One of the main principles of stability of a government is receiving and transmitting news to the capital as quickly as possible so that appropriate and timely decisions can be made. This has long led to invention of different methods for transmitting and accessing the news. The analysis shows that organizations such as Pony Express system, Brigadier Court, and Noble Court were established in order to receive timely news and deliver it in time. Among others, Brigadier Court enjoyed a higher publicity and efficiency, though it was discharged after Baghdad overthrown. Anyway, the necessity of receiving and transmitting the news and information in the following eras, especially in the Safavid era, made the Safavid government utilize similar methods.
The universal status and the strategic location of the Safavid government, standing along Ottoman and Uzbeks governments, as well as its great power, solidarity, and authority in Iran, further increased the necessity of receiving and transmitting of information. The present research aims at examining the approaches taken by the Safavid government for receiving and transmitting the news. The posed questions are: How was the information received and transmitted in the Safavid territory? What was the effect of informing and spying system on the stability or decadence of the Safavid government?
The hypothesis is that the dispersal of responsibilities on informing and spying and lack of stable organization for receiving and disseminating information were among the main reasons for Safavid decadence; which eventually led to its ongoing weakness and overthrown. The historical data provided in the paper would display a clear picture of this system and confirm the above-mentioned hypothesis.

Due to the social nature of mankind, the relationships among human beings are in fact a part of man’s nature and as such quite necessary for the continuation of his life and survival, and a necessity for his social life, links and social, economic, political and cultural integration with other fellow men. Guidance of all men at the hands of the holy Prophet Mohammad (Peace be upon him) is only possible when he is first able to communicate with his global audience. Hence, the effectiveness and success of Prophethood depends on a robust connection to non-Moslems. On the other hand, the wonderful advancements of science and technology such as ITC and mass communication have already dissolved the geographical and spatial boundaries and limitations, making men capable of establishing any sort of link or connection with each other. There is no rational reason for isolation from the international family. This paper focuses on the concepts of relationships between Islamic and non-Islamic governments, ideas and opinions of experts on the legitimacy of such relationships between Moslems and non-Moslems, and the reasons of each party according to guidance and insight provided in the Holy Quran. The discussion is, however, limited to cultural relations due to the need for a topic-based research.The result of this paper is preference of the theory in favor of establishing such connections and defining the principles governing the cultural relationships of Moslems with non-Moslems according to teachings of the Holy Quran and other source, of Islamic jurisprudence.
