The old Islambol was prone to fire due to the type of architecture. This city suffered many big fires during the Ottoman period. This article is a report on the fire of the Iranian Consulate in Islambol in 1293 AH. Is. Apart from the material losses, this incident caused the loss of important historical documents and resources. The mission officer of Iran, Mirza Mohib Ali Khan Nazemul Malik Marandi Yakanlu, had collected most of the historical documents and sources for use and reference in the Iran-Ottoman Boundary Commission. After burning the documents and resources in the consulate, he started an all-out effort. For this purpose, he wrote several letters to the Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs at the time, Mirza Hossein-Khan Sepahsalar, and by mentioning the exact address of historical documents and sources, he requested to prepare and send them. His letters and Sepahsalar’s responses about the incident of the burning of the Iranian consulate in Islambul have not been published yet, and this issue has remained hidden from the researchers in the history of Iran-Ottoman relations. In this research, using the unpublished documents of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, various aspects of the issue have been reported and analyzed.

The city in the Islamic period, in terms of structure, was the continuation of Sassanid era urban planning, and its physical elements are mostly taken from the rich culture of Islam and indicate the Islamic civilization. Qazvin is one of the cities of the Islamic period, the core of which was formed during the Shapur rule, the Sassanid king, and gradually developed and expanded. This city, in terms of its special geographical location, has been the focus of various governments since the pre-Islam era, and its location on the east-west and north-south communication highways has guaranteed the survival of the social, political, and economic life of this city. Knowing the characteristics of such cities can be useful in gaining a deep and broad insight into the social and political history of Iran in the Islamic era. Historians of the Islamic era have examined the city of Qazvin from various aspects. In this article, an attempt has been made to study the characteristics of the urban context of Qazvin from the historical point of view and archaeological research, as well as the communication routes of this city with neighboring areas based on historical sources. The main question is to what extent the historical information corresponds to the features of this city. The results of this study and the field visit to the city show that the urban context of Qazvin is largely consistent with historical sources. The field surveys and studies carried out and their comparison with archaeological research showed that the city underwent many changes in the late Islamic era, in such a way that during the Qajar period, as well as in the Pahlavi period, the urban context was expanded and modern buildings were built in the city.

Abstract Social and historical phenomena and events of each period, if they are original, their scope will be extended to the literary texts of that period.Hafez Shirazi's Divan is a clear example of literature and some historical and social issues. Recognition of historical data in Hafez's court; In addition to knowing more about his poetry and times, he can clarify the degree of overlap and similarity of the historical data of Hafez's divan with the historical sources of this period. Therefore, this paper, with a descriptive-analytical method and possible use of Goldmann's structuralist theory of genetic, seeks to answer the questions of how the historical data of the eighth century in Hafez's divan relate to the historical sources of this period. To what extent has he succeeded in including it in his court?The findings indicate that Hafez, with his high awareness, historiography and analysis of political and historical issues, has included some of the political and historical themes and events of his time in a concise manner and with literary mechanisms in his poetry. . So that one of the secrets of immortality and art of his divan is to provide accurate, delicate and insightful analysis in the face of historical events and happenings of his time. The similarity and overlap of some historical data of Hafez's poetry with the historical events and sources of his time is such that researchers can use it as a historical fact in historiography.

The Pishdadian dynasty is mentioned as the first Iranian dynasty in various Iranian sources, namely Avesta, Pahlavi texts, Shahnameh and Islamic texts. Avesta and national narratives of Iran underwent changes over time and until they were written during the Sassanid period, and then became the basis of the work of compilers of Pahlavi texts, Islamic historians. These developments continued and manifested themselves in the form of additions and differences in the description of their prehistoric stories. This descriptive-analytical study tries to study the series of predecessors in historical sources.

