Mazdakian’s Movments after Islam (Sanbadie, Babakie and Abu Moslemie)

Mazdak movement which had begun around 454 AD, failed in the year 524 AD due to the lack of regulations and political knowledge with blatant genocide and hopes were dashed. Therefore, Mazdak was killed. However, Iranian nation was awakened from the slumber of ignorance and the seeds of revolution against oppression and despotism were scattered. The present study is the outcome of an effort aimed at representing the development of Masdakism as a part of the vast historical scene of Iran. Mazdak’s thought was formed amidst the economic and social conditions as well as different concrete and mental situations during Sassanian era, paved its way to the post-Islamic times after passing by the oppressive currents, crises and interregnum, and somehow influenced the liberation movements of Iran against hegemonies and mammonish Umayyad and Abbasid Caliphates by wearing different masks. It is fairly apparent in the research that the reflection of Mazdak movement continued to the Islamic time against mammonish elements together with Umayyad, and especially Abbasid, exploiters and had a considerable effect on weakening their powers. The goal of all the movements analyzed in this study was to attain justice and equality which was deprived by the ruling powers of those times through their cruel tyranny. Contemporaneous writers and historians distorted Mazdaki teachings in favor of their cruel masters to be remained as invalid documents, as it has been customary, and be used by the next generations in a way that the essence of these revolutionary movements not to be revealed. But, today, deep researches of the scholars specialized in Iran studies have removed the veils of ambiguity and revealed the truth of these revolutionary movements, in a fair minded manner.
