In the political arena, the most important consequence of the migration of Sadat Alavi to the north of Iran in the third century (AH) was the establishment of the Alavi Shiite rule in Tabarestan. In the early fourth century (AH), with the formation and foundation of the Nasiriyah School, cities such as Amol and Husem were among the main centers for the promotion of Shiite culture throughout Tabaristan and Dilam. Using a descriptive-analytical approach, this study tries to examine Nasser Kabir's efforts in spreading Shiite thought in Tabarestan. In sum, it could be concluded that the popularity of the Alavites among the people of Tabarestan on the one hand and the efforts of Naser Kabir in spreading Islam and Shiite thought on the other hand led to the construction and establishment of schools, libraries, discussion circles and teaching of religious sciences. All of these have contributed to the rise of Shiite culture. The importance of these efforts is that, with regards to the political atmosphere and Sunni sovereignty at that time, this region has struggled to revive Shiite culture.
Keywords: Nasser Kabir, Tabarestan, Shiite Culture, Alavian.
