The Study of The Conduct of Imam Reza (PBUH) Concerning Extremism

The issue of extremism would be a corruption opening its way among Shiites, like the other Islamic and non-Islamic groups, so that it led some people astray. The ideas of Shiite extremists were not of particular order and coherence; however, they were on the basis of the divinity for the prophet and also the divinity and prophecy for the infallible Imams. The principle of unity was the major purpose of extremists; hence, considering the importance of the issue, the Shiite Imams severely confronted with the extremism and rejected the extremists’ thought and speech in various ways. In this regard, Imam Reza (PBUH) strictly encountered with extremists and they were cursed and excluded. The present writing has to do with the investigation of Imam Reza’s positions as well as the statement of some of the thought, speech and conduct of the extremists.