The present study compares the Rawadids history in the Islamic historical sources and the Divan of Qatran ,the poet of the court of this dynasty rulers. The main issue of this research is to show the importance of Qatran poetic narration for completing, developing and correcting the reports of historical sources from the period of Rawadids. Due to the distance of Azerbaijan from the center of the Abbasid caliphate and the relative independence of the Rawadids from the Buyids, the narration of historical sources about them is short and cross-sectional and lacks temporal and spatial continuity.this narration does not go beyond the political and military spheres and covers only the times when part of the events of the Rawadids is linked to the Caliphate or the Buyids and the Seljuks. Contrary to historical sources, Qatran provides a narrative report that has a half-century continuum. His report includes characters from this dynasty that do not exist in historical sources. Although Qatran does not refer to the lineage and clan of the Ravadids, his poems deal with a part of their intellectual, cultural and social history that does not exist in the narration of historical sources. Much of Qatran's narrative of the history of the Ravadids challenges the narrative of historical sources and shows their numerous flaws and shortcomings. This contemporary and direct narrative can to some extent provide the possibility of verifying the narration of historical sources that have been written mainly within a temporal and spatial distance from that period

According to historical sources, Azargoshnesb fire temple was one of the three important Sassanid fire temples. The location of this fire temple is mentioned in Pahlavi Ganzak sources, which the Arabs called Shiz, and its fire temple was lit until the fourth century AH. According to historical sources and archaeological research, Shiz is the current Takht-e Soleiman. Takht-e Soleiman is completely forgotten for two centuries after the fifth century AH. so that in the historical sources there is no mention of this place, but in the reign of Ilkhanate, this place was considered again and a hunting palace was built in it. In this period, Takht-e Soleiman, is referred to as Storliq, Surluq, or Soghorluq and most of the historical developments of Takht-e Soliman in the Islamic period are related to this time. After the Ilkhanate period, during the early Safavid kings, this place was used as a royal hunting ground and in the same period, this place is known as the Takht-e Soleiman. With the change of the Safavid capital and the departure of Takht-e Soleiman from the centers of government, this place was marginalized and forgotten forever in the political history of Iran.

According to the Zoroastrian religious teachings, and in order to prevent the contamination of the four sacred elements of water, soil, wind and fire, dead bodies should be put in an open area and on the top of mountains, should be consumed by carnivorous animals, and their bones should be buried in a specific place named Astodan (Ostekhandan). This method, which has been the most common burial tradition of Zoroastrians in the Islamic period, was carried out in the circular hypaethral structures built up on the top of mountains. These structures are called “Dakhma” and the mentioned ritual is called “Dakhmagozari.” Despite the research done on “Dakhmagozari” ritual and the “Zoroastrian Dakhma,” important questions about the historical background of this tradition and the history of the burial structures associated with it, and the evolution of the architectural features of the Zoroastrian Dakhma throughout the various historical periods still remain unanswered. So, the present research ties to answer these ambiguities by doing field studies and interpreting and analyzing the findings of these studies with a “historical approach.” According to the results obtained by referring to historical sources and archaeological evidence, the tradition of giving dead bodies to carnivorous animals, which has been a common burial tradition in Moqan since Achamenian periods, and using circular Dakhma, common throughout the Parthian-Sassanid period, have been popular among Iranian Zoroastrians. Following the mentioned trend during the Islamic period, the Dakhmagozari ritual and using circular Dakhmas have continued to exist up to the present time by going through changes in the way of performing the ceremonies and in the architectural components of the related burial structures.

Coin is of the most important sources for studying societies in the past and can shed a light on dark aspects of society’s political-religious and economical status. The short period of Afsharid is of particular importance in the history of coin due to the various coinage from the perspective of engravings, concepts and written words on them, in geographical landscape from Caucasia to India’s states. The main question of the research is that how were the Afsharid coins engravings and how they differ from those of before and after periods? This research through a comparative method has studied the coinage process in Afsharid Period from being influenced by Safavid king’s tradition and coinage method in the Indian subcontinent to specific innovations of Afsharid mints, and its coinage has been compared with other coinage before Afsharid period. The finding of research indicates that Nader’s approach in coinage was defending Iran’s corporeality, royal authority, conquest and realism in applying labels and titles, whilst his successors had returned to the coinage tradition of Safavid period.

