This faction which founded by Muhammad Ibnabd Al-wahhab in Najd and expanded after making an alliance with Muhammad Ibn Saud has had a long and specific history. In that context, several contacts between religious and political sides of Saudi government have been attractive for researchers on wahhabism. Religious side needs protection of political side, and political side needs religious side for legitimization and acceptability for their actions. On that basis, a large group of religious scholars and Ibnabd al-wahhab’s followers and pupils took charge in adjustment of contacts between political and religious sides. That group which named by their voluntary action as “Muttawwia”, has been sent to conquered areas for call of Wahhabism. Despite of the ups and downs of Mutawwia’s role in history of Wahhabism, they had a great impact on emergence and stabilization of Saudi governments. This research studied their role in contacts between political and religious sides in the context of Saudi-Wahhabi rule in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.Emergence of Wahhabi thought as an important phenomenon in modern Islamic history, had a great impact on political and religious evolutions of Middle East.

This era can be divided into three periods of approximately equal length. The first was a period of transition from Timurid Herat to Safavid Tabriz. The second period, which coincided with the first years of the reign of Tahmasp and his interest in art of the book, was the period of rgularization of some scripts, specially nasta’liq and its use for a copy of Quran for the first time. In the third period, which coincided with the Tahmasp repentance and his withdrawal from painting, calligraphy continued its artistic life. Calligraphy in this era had two specific functions. First was artistic function and second was an administrative use. The aim of this essay is the survey of evolutions of calligraphy, various kinds of scripts used by safavid calligraphers, the role of patrons, eminent nasta’liq calligraphers and their social status in the early safavid period.Beginning of the SafavidEmpire, ie, the reign of Ismail and Tahmasp was the era of prosperity and development of calligraphy in Iran.

Constant interference and constraints imposed by the Russian government upon Romania, during this time, resulted in formation and establishment of a Communist Institution in the country. The Communist reign in Romania lasted forty four years from 1945 to 1989. The hostility of the Communist government towards different religions and belief systems caused many adversities not only to the Muslim minority but also the Christian majority. Political pressure from the Communist government focused mainly on forcing the Christian majority as well as the Muslim minority to renounce religion and/or discard any form of belief system. The main question is to identify the effects of political changes in Romania and the Communist reign on Muslim Romanians. How were the Muslim Romanians able to guard their religious identity amid adversities caused by Communism?

According to historical evidences, the opposition between school of Hisham ibn al-Hakam and majority of Shia, which was school of Hisham ibn Salim al-Javalighi, was the most significant Shiite oppositon in second century. This opposition continued until the third century, and continued its role as the main dipole for the formation of internal Shiite currents. Iraqi Hadith legacy was transmitted to Iran, and the opposition between school of Hisham ibn al-Hakam and majority of Shia took the form of the opposition between majority of Iranian Shia (in Qom and Samarqand )and the circle of Fadl ibn Shazan (in Neyshapur).Like other religions, there are various currents in Imami Shiite in the first centuries.
