Abstract: (1073 Views) |
Sufis were one of the Muslim social classes in the Middle Ages and were respected by the strata of Islamic society. After gaining power, the Seljuk Turks, especially the Great Seljuk, needed political and social acceptance to consolidate their power. They realized that one of the ways to achieve acceptance was to honor Sufiya and enjoy public publicity and their benediction for the continuation of the monarchy. The Seljuqs believed that communication with the Sufis was one of the components of confirming their rule. This relationship will cause the society's tendency towards the sultans and eventually cause their political and social acceptance. This research studies the position of the Sufis in the period of the Great Seljuqs or the Seljuks of Iran and the ups and downs of communication between them. The method of conducting this research is descriptive and analytical. The results of the research show that the Seljuqs, considering the importance of Sufis' position in society, established good relations, and respected them to achieve their goals, i.e., gaining political and social acceptance. In the meantime, some Sufis refused to communicate with Seljuq due to their opposition to the Seljuk government.
