The Murji'ah was one of the political-intellectual groups that in the first century of Islam, by avoiding judging the beliefs and positions of the active factions in the field of politics and society, entered the arena of existence in the turbulent Muslim society. It seems that the dual function of the Murji'ah in history - compromise and confrontation with the government - and consequently the two-sided judgment about them, the duality in their thought and, better, the ambiguous nature of the word Murji'ah and its specific definition of faith, that is, the two main pillars of reference thinking go back. For this reason, the term Murji'ah has been used for a range of different intellectual and political currents and sometimes contradictions, and even in the case of Kharijites and Shiites. The central issue of the present study is what the type of confrontation and reaction of the Murji'ah difference in compromising and confronting the Umayyads was? The aim of this study is to show how the Umayyads used this dual Murji'ah approach to legitimize themselves. This research has been organized with a critical approach to previous research and with a descriptive-analytical view.

The works written in Samanid’s period in the field of history are partly the continuation of simple writing in the late second century A.H. The prose by a number of historians in the Samanid Period is artifact and the authors just tried to praise the ruler’s emirs and ministers exaggeratedly. They counted them as the right kings of time. Historiography in this period was mostly based on personal observation, and for this reason access to the documents belonging to this period is very important. The main questions of this research are as follows: what are the essential features of historiography in the Samanid’s Period? What are the strengths and weaknesses of the best historical sources in this Period? This research explains the strong and weak points of historiography in the Samanid’s Period and also tries to identify the main features of historical sources within this era. Among the important features of Islamic historiography in this Period, the cultural and civilizational attitude of historians, holistic historiography, the appearance of rationalist analytical and educational attitude, combining various sciences such as History, Geography, Astronomy, and knowledge about different science and fields can be mentioned. Some other things that we can see in the historical compilations of this period are: starting to translate (Balamy historiography), avoiding the methods of news compilation based on the principles and traditions of Hadith records and also the appearance of new methods of historiography (local history like history of Bokhara). In general, the boom of historiography and the appearance of some important historical works in the period of Samanid are achieved through a variety of factors in the realm of this Iranian Family.

There are not enough main references and contexts related to Aghkoyunlular era despite political and cultural revolution of Iran in their sovereignty in the second part of ninth century AH and whatever had been recognized until now is not published critically. The works have been compiled in the Field of Historiography in this era, which was a continuation of simple writing through late seventh century AH. Historians’ works of this era are synthetic and technical. The writers have exaggerated about the praise of Aghkoyunlular Turkmen, and they have called them the best Islamic governors of the era. The histories of this era are complementary of one another and its historiography is based on personal observations and documentaries of that era. Therefor, It is so important, so the main question of the present study is to see what the strong and weak points of Aghkoyunlulars historians works are. It is seen that the present study could determine the principles, cosmology rules, strong and weak points of Historiography of this era. Descriptive–analytical method was used in this study.
