The holy city of Kadhimiya is considered one of the closest towns to the city of Baghdad. and also in terms of time as a residential inhabited city. But these common factors did not earn Kadhimiya benefits as the number of tragedies and disasters that it confronts. This reason is what gives the motivation to write this modest research which is divided into two major sections. In the first section, the researcher dealt with the conflicts and natural disasters that hit the blessed city and divided this section into two parts:
In the first part. the researcher reviewed the conflict which happened in years (353-354 A.H). This conflict happened because of the disabling markets and public life in order to make the ordinance of Ashura. So. people of schism and hypocrisy rebelled. As a conclusion. big losses occurred in these conflicts. While in the second part. the researcher reviewed what has happened in the city from floods and natural disasters which were nine major destructive floods.

The second section was dedicated to review the attacks on Kadhimiya city during the Abbasid age were thirteen attacks. At the end of the current study. the researcher concluded that the most important reason for these attacks was ideological sectarian and even hostile reason. While the most important reason for the elevation of human and material losses were attributed to the lack of fencing and the lack to fortify the city like other cities.
