From the time of Imam Reza's (AS) martyrdom until the beginning of his Minor Absence, Imami Shiites faced serious intellectual, cultural, and ideological challenges made by the Abbasid government and the currents of thought attributed to it. The focused question of the present study is, what the position of the Imami Shiites was in the face of the array made by the government and its agents, and how it could maintain its identity and not be absorbed in the usual religions of that period such as Mu'tazilites and Hadith? The hypothesis is that the policy of supporting the Mu'tazilites in Mamun period paved the way for the expansion of Imami Shiites activity in the field of political thought development, but with the political domination of Turks and the ideological domination of Salafis over the Shiite Islamic Caliphate, they became more and more in political and social difficulties. Perhaps it can be said that the Imami Shiites enriched its culture in such an environment in order to preserve itself in the periods of suppression and pressure in influencing the dominant culture of the Islamic society.
