Abstract

The present research deals with a chain of social events in Iran, which mainly have both political and religious characteristics. These series of events are essential constituents of many social movements and developments in Iran. Without understanding these main factors, a realistic analysis of these social events cannot be presented. This social trend started after the arrival of Islam in Iran, which has continued with its consequences until now. In this period, we witness the efforts of the Safavid kings in harmonizing the Imāmīyyah Shīʻa religion with politics, which itself has deep roots in the history of Islam immediately since the death of the prophet Mohammad as to the Succession of the Prophet and leadership of the Islamic community. This effort conducts a research on the religious grounds, the role of religion, and the relationship between religion and politics in establishing the Safavid Empire. Then, with an analytical approach, the research deals with the results of the relationship between religion and politics from pre-modern Iran to today.
