Abstract

The days of the rule of the Albuyeh dynasty and the way of their rule have been unique and thought-provoking in different aspects of time, place and structure., the emergence of a Shiite state with multiple centralities and considerable pervasiveness marked an important turning point., this government not only succeeded in conquering many parts of central and western Iran, but also in a relatively short time gained control of the Caliphate of Baghdad, and for the first time in the history of the Islamic Caliphate, destiny Nevertheless, in spite of such unparalleled successes, the government of Albuquerque soon lost its cohesion and maturity and was on the verge of collapse. It seems that many of the aforementioned unique and reliable features, after the complete establishment of the Buyids, over time showed their weaknesses and became a structural dilemma for the rulers of this family. These include multiple centralism, religious bigotry, especially in the caliphate of Baghdad, and ethnic and religious incoherence among the armies as the roots of the instability and eventual decline of the Buyids. In this article is made to examine and critique the main and fundamental reasons for the weakness of the political structure of the alphabet by relying on the analytical-historical method, and relying on earlier historical sources and references, and answering this basic question. How did some of the most important reasons for the rise of the Buyids become the ultimate cause of the fall of this family in a relatively short period of time?
