Typology of Devine Negligent Sects in Imam Sadeq PBUH Era and the Way of Imam Dealing with Them

The present article is to re-identify various kinds of Devine Negligent extremist sects in the era of Imam Sadeq PBUH and the way of Imam dealing with them. The extremist groups in this era gradually made their scattered and primitivebeliefs coherent. One of the reasons concerning the development of extremists was the political conditions of that time so that the disagreement among Abbasid and Umayyads provided the grounds for the extremist sects to easily propagate their thoughts. During history, extremist tendencies in the Muslim’s community never vanished but the constant oppositions of Imams particularly Imam Sadeq PBUH against these trends made them insignificant to the great extent and led the Shiite thoughts to be differentiated from the beliefs of these groups. Dealing with them, Imam Sadeq PBUH tried to evade any convergence of Shiism with them through the statement of the properties of Shiite Imams as well as the introduction of extremists. The article tries to present an image from the way of Imam Sadeq PBUH dealing with these groups subsequent to the study of a variety of Devine Negligent extremists.
