In my research, I dealt with the opposition movements in the era of the Abbasid Caliph Mutasim Bileh, their causes and consequences, and selected a number of opposition movements, including (Babak Khorami Movement, Mohammad Ibn Qasim Al-Zaidi Movement, Al-Zat Movement). Knowing the real reasons for the emergence of these movements and each of the opposing movements has causes and consequences, and in line with what was mentioned, Babak al-Khorami movement the reasons for the difficult economic and living conditions that the inhabitants of those areas suffer, in addition to Social and political factors generally summarize the benefits of a complex and complex environment as a catalyst for its overall stability. The Abbasid government and of course the result of that revolution was catastrophic, thousands of people were killed because of the power of the wars and their duration, in addition, thousands of widows were taken captive during the fall. The revolutionaries, on the other hand, took advantage of the Byzantine government and attacked the forts and fortresses on the border, exploiting the harassment of the Abbasid government. Undoubtedly, the Zaydis were one of the most hostile movements to the Abbasid government. They did not believe that legal and historical rights belonged to Muhammad alone and that the right should be returned to its owners, especially after the Abbasids used the slogan (Al-Rida is from Muhammad’s family). Therefore, the martyrdom of Imam Javad (as) was the main reason for the departure of Sahib al-Talqan, and it should be noted that the intensity and cruelty of the caliphs of Bani Abbas to create a revolution against the Alawites, in addition to the support he received from the people of Khorasan. Kurd, and the conclusion of what happened before the revolution was the escalation of the dispute between the Abbasids. Zaydiyya, and it is obvious that those revolutions helped to spread the Shiite sect, so many Shiite scholars worked quietly, cautiously and piously to facilitate the affairs of the people, and based on the above, public opinion may be opposed to the Abbasids in some places. That the revolution took place, and we have to deal with the Zat movement and its causes. The main role of the economic factor and the deterioration of their difficult living conditions, not to mention the social factor and their large numbers in poor areas, and their gathering around efficient military leadership was added to what they received from some of their close movements, as well as weakness. The successive governors who ruled Basra, in addition to Ma’mun’s delay in arriving in Baghdad, opened the roads between Basra and Baghdad and moved to a remote area that is the border of the Byzantine state and merged. And the integration of the rest of them is in the Arab society, and their end is the beginning of the end of many movements.
