Analyzing common strategies in Shia-Sufi currents and its effect on the formation of Timurid era movements

The Shiite and Sufi movements of the Timurid era emerged on the basis of common components. The leaders of these movements, by understanding the time and environmental requirements and seizing the opportunity, tried to achieve success while taking advantage of the existing common components and using all the capacities. They intelligently and of course ambitiously tried to take advantage of the void resulting from the fall of the Abbasid caliphate and the decline of the power of the Ilkhanan, and achieved the highest political and religious positions by using the obedience of Sufis, along with the stimulation of the revolutionary doctrines of Shiism and the potential mobilization power of Mahdism. In this direction and in order to convince the public, they used the distorting power of various strange science techniques. The above multiple cases together provided a great opportunity for the mentioned movements. In this article, an attempt will be made to decipher the reasons for the convergence of the existing commonalities with an analytical and descriptive view while criticizing and examining the common components of the three movements of Harufiyeh, Moshashayan and Noorbakhshiye.
