Pioneers of Mashghara Scientific Center in Jabal Amel: A Historical Study on the Roots of the Global Clerical Movement and Clerical Connections

Abstract

The Mashghara Center and its rise are associated with the Al-Horr clerical family working in it. With their rise to the burdens of science late in the time of the global clerical movement at the Imamate, the last scientific centers of the world rose up. The study, through the methods of historical analysis and text analysis, attempts to discover the roots of Shiism in Jabal Amel and the most important theories about it, then understand the foreshadowing of the penetration of Imamate thought in Jabal Amel and the clerical centers in it before the Mashghara center to the roots of the scientific movement in Mashghara. The Mashghara Center for a legitimate religious establishment has emerged and developed. Mashghara was characterized by a news tint, in reference to the return of adhering to the news as a corrective step that was characteristic of that era.
