Grounds for Zaidi’s Influences of the Mu’tazilites Theological, Political and Social Grounds

Many historians and researchers consider Zaidi’s and Mu’tazilites’ relationships so widespread that the influence of both sects is seen as the inevitable result of this relationship. The two-way communication between the two theological-political sects necessitates the existence of some of the bases. This research attempts to explore the contexts that Zaidi has been influences by Mu’tazilites’ theology. The influence of Mu’tazilites’ on Zaidi can be studied in Zaid and Vasel communication, the Mu’tazilites’ participation in Zakia’s uprising, changing the Zaidi elites’ approach from political struggles to promote Zaidi’s thoughts. From theological basis, Zaidian presence in Mu’tazilite schools led to sharing and consistency of theological principles. The protest against the ruling system’s approach, popularity of the Alawites, and participation in different issues are some of the factors that have been indicted in political approach.
