Abstract
Dinavar is one of the centers of Māh al-Kufa province and cultural areas of the Islamic world in the first centuries of Islam. In the fourth century A.H. With the rise of local governments, there has been a political advancement. Hasanwayhids chose it as his capital, but following the issues of the following centuries, it went through a downward trend, and in the thirteenth century A.H. It becomes a ruin, and today only the name of this land remains. Recognition of the flourishing period of Dinavar city and how its urban life is the main issue, which is done by descriptive-analytical method and by studying historical and archaeological findings. This study seeks to answer these questions: 1- From what period did the growth of Dinavar city begin and how long has it continued? 2. What was the social and economic situation of Dinavar? And the hypotheses are 1- After the Islam, Dinavar settlement and its agricultural lands, provided the grounds for the formation of a cultural city that has been of prosperity for nearly five centuries. 2.

Studies show that Dinavar urban life lasted until the Safavid era, but its cultural flourishing is limited to the first centuries of Islam. A brilliant period was defined by the presence of elites, an intellectual society, and cultural diversity. This flourishing was based on the growth of Islamic ideas in the first centuries, environmental capabilities, agriculture and husbandry, and the presence of craftsmen and merchants, but from about the fifth century A.H., with the political unrest, Local development, fragmentation, distance from government centers and routes, earthquakes, cultural change, and the migration of thinkers have all ended.
