Abstract: (150 Views) |
Nizam al-Din ‘Abd al-Baqi Yazdi (deceased in 920) was a prominent figure during the formation of the Ṣafavid state, having held the positions of prime minister (Ṣedārat) and deputy (vekalat Nafs Nafīs Homāyūn) of the royal court under Shah Ismāʿīl. He was ultimately killed in the procession of the aforementioned king at the Battle of Chaldiran by the forces of Sultan Selim of the Ottoman. This research aims to elucidate the historical reasons and contexts that led to his proximity to Shah Ismāʿīl and his elevation within the religious and political structures of the prime ministry (Ṣedārat) and deputy (vekalat), relying on primary sources from this period, including some newly discovered documents, through a descriptive-analytical approach. The studies and findings of this research indicate that ‘Abd al-Baqi's religious and mystical personality within the Ni'matullāhī Order, along with his collaboration and interaction with Shah Ismāʿīl from the early years of his conquests against political and religious opponents, were significant factors in ‘Abd al-Baqi's influential role in the structures and transformations of that era.
