Tārīkh-i Shī'ah dar Lubnān (Jild-i Duvvum: Kūch-i Ijbārī-yi Shī'ayān az Jabal-i Lubnān): Persiska (Farsi) 1402

The Shiite historical experience has been removed from the Lebanese national narrative, and contemporary Christian historians, whose sole purpose is to present events, have omitted the lives of Shiite holy figures from the details of Lebanese history. The classical Lebanese government system was thus the product of the imagination of Christian theorists; it must be said that the Druze tribal emirate was never the only or most important state institution in the history of Lebanese autonomy. Historically, the Shiite emirs of Mount Lebanon, such as the Beqaa and Jabal Amel, were either strong allies or rivals to the expansionist Druze emirs in their expansion of territory and political influence. In the 17th century, Patriarch Douaihi established a fictional narrative of the Emir of Chouf as the true and unique ruler of Lebanon. He was the first to propose this hypothesis, based on which school history books and academic research were written, research that aimed to dismantle the foundations of this system from a historical perspective; from the perspective that a leader in the Druze Mountains was at the head of the government and was considered the unified ruler of Lebanon from a political and administrative perspective. Based on this narrative, all other currents were marginalized and it was claimed that Lebanon was a Druze and Maronite country. In this way, the history of most of today's Lebanon, namely the Bekaa, the Amel Mountains, and Mount Lebanon, was left aside and removed from the general national history of this country, so that the history of the Chouf would be generalized to all of Lebanon. This book is a research to get out of this inherited black hole and restore the lost credibility to the history of other currents in Lebanon; The movements that Shiites formed the most during the Ottoman era, as well as the areas of their presence, were the most extensive and their rulers were the most deeply rooted rulers of this land.
