Abstract
Social classes play a major role in different areas of every society's life. The way of interaction and the real position of each can help the progress and excellence of that society or, on the contrary, cause a number of anomalies and instability in the fields of culture, politics, economy, etc. The presence of social classes and their special characteristics in Islamic societies is an undeniable fact that although according to religious teachings, one person is not privileged over another except for piety, but these classes have helped the development and progress of the glorious Islamic civilization and in some cases Periods have brought the society to the border of instability and chaos. Social classes have existed in every period of Iran's history, and this has also been manifested in the period of Al-Buye. Al Boyeh's need for employees and encouraging them to work and craft, and honoring scholars and scientists and their use of slaves, caused that every city from different classes, such as the class of artisans, the class of employees, the class of merchants, the class of jurists, The class of soldiers, the class of scientists, and the class of slaves were formed with the specific indicators of that era. Based on what was said; The central question of the current research is what characteristics did the social classes have in the era of Al Boyeh? The proposed hypothesis is that the social classes of this era have not changed in structure compared to previous periods, but they have had serious differences in political and social behavior. The current research is explained using historical sources and descriptive-analytical method.
