The findings of the study indicate that Imamite Shiites, who enjoyed relative comfort and government authority during the reign of The Buyid dynasty, experienced a hard time following the Sunni Seljuks' invasion of Baghdad and the overthrow of The Buyid dynasty. The Seljuks expelled them from office; their religious leader, Sheikh Tusi, was forced to leave Baghdad and was attacked by the Sunnis after the suppression of the Shiite rebellion in the city of Karkh. But the circumstances did. The present study discusses not last the Shiites gradually regained their positions of power. The current paper discusses the interaction between the Shiites and the caliphate, the knowledge of scientific and cultural activities and developments, and how Shiites were involved in important government affairs in the Seljuk era taking into account the presence of Shiite rulers and ministers in Iran. The time span of the current paper dates back to approximately the beginning of the fifth century (485-430 AH), the period of Seljuk rule in Iran. This is a descriptive-analytical study using documentary and library sources to investigate the relationships and interactions of Imamite Shiites in Iran under Seljuk reign
