In this paper we try to review the role of jofi tribe in islamic history until the end of ummayad era. An independent research has been conducted to answer the main question of the original research and the question is this “ how deep were the interdependencies of individual and tribal positions of jofi tribe in different situations and how much was this interdependency affected by ethnic, tribal and ideological orientations ? examining and analyzing different sources indicates that the history of jofi tribe , more than anything , was affected by the nobles and chiefs of this tribe and their tribal and individual positions were a function of three factors of ethnic, expedient and interest-seeking nature. The collective thinking of jofy tribe in political and military aspects , were more compatible with social system and government system and its scientific and religious position were compatible with Iraqi and shia notions. Also some of the elites of jofi played quite and important role in recording islamic sciences and social-cultural alterations of islamic society.

Abbasid caliphate's chaotic and unstable situation during the third century, AH, and the oppression and injustic of the state agents and the long geographical distance between Tabaristan and Capital of the Caliphate, provided a good opportunity for the alavids of Tabaristan to establish their own government. Alavids started ruling Tabaristan by claiming the establishment of an independent shi'ite regime that refused to fall under sovereignty of the Abbasid empire. Due to the importance of legitimacy to the survival of a government, and to the strength and stability of a political system, this descriptive-analytical research has tried to evaluate the fundamentals of legitimacy of Tabaristan Alavid dynasty using existing historical data.
The findings of this research suggests that Tabaristan Alavids unlike other governments at that time did not earn their legitimacy from the Baghdad caliphates and tried to get public legitimacy by relying on their kinship with prophet mohammad, and also by claiming of justice that is one of the basics of shi'ite faith, to strengthen the foundations of their authority and legitimacy, and were able to rule Tabaristan over half a century.

Islamic studies always had diverse motives and goals of evangelical, political, colonial and economic nature. Although, the Western approach to conducting studies and researches on Isalm, in the hope of believing in and converting to the religion, has not been taken into consideration yet. The study surveys the reasons and grounds for the conversion of the prominent Jewish Orientalist Leopold Weiss (Muhammad Asad) to the Islam with a context-based approach. This article makes an attempt to show how Muhammad asad , in the works he has published about islam , criticizes contemporary islamic Thoughts and tries to defend the ( original ) islamic thoughts on his part. Asad tried to look for a way to bring the muslims out of their descending ways and cure their backwardness and he also tried to encourage them to resist other cultures by appealing to trust muslims have among themselves.
