufis in Mukhtarʹs Uprising

The uprising of Mukhtar Thaqafi erupted after the tragedy of ʹAshura in order to take revenge for the murder of Imam Husayn (A.S.) and the martyrs of Karbala. The Persians took part in this uprising with an indescribable zeal. Having studied this issue, the writer has concluded that the Persians, killed in thousands, stayed along by the side of Mukhtar to the moment of his martyrdom, and this comradeship was a beginning for their more active participation in the political arena of the Muslim world.
