The influence of the Nawbahti Family on the Development of Shiite thought

Journal Title: Turkish Journal of Shiite Studies - Year 2019, Vol 1, Issue 1

Abstract

The Nawbahtis were Iranian families who became Muslims during the Abbasid caliph Mansur and entered the service of the Abbasid caliphs. Family members have published very important works in the political, economic and social fields. It is known that this family has serious effects on the development of Shiite thought. Ismail b. Ali Nawbahtî and Abu Muhammad Nawbahtî are among the famous figures of the Nawbahtî family. Their works have been the subject of the lessons of the mutakallim. Hasan b. Ruh was the regent of the 12th Imam of the Shi'i-Imamiyya. They have translated into Arabic the works of philosophy and astronomy that have profoundly influenced Muslim thought along with their royalties. Among the members of the family, poets and poets were raised. The tendency of the Nawbahti to theological issues led to the strengthening of the Baghdad school of science. They had scientific debates on Islamic and philosophical issues with Islamic frigates, especially Mu’tezila. There have been disputes between Ibn Babeveyh and the Nawbahti family, especially on the subject of istidlal. This situation influenced the development of Shiite thought closely. The Sheikh Mufid school in Baghdad was the result of these debates and tendencies.
