Описание: Qarmatians — Rise & Fall of the Early Qarmatian Movement (9th-Century Iraq)
Discover the story of the Qarmatians: a 9th-century Ismaili splinter group centered in Kufa that rose under Hamdan al-Qarmat, clashed with the central Ismaili dāʿwa in Salamia, and launched violent uprisings led later by Zikrawayh. This video explains the origins (Mubarakiyya belief in the Mahdism of Imam Muhammad bin Ismail), the conversion by Hussain al-Ahwazi, the schism after contact with Imam al-Mahdi (286/899), key events in Syria and Salamia (289–290/901–902), and the final defeat by Abbasid forces (294/906).

What you’ll learn:
• Who the Qarmatians were and why they split from official Ismailism.
• Key leaders: Hamdan al-Qarmat, Abdan bin al-Rabit, Zikrawayh and his sons.
• Major events: conversions, the Salamia incident, Syrian campaigns, looting of Salamia, and Abbasid counter-attacks.
