Understanding intellectual basics of the Houthis or Ansar Allah in Yemen now is a necessity, because of getting power and their effective presence in the political equation in Yemen and their belonging to the Zaidiyyah School and religious commonalities with Iran. Characteristics of Shiite Houthi movement include anti-Wahhabi, anti- oppression, pro- justice and pluralistic attitudes. In this thesis, the Houthis’ theological, political and theological ideas with emphasis on the effective figures, Sayyid Allameh Badroddin al-Houthi and Sayyid Husayn al-Houthi have been studied. The Houthis are the followers of thought of Ahl-e-Bait Zaidiyyah following Jaroudiayyah. Ansar Allah ideas are introduced in three basics. First basic is Kalami basics of Ansar Allah that are about principles of Zaidiyyah, topics about Shiism such as Ahl -e- Bait, Caliphs, Sahabah and Rafezi, Islamic sects such as, Motazeleh, Zaidiyyah, Imammiyyah, Wahhabism and finally religions. The second basic is Fiqhi ideas of the Houthis that is influenced completely from Hadaviayyah school of thought and their Fiqhi ideas have been studied in worship and deals. The third basic is political thought of Ansar Allah. Ansar Allah started to fight against the enemies of Islam influenced by anti-Imperialistic approach of Imam Khomeini. They believe that the promotion of economical, cultural, political, ideological corruption is caused by Judaism and Israel’s activity. They also believe that its solution is to follow Ahl -e- Bait, return to Quranic Knowledge, Jihad and Infagh for God, having independence, non- dependence and boycotting Israel and America from the oil resources Arabic countries. From the Ansar Allah’s view point, to dominate the Holy Sanctuaries (Haramein Sharifein), deleting the exoneration of Hajj, fighting against Quranic Jihad under the pretext of terrorism are parts of activities of America in Islamic worlds and its solution is acquaintance from America and Imperialism, Muslims’ position against them and to condemn their terrorist activities.
