Examination of the role of the Seljuqs in the political evolution of the Hajj

Hajj is one of the forts of Islam and has been one of the most important religious, political and cultural arenas of Muslims. During the Seljuk period, changes were made in this field. Because Hajj before the Seljuqs has faced a lot of problems, until the caravans of Iran from the early fifth century AH were less successful in Hajj. In accordance with the religious and political legitimacy of their government to support the Abbasid caliphate and the Holy Shrines and to carry out political, military and civilian measures, the Seljukis made great efforts to deliver Hajj caravans annually and to provide the security and well-being of the Hajjis. Though there were problems affecting Hajj's journey, it caused disruption, but Hajj Iranians remained firmly established over the course of the second half of the fifth century until the Mongol invasion. This article tries to study the role of the Seljuk in the political competition on Hajj between the Abbasid caliphate and the Fatimids and the actions taken during the Seljuk period for the Hajj hypothesis based on the sources.