The approximate one century of Ilkhanid dominions in Iran, was a priory in flourishing such an innovation styles of Architectural and Urban designing in Islamic ages of which clarifying its different dimensions has been less considered. Parallel to this attitude, investigating the architectural form of Ali Shah’s Mosque in terms of the greatest ever made religious architecture in Iran would be among the most prominent issues related to the medieval construction methods during Islamic ages. Using descriptive analytical methods besides library studies as well as reviewing historical documents around Ali Shah’s Mosque in Tabriz and its overlapping with archaeological excavation’s results followed by in Ali Shah site, this project is aimed to recognize the architectural combination and the spatial appearance of Ali Shah Mosque. According to the results and considering the sequence of religious architectural movement through Ilkhanid era, it is obvious that aside from the usual construction language that can be seen in Ghazaniya and Sultaniya, focusing on bilateral units, not only the loftiest ever made arch of Islamic world was made in Ali Shah’s span, but also one of the highest chamber dome of those ages had been created in this structure.

The era of about 40 years of Mongol’s military campaigns in Iran and its neighboring territories has been one of the most eventful periods of history and thus has attracted serious attention from historians. In addition to describing these military campaigns, historians have tried to record the invasions' chronology and times. However, their reports on this case, i.e. the time of the happening of the events related to the military campaigns, has suffered from at-times considerable discrepancies. Based on this hypothesis, the present descriptive-analytical research, tries to shed some light on the chronology of Mongol conquests of Persia, by comparing the reports of historical sources written in Iran, Iraq, and Mamluki territories (Egypt and Levant) to answer the question of the differences and similarities observable in the chronology of these campaigns. The results show that during the period of the Genghis Khan's invasions (616-621 AH), Iranian historians played a more prominent role than Iraqi and Mamluki historians but in post-Genghis era up to the Hulagu Khan's campaign (624-651 AH), the role of Iraqi historians was more outstanding and ultimately during the Hulagu Khan's campaign (651-658 AH), Mamluki historians played an important role in writing a chronology of the Mongol conquests.

In the first part of introduction in the literatures of the history of Islamic Iran, Tahmidiehs (praising Allah statements) can be seen that are similar in shape and structure, meanwhile there are some differences are in their contents. These differences are made by various factors. This paper aims to consider the reasons why differences are there in contents, descriptions and interpretations used in Tahmidiehs presented in the literature of the history of Islamic Iran. To explain these differences, some factors, namely religious policies of governors, common religious beliefs and their impacts on the writing methods of Tahmidieh are considered.  The results of this study show that Tahmidiehs are under the effect of the theoretical foundations of governments, cultural-social status, and generally discursive space related to the time they are written.

Land of the Arabic Maghreb and Andalusia are parts of the land of the famous Traditional Islamic world. These areas have been deeply influenced by Islam and Islamic culture. North Africa was eventful on an extremely large scale. The region, because of its extent and geographical situation and also staying far from the Central and Eastern Islamic lands was impressed by Kharijites, Ismailis, Alavis, who influenced Berber tribes and caused numerous developments. They founded the first big government which was independent of the Abbasid Caliphate. However, the history of this region was not well expressed in the works of Historians of Central and Eastern Islamic lands. Perhaps only Ibn al-Athir has tried to express the events and developments in Arabic Maghreb and Andalusia. He has criticized Tabari on having less attention to the history of this area. The problem is that Ibn al-Athir has not mentioned his historical sources about this region. This article, by the means of comparing, is about to introduce a number of sources on Islamic Maghreb events that were used by Ibn al-Athir.

War cry being considered as a literary type and the simplest kind of order is of various themes and applications. In the earlier forms, it was utilized for the steering of camel, stating goodness and ethical advice while it was gradually used for the purpose of glory, satire, swearword, war and dispute, ostentation as well as the epic short songs.
The purpose of the present article is the identification and description of the mode of stating war cries of Karbala martyrs as one of the most important and singular ones related to the events of early Islam in various versions of historical sources from the second to the sixth century via taking advantage of analytical and documentary study methods.
The findings of this research illustrates that the amount of these war cries in a story like approach has been gradually increased.
Accordingly, the belief in the rightness of issuing of numerous war cries narrated in some sources is along with serious challenges. In this regard, it is more probable that the great amount of them is the descriptive accounts having changed into war cries by some people and they have been added to the previous ones

