Abstract

Objectives: This study investigates the political relationship between the Mamluk authorities and Imamate Shiites. It also aims to shed light on the influence of Faqih  Muhammad Jamaluddin al-Makki al-Amili’s political thought on this relationship, on the one hand, and Imamate Shiism, on the other.

Methods: The study relies on the analytical-historical method to show the nature, evolution, fate, influences, and evaluation of Ibn Makki’s movement. As a result, it utilizes several (both Sunni and Shiite) narratives of the movement. More importantly, it analyzes, critiques, and evaluates such narratives.

Results: The study shows that the Mamluk state played a significant role in creating several impediments in the face of Ibn Makki’s movement that eventually led to its suppression. The study also shows that the state strongly dealt with the movements of Imamate Shiism, but that did not lessen its impact on Imamate Shiism.

Conclusions: The study concludes that despite the Mamluk state’s crackdown on Ibn Makki’s movement, the movement significantly contributed to the establishment, political evolution, and independence of Imamate Shiism and to laying the foundations for the Guardianship of the Islamic Jurist (Wilāyat al-Faqīh).
