A historical academic study concluded that the Twelver Shia Muslims in the Levant played an important and major role in standing up to the Crusader invasion of Islamic countries, in the seventh century AH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The study was presented by researcher Haider Jaber Kadhim, to obtain a master’s degree from the Department of History, Faculty of Education for Human Sciences at the University of Karbala.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kadhim said in an interview with Shia Waves News Agency: “The academic study was titled (The Position of the Twelver Shias in the Levant towards the Crusades).”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He added, “Through serious research, I reached several results, most notably that the Twelver Shia majority in the Levant had a large and important presence in standing up to the Crusader invasion in several fields.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He explained that “the Shias represented two important sides, the political side represented by the ruling authority in Tripoli, while the second side was the social and religious side represented by scholars such as the Al Zahra Al-Halabeen and Al-Khashab.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This study dealt with the reality of the Islamic society and the Crusaders prior to the Crusades, which included studying the reality in which the Islamic society was living and clarifying the concept of Shias in general, and the Twelver Imam sect in particular, in addition to mentioning some of the Twelver scholars who preceded the research period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The researcher also touched on the historical establishment of the Shias in the Levant, as well as the position of Tripoli, which was under the Shia Fatimid rule, against the Crusader occupation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
