Abstract

Murvia is regarded as one of the first politico - ideologicl currents in the Lslamic world.
So far, most of the studies done on this sect have evolved
arround its concordance eith the Umayids .
The Present article treats this sect in a different light, showing its role as one of the effective factors in spreading Islam amongst a number of" Ahlo'lzimma " and points out that some of them even stood up against the Umayid agents and at times started


rebellions in defense of the converts.
