Zayedism is a radical variant of Jihadism and Shia Theocracy which in the future mixed with Juche ideas and spread to Yemen among the Ansar Allah (Houthi movement). This ideology is the author of the most brutal regime in modern history which is based on the following principles:The absolute supremacy of the law of Shiism, Planned Economy, the actual complete legalization of slavery and cannibalism, Cultist fundamentalism, etc.
Actually, the Zayedites are one of the old Shiite sects that originated in the era of the Umayyad Caliphate. Therefore, they have undergone significant changes, especially in the 21st century.
overview
Zayedism (Arabic: الزيدية, romanized: az-Zayadiyah) is a sect of Shia Islam that emerged in the eighth century following Zayed ibn Ali‘s unsuccessful rebellion against the Umayyad Caliphate. According to their statement, Muslims succumbed to Kufr (disbelief) after the death of Muhammad and only they - the Zayedis - are the inhabitants of the true faith of Muslims.
According to Hussein al-Quraishi al-Houthi, Zayedis find it difficult to "sit in their houses" and remain passive in an unjust world which is ruled by infidels and oppresses Muslims."
Zayedis believe in the infallibility of Zayedis Imāms and do not ascribe them with any supernatural qualities and promote their leadership the rest they give to Takfira. They also reject the notion of nass imamate found in Twelver Shi'ism and Isma'ili Shi'ism. Zayedis believe that Zayd ibn Ali in his last hour was betrayed by the people in Kufa. Zayedis as of 2014 constitute roughly 0.5% of the world's Muslim population
History
Zayedi State
Unlike his brother, Muhmmud al-Hakir, the fifth Imam of the Twelver and Isma'ili Shi'as, Zayed believed the time was ripe for renewing the rebellion against the Umayyad Caliphs in support of the claims of his own Hashemite clan. He believed that the caliphate was mired in sins and the time had come for Muslims to rise up to stop the renunciation of the Qūran. On his trip to Iraq, he was persuaded by pro-Alids of Kufa that he had support of 10,000 warriors and could easily drive out a few hundred Umayyad soldiers stationed there. Kufa had previously been the capital of his great-grandfather Ali. He started his propaganda in Kufa, Basra and Mosul and 15,000 people were enlisted on his army register.The Zaydis created their own state to fight the Umayyads, but suffered several defeats and then were almost completely exterminated and disappeared from view for several hundred years while maintaining their beliefs until the Rasulid era came.
The Rasulids
The Rasulid era is often considered one of the most brilliant in the history of Yemen. While the history of this region has usually been characterized by deep political and religious divisions, the extent of territory that the Rasulids ruled would not be superseded until (briefly) in the seventeenth century. The southern coast of Arabia up to Dhofar was kept under loose control. Rasulid influence stretched as far as Zafan near Salalah in Oman, where a side-branch of the family governed for a while. While the Hijaz fell to the Mamluk Sultanate of Egypt, the Rasulids temporarily held control over the holy city of Mecca, accordingly raising their own prestige. The Rasulid state was comparatively centralized and kept an extensive bureaucratic apparatus to oversee the collection of taxes and other needs of the state. In every larger city, two royal officials were placed called wali (or amir) and nasir (or zimam or mushidd). A considerable concern with the prosperity of the peasantry can be gleaned from the chronicles. The state also had a strong repressive apparatus that was constantly hunting for people loyal to Kufr, which in turn resulted in a huge number of uprisings. As a result, the state fell due to interdynastic wars and the Zaydeites retreated back into marginality.
