The subject of the position of the imams of the Ahl al-Bayt (peace be upon them) from the People of the Book is one of the important topics in the history of the Islamic nation, as it clarifies the true and realistic principles and values ​​in the dealings of the Ahl al-Bayt (peace be upon them) through Islamic values ​​and the foundations prepared for coordinating the relationship between Muslims and the people of Islam. The other monotheistic religions that reside within the Islamic lands, especially the position of the Ahl al-Bayt (peace be upon them) and the extent of their commitment to applying the concepts of Islam with these sects, and how to confront those ideas that the People of the Book were able to some extent to spread among the segments of the Islamic community, and to protect the sons of the Islamic nation From falling into deviant and misleading ideas, as the Islamic community faced many complications and crises in several cognitive, scientific, as well as social and cultural axes, after the wise and rational leadership was excluded from the helm of governance and incompetent figures for the leadership of the Islamic world came to power.They have worked with all available means to distance and neutralize the original Islamic thought represented by the people of the House of Prophet hood (peace be upon them) by spreading ideas and fabricated hadiths, and the rabbis and priests of the Jews and Christians supported them in achieving their goals while they harbored hostility and resentment in their thoughts for the Islamic nation, as they spread their destructive ideological ideas to the Nile From the Islamic religion and the falsification of the valuable intellectual buildings of Islam and the distortion of those intellectual and cognitive buildings in all ways, means and methods, it was necessary for us to clarify and highlight the efforts of Ahl al-Bayt (peace be upon them) in defending these ideological intellectual buildings and preserving them from deviation, distortion and falsification of facts.The Ahl al-Bayt (peace be upon them) at all times have an important role in supporting the intellectual, scientific and ideological aspects and preserving religion and doctrine. They are the preservers of Sharia, the source of legislation and the Qur’an that speaks the truth. Difficult issues, and of course perhaps research and depth in the history of the Imamate line, even if it is necessary to study each imam independently and separately to arrive at facts that clarify his role in preserving Islam from manipulation and distortion. It is significant in preserving the members of the Islamic community from confusion and falling into the trap of dissolution and distortion.Here comes the researcher’s interest and the purpose of writing the research, as she tried to put a hand on the real intellectual, ideological and cultural role of the Ahl al-Bayt (peace be upon them) through their unique positions in defending the teachings of the Islamic religion from deviation and distortion, which is firmly in front of the ideas and beliefs of the People of the Book that entered Islamic history on their hand and their tireless quest to destroy the foundations of the Islamic religion and the motives that encouraged them in this aspect, and on the other hand a study of all the intellectual, cultural and ideological axes that were the issue of the issue and the positions of the people of the House of Prophecy (peace be upon them) on the one hand and the People of the Book on the other hand, and we can mention that The problem of the research is due to the scarcity of academic research in this regard, including what is related to the political situation that prevailed in the previous stage and the restriction of freedoms and thought that the country witnessed, which made researchers tend to rush into topics that do not inflame the ire of the authority and oppose its trends and they stayed away from research in any related matter The People of the House of Prophet hood (peace be upon them), and therefore the researcher followed in this study the method of investigating the narrations and hadiths narrated, analyzing them and contrasting them with what came in the Holy Qur’an and the Sunnah of the Noble Prophet E, and there is no doubt that many of the behavior of the people of the House of Prophecy (peace be upon them) are like all the sages, they have been added to it what does not have much of it either from passion and good intention, as for hostility, hate, bad intention and an organized approach.
