In the beginning of the eighth Hijri century, and simultaneously with the conversion of the Ilkhanate Dynasty,religious system, the required ground was provided for the greater development of the Shiite ideology, and in order to defend their own ideology, the Shiite scholars wrote so many books in some different fields. For instance some works on genealogy of the Alavids and Sadat were written by authors such as ibn Teqteqi (709 H.Q.), ibn Quti (723 H.Q), ibn Muayyaa (776 H.Q.) and ibn Inaba (828 H.Q.) . The present research is conducted through the descriptive-analytical method and based on frequent reference to the historical, Rijali and library resources. Therefore it attempts to answer the question “what was the part of the Shiite historiographers in the composition of the genealogy books during the eighth century? And what was their purpose doing so?” The research contexts suggest that, due to the nobility of the prophet’s family and the different between the members of the said family and other Muslims, the production of genealogy by the Shiite in the aforesaid century, the same as what done in other eras, was done aiming at recognition of the prophet’s descendants

This article explores a new window into Safavid political history - Safavid dream narratives. In that era, dreams were told to justify the kings' deeds and to legitimise their hegemony. These dreams, the symbols in the dreams, and the way they were interwoven into the political affairs of the time reflect the widely held beliefs of the people in dreams and dream interpretation. Moreover, dream narratives divulge how political and religious goals could be pursued and achieved through dream-telling and dream interpretation. This article examines why, and in which periods, dreams were appropriated by Safavid kings as legitimising instruments. The author will analyse influential dream narratives from a wide range of Safavid texts and determine the different categories of dreams that were related.

After the fall of the Buyids at the hands of the Seljuq Turks and the Seljuqs' entry into Baghdad, the apparatus of the 'Abbasid caliphs and the Sunnis once again gained control of Baghdad. However, this should not be considered as having been to the downfall or detriment of the Shi'a, because it is in this period that we come across three powerful and influential forces in Baghdad: first, the 'Abbasid caliphs and the Sunnis; second, the Seljuqs; and third, the Shi'a. Despite the fact that the Seljuqs were followers and defenders of the Sunnis, their relationship with the 'Abbasid caliphs had many ups and downs which saw them turn from allies to foes over time. Similarly, the position of the Seljuqs in relation to the Shi'a was not such that they felt the Imami Shi'a were a force that acted in opposition to them; rather, in certain instances, the Shi'a would be treated favourably, peaceably, and respectfully by the Seljuq rulers. In this article we aim to show that in the period when the Seljuqs ruled Baghdad, the Shi'a were recognized as a third effective power broker in the political and social scene, and there was no clear unified stance between the caliphs and the sultanate against the Shi'a.
