geographical age, social age and also individual age. As the article
maintains, historians by considering these three elements according
to a specific historical time, could write history.

This article will study emergence of Reddeh, as one of the renegade groups that was formed after establishment of the first central government of Islam. In this period a number of different apostate groups were formed including those who claimed prophecy, those were who were against paying alms tax (zakat) and renegades. This paper will focus on this question: why did this critical situation appear soon after the establishment of a new central government? The author argues that political situation of Arabia peninsula and social norms of the region played important roles in bringing about this critical situation. The author also maintains that Abu-Bakr could succeed suppressing this political trend by using socio-political norms of the region.

Groups political behavior in all societies toward social problems is indication of their vision and mentality. Therefore, in order to analyze motives of political behavior in a society whether accommodating or opposing to political establishment , it is necessary to be aware of vision of their political groups.
This article will examine the effects of the currents of thoughts on political behavior of Kufians during 35 to 60 AH. As the article maintains, uprisings and civil wars from the late period of the Four Right-Guided Caliphs and Omayyads is manifestation of theseeffects.
The article argues that one hand encountering of the two political groups, Shi'i and Kharijites, with other currents of thoughts ( such as absolute predestination and Murji'tes), and on the other hand suppression, pressure, threat and temptation by the political establishment were the most important causes of these behavior.
