Investigating the Effect of the Intellectual Foundations of the Hojjatiya Society on their Perception of the Ashura Uprising; A Case Study on the Book, the Mystery of Ashura

Abstract

The uprising of Ashura has been constantly the focus of scientific debates among various Shiite schools. The works developed in this context reflect the intellectual foundations and beliefs of the authors of these works. The current research was conducted with the aim of knowing the impact of the intellectual foundations of Hojjatiya Society on their perception of the Karbala uprising, based on the book, Mystery of Ashura, which is a work attributed to this group. The results of this research carried out through the descriptive-analytical method and based on knowledge producing systems out of the ontological and epistemological foundations accepted by the association, clarify that Hojjatiya Society has completely removed the knowledge and enlightenment of the Ashura uprising from the limit of ordinary human sciences and it does not propose anything other than accepting this part of the life of Seyyed al-Shohda (A.S) to understand the various aspects of his movement.
