| Abstract | ||
| The Ommayas and Abbasians successors practiced various ways of torturing, agonizing, and slaughtering against those who did not agree with their policy or did not obey them. However, in spite of the availability of the historical documents that evidently prove how caliphs, princes, rulers and governmental officials practiced torturing during that period, we didn’t find any researcher who carried out or even tried to study 'torturing'. Surely, this was because of the researchers and specialists' fear of dealing with such topics; because it was thought that they might evoke some religious and sectarian issues among Muslims. It is nice to be noted that an MA student wrote a thesis on the prison establishment in the Islamic Arab State. He mentioned everything related to this establishment at that time, but he neglected or he was forced to neglect what was going on in the darkness of the jails. This research has been conducted to shed light and show people the reality of what was going on the jails against the public and against their opponents. We stopped at the end of the second Hijri century for the sake of shortness. We dealt with the first Abbasian caliphs as representatives of the mighty and powerful Abbasian State. | ||
