The foundation of public opinion these days is the emergence and decline of the ISIS movement. In this article, along with a charismatic reading of the emergence and decline of ISIS, the special two-sided work of charisma has been considered in terms of its accomplishments, while distinguishing it from its Muslim alternative, the spiritual saintship, the half-darkness of charisma has also been taken into consideration. The dominant approach of the existing articles is the attraction of the Prophet and the spiritual saintship in the Shiite system as a kind of charisma. If we understand the love of the saintship in the Shiite thought of charisma, then we have unwittingly accepted the necessity of the charisma's identity, its decline and its replacement after decades. The theoretical purpose of the article is to study the charisma of the charisma compared to the alternative of the spiritual saintship in the Shiite system, and its strategic goal is to examine the reason for the early decline of ISIS with the reasoning of Max Weber's theorizing, and the practical purpose is to examine the rational possibility of the emergence of an alternative to ISIS. Theoretical result of this paper, the superiority of the spiritual saintship over charisma and its most strategic and strategic finding, is the rational probability of the emergence of a quasi-ISIS movement. The research methodology is an analytical, critical paper, using library resources and the efficiency of Max Weber's theorizing, Kolakovsky and Hannah Arendt.
