The first prospects of Al - Shaykhiya school appeared in Iraq at the beginning of the 19th century, then perfected in Iran. It grew in the womb of Al - Shia’i Al Imami Al Ithnay Ashari doctrine. It didn’t possess special trend , science or culture , it was a combination of sciences , knowledges and cultures of various fields. This was materialized in the personalities of its scientists , namely, Al - Shaykh Ahmed Al Ahsa’i , Al Sayid Kadum Al Rashti and Al Haaj Mohammad Kareem Khan Al Karmani who cameout in science boards and teaching circles in Iraq and Iran through correcting some of the Al - Imamia religious concepts setting out to many doubts that in filtrated to the doctrine beliefs in particular and Al Islam in general. Their exuberant publications reflected their intellectual genius and their active , dynamic and developing life.Al - Shaykhiya school acquired an importance that came from the deep position it occupied in the Islamic Nation actuality making it a truth imposed itself strongly on the scientific actuality. The school ideas in most of its sides are based on speculation and logic , it was built on understanding human actuality,on its scientists efforts to find a harmony between religion and the requirements of the age. It always aimed at reviving the Sunna of the prophet mohammad ( God’s Blessings and peace be upon Him and His Relatives ) , His sciences and knowledges of Al A’mma Al Ithnay Ashar from His Home(Peace Be Upon Them)reviving them , trying to increase people comprehension of the Imama case , then rising the level of Al - Shya’a Al Imami Al Ithna Asharia doctrine. So the study of Al Shaykhiya school history and take care of the status of its scientists , their ideas and views that have a considerable link with many theories of its age regarding it a circle in the series of the development phases , regarding also its developing effect on the modern intellectual scope.The study of Al - Shaykhiya school is not an easy task because of the difficulties that surrounded it among which was the talk about its birth , then the stages of its historical development , its scientific procedure , its prominent dogmas , the acquaintance of its Scientists and their opinions , and the depth and width related to these items. Efforts have been done in hope that it’ll be the first attempt to present a precise picture true views about the history of AL Shaykhiya school, and to be an effective step in correcting the wrong attitudes of the Some about this school. Then to introduce a new phase of the Islamic school history which probably be one of the brilliant phases to be considered and speculated.The study has followed a procedure based on the consideration of time sequence in presenting events. The study falls into : an introduction , four chapters and conclusion. The first chapter deals with the origins of Al - Shaykhiya school, its beginning and growth.The second chapter tackles the stages of its perfection. The third chapter clarfies its sum dogmas and Some of its scientists views.The fourth chapter concentrates on the efforts of the school scientists to strengthen and enhance its dogmas. In the conclusion , the important inferences of the study are summed up.The study depends on primary and secondary sources , particulary the publications of Al Shaykhiya school scientists whieh are given a considerable importance , as well as other various publieations belong to different historical , intellectual , religious and social attitudes. All these sources contributed effectively to achieve the study. Throughout the study , it has become clear that Al Shaykhiya , school has many bridges in common with the two school of Shiya’a : Al usuliya And Al ikhbariya as well as the field of dogmatic sources or the field of Jorisprudence practice. So the appearance of Al - Shaykhiya school was restricted by these two schools in doctrinal frame. The Al Shaykhiya school ideas and their opinions were far away from the ideas and views of the mystic school and the wise philosophers school.Then AlShaykh Ahmed Al Ihsa’i’s desire to repel the views of the two schools appeared reputing their theories which is neglected by the most sources that attributed to Al Shaykh Ahmed presenting the theory of Revealing and Aspiration which was taken by the mystic leaders and some of the wise philosophers as a base for acquiring their sciences and knowledges.After coming back to the publications and verifications of the Al Shaykhiya school scientists , it has become very clear that the informations transmitted in most sources about some of the school dogmas were far away from the historical truth , particulary in the subject of man’s resurrection in the doomsday about which the school scientists views came to be in harmony with the views of the scientists who preceded them such as : Al Shaykh Al Mufeed , Al Khqwaja Naseer Al Deen Al Tusi , the scientistAl Hilli,and the scientist Al Majlisi. As for the school overstatement about the prophet Mohammad and Al A’amma from His descendants (God’s Blessings and peace be upon them),the school scientists,in their publications, did not raise them above their ranks God Almighty bestowed them. To Prove what God has bestowed them,the school scientists relied only on what was narrated from them found in authentic sources the Fugaha’ used in their religious affairs. As for to what was attributed to Al Shaykh Ahmed Al - Ihsa’i and Al Sayid Kadum Al Rashti for their preaching campaigns about the appearance of the twelfth Imam from the prophet descendants , on the occasion of passing a thousand years of his absence, was not true because in all their publications and the publications of the other scientists they disavowed from this attribution.The preaching matter was a creation of Al Babia appeal historians who endeavered in their writings to find a foundation to the appeal of their leader Al Merza Ali Mohammad Al Shirazi.The most sources didn’t rely on Al Shaykhiya school scientists publications , instead they relied , for most of their informations , on Al Babia sources , so they didn’t reach the truth about this matter. They brought inexact informations in which truth was mixed with imagination till the appeal of Al Babia was attached to the Al Shaykhiya school particularly.
