Abstract

The role of the imams of Ahl al-Bayt, peace be upon them, and their impact on the Byzantine Roman state

     The imams of Ahl al-Bayt, peace be upon them, had a fundamental and clear role in confronting the policy of the Byzantine Roman state, and this was embodied in several aspects, including the  political side. On the economic side, they urged to get rid of the pressure and threat that the Romans were doing in this aspect, and as for the intellectual side, they had the leading role in responding to the Romans, so they achieved a clear scientific and intellectual superiority over them and thwarted their plans that they wanted, so the Imams of Ahl al-Bayt were upon them. Peace is in the front line with the Romans, and the differences with some Muslim rulers did not stop them from doing this, because they put the interest of the Islamic state above all else.
