Active role of women helpers in supporting Imams (AS) Emphasizing the Umayyad Caliphate in the first century AH (40- 95 AH)

Contrary to the Umayyad and Abbasid views, the true teachings of Islam, which have reached us through the narrations of the Infallibles (PBUH), emphasize the active presence of women in the social arena. As half of the Islamic community, Muslim women have had a high capacity for making change among the Muslim ummah. in some periods of history, They have played an active role and have tried to help God’s religion and achieve the goals set by the Imams.in the Islamic history, one of the most important periods is the era of the Umayyads gaining power until the end of the first century AH, which is the period of the Imamate of Imam Hassan, Imam Hussein and Imam Sajjad (AS). There are few reports of women helper’s efforts during this period, and little attention is paid to the role of women helpers at this time. This study seeks to answer the question of what activities the women who helped the Imams had during this period and how they supported their Imam. Women seem to have played an active role in several areas, including intellectual and doctrinal encounter, direct presence in the confrontation scene, cooperation in the retribution of Karbala’s murderers, participation in rituals and sheltering the Shiites of Ahl al-Bayt (AS). The names of some of them are recorded in history.
