Abstract

Abstract:

This research dealt with the revolution of the martyr Abu Bakr Al-Nabulsi Al-Ramli on the Fatimid state, and on the Shiite sect in general because he believed that they changed the sect, and killed the righteous beside their claim to divinity, and the research examined his lineage, his disciples, his life, the general situation in the Levant in light of the rule of the Ubaydid state, the reasons for his revolution, and his legal fatwa permitting the fight of the Fatimids. In addition, the research shed light on his move from Nablus to Ramlla due to the Qarmatians' control over it, his escape from Ramlla to Damascus, his capture by its rulers, and his dispatch to al-Mu'izz li-Din Allah al-Ubaydid, where he was flayed alive and killed. The research examined his mosque in the city of Nablus, the date of its construction, its inscriptions, and its sabil.
