Abstract

This article discusses the models for the methods of killing and torturing the official employers from upper class who occupy important posts in the top of the pyramid of authoritarian states and Muslim states and those coming within the scope of this article were occupying senior management positions, especially positions of the caliph and the minister and army chief and writer.

It is well known that Islam is a religion of tolerance and farewell to peace does not allow any aggression against the Muslim Safety, both physical and moral, much less if we are talking about the top of the pyramid in the Islamic state: the caliph and his top assistants.

However, the political reality portrayed in history and literature sources is full of shaking events reflecting forms of violence against the symbols of the State Supreme and their associates.

Needless to say, the phenomenon of violence toward the referees is familiar to many human civilizations; however, this study aims to shed some light on the political system in the Islamic civilization in the Middle Ages.

This article can be considered a first academic effort to stir up curiosity about the political reality - the security associated with the lives of rulers and senior helpers and associates in the Muslim tradition, in line with the investment of what is contained in the sources of heritage in a deeper understanding of the nature of political life under Islam during the Middle Ages.
