Centuries of 7th and 8th AH is a period of historiographic growth in Iran and the Muslim World. After many years of internal tensions and instability between proponents of two different perspectives in socio-political order, namely nomadic life and plundering strategies (Mongols) and political centralization (Iranians), the Ilkhanid state in Iran got to a level of relatively stable and strength at the beginning of the 8th century AH. In addition, conversion to Islam by Ghazan, led to a new political order in which Iran and Ilkhanid state was considered a major state in the Islamic World. However, conflicts with neighboring countries particularly with Egypt and Syria that were already started from the establishment of the Ilkhanid state continued. Thus, in Iran and Muslim world particularly in Egypt and Syria Relations between Muslim states were of major issues in this movement of historiography. Iranian historians took this advantage to draw attentions to Iranian identity and geographical boundaries with particular focus on its historical background. This new approach in historiography ultimately led to such a deep reconsideration of Irano-Arab relations through historical accounts and poem that was not witnessed since Ferdowsi. Simultaneously one can realize that in Arab historical accounts such as works of Qalqashandi and Umari, Iran is seen as an independent country with relatively known boundaries and Ilkhanid state is tied to Iranian deep history and dynastic kingship. In this study, as for to reflection of conflicts between Ilkhanid and Mamluks in historical sources, interprets the approach of Iranian and Arab historians on Idea of Iran and analyzes this sources from the view point of Iranian identity.
