The Relations of Mukhtar al-Thaqafi with the Members of ahl al-Bayt and Banu Hashim

Journal Title: Mütefekkir - Year 2019, Vol 6, Issue 11

Abstract

The first century after the death of The Prophet is characterized by some important events in political and military areas and important figures who had taken part in these events. Al-Mukhtar ibn Abi Ubaydah al-Thaqafi was one of the prominent names after the Battle of Karbala. With the rhetoric of the revenge of those who were killed in the Battle of Karbala, he had almost two years of power in Kufa. Although he was not directly related to Ahl al-Bayt or Banu Hashim, he tried to gain ground in the political arena by widely expressing some of their names in his speeches. It’s observed that he was seen in the same frame with the important figures of Ahl Al-Bayt such as Ali ibn Abi Talib and Hasan ibn Ali and Husayn ibn Ali even before taking an important role in the stage of history. There are rumors indicating that he met some figures from Banu Hashim such as Ali bin Husayn, Ubeydullah b. Ali and Omar b. Ali. Although his name is mainly mentioned with Muhammad ibn al-Hanafiyyah, if his relationships with the other members of Banu Hashim and Ahl Al-Bayt evaluated separately, the political stance and aims of Mukhtar will be better understood.
