An Examination of Seyyed Javad Tabatabai'sIranshahr Theory and Its Influence on Islamic Thought

This study aims to revisit various narratives of Iranshahr political thought within Islamic civilization. The focus is on political thought and its diverse manifestations during the Islamic era, particularly the medieval period. In this regard, the thought of Iranians and aspects of the historical continuity of political thought in Iran, and the Iranshahr political thought with the key phrase "Divine Glory" in Islamic political thought are discussed. The theory of "Iranian Cultural Continuity" forms the theoretical basis of this research. The main research question is: "What impacts have Seyyed Javad Tabatabai's Iranshahr theory had on Islamic period thoughts?" The probable answer is that Iranshahr thought, influenced by Islamic thoughts over historical periods, has impacted the political and social life of the Islamic period thoughts and has evolved accordingly. Iranshahr political thought in the Islamic era has been reproduced in various forms, each offering its interpretation of the concept of "Divine Sovereignty." According to the present study's findings, the five narratives of Divine Glory in Islamic civilization are: Epic, Philosophical, Advisory, Mystical, and Luminous narratives.
