Abstract
The experience of the social mobility of the Shiite community in Baghdad in the fourth and fifth centuries of Hijri shows shifts in the social base, which can be caused by their other situations in addition to sociological reasons. Depicting the social mobility in the Shiite society of Baghdad in these two centuries and the resulting changes is one of the missions of this article.
This research is based on a descriptive approach and qualitative analysis and assuming that the Shiite community of Baghdad had relatively good social mobility with the presence of scientists in cultural centers and the presence of ministers and leaders in the Caliphate. According to historical reports, things like job changes, social connections, social dignity and respect, the value and importance of the assigned social base, etc., are considered as factors of social mobility and attaining government positions for career advancement, joining the community of scholars and increasing income. and examined wealth and... as methods of social mobility. Channels of social mobility were also investigated.
The results of the research show that during this period, social mobility was the most frequent among scholars for two reasons, 1: the statistical population was mostly scholars, 2- due to the acquisition of science and knowledge, they had more prestige and social status, therefore they had upward mobility. Ministers and nobles are placed in the next position, all of whom had upward mobility due to obtaining government positions and increasing income.
