Abstract :

The Marjeeh Sect is one of the Islamic sects that first came into being by not judging the Companions of the Prophet (PBUH). Although at the beginning the policy of this sect was to avoid judgment about people and as a result to avoid political controversies, but with the spread of Arjaa's teachings among Muslims and the great popularity of it, the said sect also entered into political conflicts. The Umayyad caliphs made good use of Marjee's tolerant view, which sought to establish peace among Muslims. Because the theoreticians of this sect considered it right to reconcile and get along with the Umayyads. Since the Umayyad caliphs are Muslims, committing a crime does not remove them from the circle of Muslims, and uprising against them is not permissible. Although in many cases this sect acted as a supporter and ideological supporter of the Umayyad government, in some cases religious leaders have stood in front of the Umayyad government relying on the teachings of this sect. The question of the present research is, what was the encounter with the Umayyads in the eastern lands of the Caliphate? It is assumed that the groups of the reference did not reflect their Arabist policies and unfair discriminations and started to fight against it. The current research is organized by relying on historical sources and descriptive and analytical methods.
