the Life and Theological thoughts and works of Zurarah bin Acyan

“Zaraarat ibn Ayan” was a very brilliant and influential figure that had a great position in sight of Ahl al-Bayt (Pbut). He is a significant figure in history of Islam, because of ups and downs of his life, having the experience of accompanying with Imam Baqir and Imam Sadiq (Pbut) and quoting the many traditions from Ahl al-Bayt (Pbut) especially about Kalami matters. Firstly, in this research, I have introduced shortly his family and Shiites families in Kufa and briefly addressed life of Zaraare’s ancestor in the first part. In the second chapter, I spoke about life of Zaraare and beginning of his connection to school of thought of Ahl al-Bayt (Pbut)  In the third chapter, to get familiar with his scientific and cultural personality, I have mentioned his teachers and expressed his bright characteristics in traditions. Although I have addressed the traditions quoted by Zaraare and their subject matters in this chapter. I answered this question in my thesis “do any independent works exist from Zaraare nowadays or not?”. Studding of Zaraare’s scientific ability in dealing with arguments and giving an account of his students is the last section of this chapter.  In the second part, I have addressed the most important kalami views and thoughts of Zaraare within five chapters. Because there are traditions against Zaraare, some doubts are considered against his figure. Therefore I have analyzed and criticized doubts against Zaraare in the third part.  In the fourth and last part of this thesis, I have analyzed and criticized Doubts against Zaraare from the point of view of the author of “the history of Ale Zaraare”.
