Abstract

It seems that politics and governance have intervened in a clear, prominent and influential way in all aspects of peoples’ lives, including people’s ideological lives, with the aim of influencing the public mood and winning people over to the political vision adopted by this group or that, and this personality or that, and they have allowed themselves to invent stories and novels and touch people’s hearts For that, including the erection of shrines and scenes attributed to non-owners for what they left of a rich human or religious heritage that has remained present in people’s lives through generations, or perhaps artificial shrines of fictitious personalities that do not exist in history and attribute them to the highest lineages to achieve important steps for people’s inclinations towards what they want. This topic is what Badr al-Din Lulu’, the ruler of Mosul in the Atabeg era, who built a number of religious shrines and attributed them to personalities that end in lineage with the family of the pure Prophet Muhammad, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him and his family, and some of them are names that do not exist at all .
