The Zaidi in Iran

A scientific research seeking to present an integrated vision of the history of the Zaidi sect in Iran, Iraq, and Yemen, although the available news about this sect remains scattered and vague. The book focuses on the Iranian influence in the history of the Zaidi sect, and highlights it as being more than just a transmitter of Zaidi heritage or a link between its two poles in Iraq and Yemen, considering it an active and developing agent during dangerous stages of the history of this sect full of obstacles and incidents. The five chapters of the book and its three appendices are filled with much information about the biographies of Iranian Zaidi scholars, their writings, scientific councils, and students, and their influence in spreading the Zaidi doctrine and its cultural heritage, in Iran and beyond, especially in Yemen and among their scholars and followers. The book is characterized by a precise scientific methodology and comprehensive research tools, unaffected by sectarian fanaticism and indifferent to nationalist bias, all of which was harnessed to investigate what is most related to its original title and goal, and to document it based on available sources such as books, manuscripts, and Eastern and Western studies that addressed the Zaidi sect and its men.
