مبتکر نظریه رکن رابع ایمان در شیخیه
The theorizer of the “Fourth Pillar” Theory
تخصصي تاریخ اسلام

Shaykhism is one of the youngest schools in the history of Imamiyyah (Twelver Shiism). The Theory of "Forth Pillar (Rukn-i-Rabi’)" is one of the most famous theories attributed to this school, the different branches of which do not have a common notion of it. Besides, they disagree over the person to whom the aforementioned theory could be attributed."Ahmad Al-Ahsa’i", "Sayyed Kazim Al-Rashti" and "Muhammad Karim Al-Kirmani" have been nominated to be the theorizer by different Shaykhi or non-Shaykhi scholars.<br>
This Article identifies four components in the structure of Theory:<br>
1) The literature based on Quadr-hierarchy of "God, Prophet, Imam, and perfect Shia". 2) The Hierarchy of Secret-Men (Qura-yi-Zahirah). 3) Their Unity or Multiplicity. 4) Their Duties and roles.<br>
Although the foundation of Theory could be recognized in Al-Ahsa’i’s works, by concentrating on these four components, I shall demonstrate that Sayyed Kazim Al-Rashti should be elected as the main theorizer of Theory.<br>
