Definition von khorram-dinan im Englisch Englisch wörterbuch
or Khorramiyyeh Islamic sect that flourished in the 9th-11th centuries. Though they were Muslims, some members of this sect believed in transmigration of souls and in the Zoroastrian dualism of good and evil deities. Like the Shites, they were partisans of Al in the succession of the caliphate, and they held that Islam should be led by descendants of Muhammad. They differed from the Shites in insisting that the leadership should be hereditary in the person of Ab Muslim. Claiming to be a descendant of Ab, their leader Bbak led a rebellion against the Abbsid Caliphate of Baghdad, which ended with his capture and execution in 838. The sect died out in the 11th century
