A Study on Shi'a Identity in the Works of Kasay

In the formative years of Islam, the Khorasan region emerged as a focal point for Iranian Shi'a due to political and social factors. The Sh’ubiya movement, which appeared in the 9th century, catalyzed the evolution of Shi'a ideology in the Khorasan region. With the establishment of the Samanian dynasty (819-1005), an independent Persian dynasty, in the early 9th century, the essence of Shi'a ideology and identity found intact expression in the literary works of poets active in the Khorasan region during the 9th and 10th centuries. One of the prominent figures representing this is Kasay. This study aims to explore the Shi‘a identity as depicted in the works of Kasay, who was active in the 10th-century Khorasan region. The research involves carefully selecting and analyzing Kasay's works that exemplify Shi'a identity, focusing on portraying the Karbala tragedy, a significant Shi’a symbol, and Imam Ali's perception. Furthermore, the study will scrutinize the themes of 'Divine Light' and 'Theory of Inheritance,' both fundamental Shi'a ideologies that permeate Kasay's works.
