Tārīkh-i Jahāngushāy-i Juvaynī is a historical-literary work with technical prose. One of the features of this book is the use of imagery to express political concepts. The main question of this research is what role imagery plays in Tārīkh-i Jahāngushāy to establish the political and religious authority of governments. Based on a descriptive-analytical framework, the analysis of imagery in Tārīkh-i Jahāngushāy indicated that imagery was a tool for generating power discourse and for organizing specific political thoughts. The use of all kinds of imagery and expressive techniques in Tārīkh-i Jahāngushāy was not only for the purpose of embellishing the speech and representing aesthetics, but it also served the purpose of persuading the audience and instilling political concepts in addition to reporting historical events. In his work, like other writers of prose texts, Juvaynī tried to use the persuasive and inductive functions of all kinds of imagery to political concepts such as the divinity of the source of power, the sovereignty of the sultans based on destiny, kingship, the requirements and duties of the king, absolute obedience to the sultan, the military power of the state, and suppression of enemies to instill the political and religious legitimacy of states, establish their authority, and justify their actions.

The authors of persuasive prose texts in Persian have strengthened the foundations of governments by using the views of Muslim policymakers and policy makers. One of the most important tasks of these writers is to legitimize, instill and instill formal and legal sovereignty over governments. The research method of the article is descriptive-analytical and the authors of this article seek to answer the question that what are the common components of the political authority of governments in the two books of the Tarikh-i Beyhaqi and Rahat al-Sodoor? The research findings show that the main requirement of political authority is to gain political and religious legitimacy. In these works, the rulers of the society try to consolidate their rule by gaining political legitimacy, delegating power from the caliph to the sultan, establishing efficient governmental apparatuses and institutions, strengthening military and financial power, instilling supernatural characteristics, justice and dealing with Muslim affairs. The induction of religious legitimacy of governments is done by emphasizing the divinity of the source of power of kings, the role of destiny in the rule of rulers, the obligation to obey them, religiosity and repression of enemies.
