Paperback or Softback. Condition: New. The School and Heritage of the Shi?ites of Rayy. Book.

The central idea of the book is that Rayy, like some other major Shi?i cities, possessed its own distinct intellectual tradition and scholarly school. At various times, cities such as Kufah, Qum, Baghdad, Hillah, and Najaf-and later Isfahan and Mashhad-held such a position in the history of Shi?i thought. Ray was among the earliest cities to embrace Islam; however, under the rule of the Umayyad Caliphate, it followed a Na?ibi (anti-Shi?i) orientation. Nevertheless, over time, all of its inhabitants gradually adopted Shi?ism-so much so that two centuries before the rise of the Safavid dynasty in the 16th-17th centuries, there were no non-Shi?is left in Ray.>Rasul Jafarian, born in 1964 in Isfahan, studied in the seminary of Qom in the fields of Islamic sciences and Islamic history.

He has also written several works on the history of Islamic thought in contemporary Iran.…

This book attempts to show that the Shii heritage of Rayy is substantial enough to justify referring to it as the "Shii School of Ray."
