This work examines the evolution of the Ta'ziyeh, which involved elements drawn from Zoroastrianaism, Mithraism, mythology, folklore and traditional forms of Iranian entertainment. In its final form, most of its elements - plot, character, thought, spectacle and song - derive from the Shi'a branch of Islam. Its main plot concerns the suffering and death of Imam Hussein, grandson of the Prophet of Islam. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA special issue of the journal \u003cem\u003eIsrael Affairs\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jamshid Malekpour\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0714684465\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780714684468\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/05\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 204\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.66lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.14h x 6.17w x 0.44d","brand":"Jamshid Malekpour","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48086780543231,"sku":"9780714684468","price":66.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_58d31c09-f98b-4f8d-a67f-76651da5ea6f.jpg?v=1769096534","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-islamic-drama-jamshid-malekpour-9780714684468","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
