The Alawite revolutions in our Islamic history have a great ideal role, both in recording historical events and whether in planting a culture of resistance and standing up in the face of tyrants and darkness, but there is still a question that arises, which is whether these Shiite revolutions were supported by the people of the House, peace be upon them, where it was Ahl al-Bayt, peace be upon them, the imams of their era and the leaders of the nation in religion and the world, because their failure to support all or some of these revolutions reveals the error of the revolutionaries and their leaders in these revolutionary movements. Therefore, we studied this question in the first period of the Abbasid rule specifically, relying on historical books that reached us, with the aim of getting acquainted with these revolutions and the intentions of their leaders first, and then knowing the position of the imams, peace be upon them, towards these revolutions secondly. Therefore, after studying the position of the Imams of the Ahl al-Bayt towards the Alawite revolutions in the first Abbasid era, we arrived at important results that can be summarized by saying that most of the revolutions that took place in this period of time were not authorized by the infallible Imam in his time, and then that the leaders of these revolutions were calling for themselves and they believed that they were Imams have the right to succeed the Muslims, and they cast themselves in front of the imams, peace be upon them, but some of them claimed that he was the promised Mahdi, and all this indicates a deviation in these revolutions, and if the opposite of darkness and the establishment of justice were some of its goals, yet it deviated from its correct path.
