Traditionalists (Akhbarian) and their role in Shiite history

Following the dawn of Islamʹs rich and comprehensive culture, all people, especially Muslim and even non-Muslim thinkers and scholars wanted to gain knowledge about the Holy Prophet of Islam -Mohammad (PBUH) -and Shiite leadersʹ ways and applying the universal life style led by these great characters in politics, economics, social and religious aspects so to revive the Utopia of the Holy Prophet of Islam Mohammad (PBUH) era. One of the ways to reach this need is Hadith. Iranʹs unique geographical and historical position - especially in a time when Iran stands as the only country with a Shiite government - led to the formation of the Akhbarian cult. From the positive and negative results of this issue, we can refer to the gathering of various Hadith books, strengthening of this cult, and the weakening of religious rules and principles and jurisprudence. Key Words: The Science of Hadith - The Science of Religious Rules and Principles - Religious Jurisprudence - The disciples of Hadith (Akhbarian) - Jurisprudent - Clergymen -Islamic Sciences - Shiite.