Considering historical sources in Sira studies (study on biography and characteristics) is highly important. These sources have been underestimated in the area of producing written heritage among Shiites. On contrary, Sunni Muslims have made considerable efforts in writing historical works which is the reason that understanding and analyzing the history of Shiism and Ahl al-Bayt (a) in reliant on considering such Sunni sources. The question which is raised here is: How we can refer to historical sources of Sunnis in gaining historical understanding of Ahl al-Bayt (a). The hypothesis which is analyzed in the present paper is: It seems that Sunni historical sources have significant influence on Sira studies. Therefore, the history and Sira of Imam Sajjad (a) will be studied based on "The History of Damascus" written by Ibn Asakir (d. 571) by means of three Imamiyya sources: Al-Irshad by Shaykh Mufid (d. 413), Al-Kharaj by Qutb Ravandi (d. 573) and Manaqib Al Abi Talib by Ibn Shahr Ashub (d. 588). Then by doing a comparative analysis of the three Imamiyya sources and the mentioned Sunni source about Imam Sajjad (a), it is shown that there are significant differences between the quantity of data and content presented in these sources in a way that disregarding Sunni sources would clearly have an impact on the findings of the research.

According to the common viewpoint of some researchers in Hafezology field, Hafez had been engaged in jobs as the official and administrator of administrative system. A precise study of citations and the methods of inferences speak of the necessity of a review on this viewpoint. This research is going to answer to these questions that what is the basis of the viewpoint on the occupation of Hafez? Which of the viewpoints on the occupation of Hafez had more validity? It seems that the prevalence of the idea of aforementioned viewpoint is due to false inference of sources and semantics of Hafez poems and therefore this issue needs a more precise study and research. The present research will evaluate the citations and evidences of researchers in presentation of aforementioned viewpoint and tries to explain the type of Hafez linkage to the administrative system according to available evidences and documents based on descriptive-analytical method in a critical approach.

Auhud, one of the significant battles in the prophet era, had a strong influence on Muslim destiny. Initially victorious, the battle ended up with defeat at the part of Muslims in spite of enemy desertion. Having various contributions of companions during the battle, some companions fought sincerely for the sake of the prophet and his mission however, some did not prove so. Their effort so could be considered as inefficient support as they escaped from the field and failed to resist. The Quranic and historical resources approach to this event may vary so this research intends to recognize the type of contributions made in the battle. The method applied in this research is qualitative typology. According to the statistics, from 27 verses (Ayat) about Auhud Battle only 30% would bear the index of “full supporters” whereas the rest of 70% fall for “semi or non supporters” index. Interestingly, the historical resources, willing to introduce the majority of companions as full supporters, ignore the characteristics of two other indicia upon them. Therefore, the Quranic critical approach to the passive contribution of majority of companions in the battle shows obvious contradiction towards the historical resource analysis. In fact, the verses address to the companions who were negligent in the field of the battle and their effort has considered as insufficient and inefficient to support the prophet.

The aim of this research is to analyze the viewpoint of Muslim authors about the concept of ‘Divine Glory’ or Farr-e Izadi, which was the source of legitimization for kings of ancient Iran, with an emphasis on prose works of Islamic period. These works have been categorized and studied in three fields of historical sources, texts related to the Wisdom of Illumination or Hikmat-e Ishraq and Books of Percept or Andarz Nameh-ha. This research tries to analyze these selected works in order to answer this question that how was the reading of their authors from this ancient concept and how they related their perception to this issue. This research shows that Sheikh Shahab al-Din Suhrawardi had depicted the most theosophical interpretation from this concept and had the most substantial and superficial similarity to the original version. Conception of authors who wrote historical texts is also similar to components of ancient standard in a sacred point of view, while there is an important distinction towards this concept which had different usage from the real version. In fact the image of Farr-e Izadi which has been depicted by the authors of Books of Precept is not according to the characteristics of the original version but is based on their perception of ancient concepts in political fields for their governors.
