Defense of Absolute Monarchism, A Reflection on the Ideas of zo-al Riasatain

Mirza Ghazi Jafar Yazdi, Known as Zo-al Riasatain, is a Sufist moral writer in Nasser-al Din Shh’s era. He defended the absolute monarchism of Nasser-al Din Shah in his book called On the obligation of Praing the King. Zo-al Riasatain necessitated the obedience to the king and considered any objection or revolt against the king as breaching the [relioug] Law. Politico-economical crises of Nasseri era, which were directly related to his absolute power, caused a lot of revolts. A dominant manifestation of that was the Tobacco revolt. Zo-al Riasatain tried to defend the royal foundations and the king himself to react against these revolts but these attempts lacked ant credits.
