Therefor, Kufa became highly developed with the abundance of its scientists (jurists, men of prophetic Tradition and Koran Sciences, Science of Arabic language, and even poets)as compared to the other Islamic countries. Kufa became of great importance especially when Imam Ali Bin Abi Talib (peace and blessing upon him) made it the center of the Islamic Caliphate instead of Medina .Choosing this path, Kufa had to be ready for the beginning of the dilemmas, especially the scientists for their distinguished position and great influence on the society.
