Abstract:

The issue of legitimacy was one of the theoretical priorities of the Safavid government from both internal and external perspectives. Therefore, the Safavid government was trying to find a suitable answer for the basic issue of legitimacy. The thought patterns of the ancient period, encountered Shiite Imamate, Sufism, theories of Islamic legitimacy and Mongolian traditions. These knowledges, which were the result of previous traditions, faced successive transformations. Therefore, there was a need for a model that can present all these knowledges with a new organization in a new structure. The diversity of sources of legitimation of the Safavid government, in addition to showing the importance of the issue, can show the capabilities of the government in employing these sources to distinguish and differ from the legitimacy of previous periods and ages. Now the question is, how did the sources of historiography shape and explain their legitimizing discourse based on the model of “God's shadow”? The current research is organized using the method of “concept of history”, and the “text interpretation approach”. It claims that the Safavids established a legitimacy system based on the discourse of Zellu-l-lahi by using multiple legitimizing sources that were already formed. The concept of "shadow of God" which is its definition, in the structuring of multiple sources of legitimacy, has started to sanctify the government
