Khurramdīnīyyah is one of the greatest religious, political and social
movements in Iran in the 9th century C.E. Although this movement is
more important than other sectarian movements of that era and there
are relatively considerable sources available about it, its true nature is
not clear, primarily due to the fact that these sources mainly speak
about it with hostility and disagreement. Moreover, these sources
present a confused picture of Khurramdīnīyyah which is sometimes
mingled with the elements from other sects of that period.
Mazdakīyyah– a heterodox sect of Sassanid period– probably exercised
a powerful influence on Khurramdīnīyyah. It has also been asserted
that the latter was the continuation of the former. In fact, after the
suppression of Mazdakism by Sassanind kings, the teachings of
Mazdak did not disappeared. On the contrary, through the efforts of his
wife and some of his followers who survived from the massacre, these
teaching lived on and secretly scattered. It is more likely that
Mazdakian teachings were revitalized under the name of
Khurramdīnīyyah more than two century later. A dualist belief in two
principles, as well as, reincarnation and transmigration are the main
doctrines which Khurramdīnīyyah promoted. Moreover an extremist
form of communal life is attributed to them, based on sharing
properties– even their spouses. The lack of a central church and exact
religious leadership and the diffusion of the believers in different parts
of Iran led Khurramdīnīyyah into dispersion. Several sub-sects, with
different names and doctrines, emerged from it, which caused a clear
confusion in accounts of Islamic sources about them.
