(Case Study the numbers: three, seven, twelve, forty and seventy-two)AbstractNumbers have a special place in the culture and beliefs of the people of Iran and the world in terms of symbolism or sanctity and sinister, so that some of them are considered good and holy and some are considered bad and sinister. In Iran, especially after the religion of Zoroaster, numbers play an important role in the myths and traditions of society. The continuity of sacred numbers in historical periods and the transfer to their later cultures and civilizations has made the role of many of these numbers visible in life today.Some of these numbers have a long connection with their beliefs and their etymology introduces them to the reasons for their acceptance and prevalence. These reasons are sometimes religious and sometimes mythological. Knowledge of the environment, magical powers, religions and religions seem to have played a role in the sanctification of numbers. This research has been done with a descriptive and analytical approach and the results of this study indicate that the sanctification of numbers has been largely influenced by religions, faiths, beliefs and seasonal changes.

With the rise of the Safavid Shiite government in the neighborhood of the Ottoman Caliphate, their reliance on Tabra to justify war between the two religions could pave the way for persuading soldiers to go to war with each other; Therefore, we are witnessing the widespread political application of this jurisprudential ruling by the Safavids. This article examines ten contracts from the Safavid period to the Qajar period, with the aim of answering a few questions: As an jurisprudential ruling, what effect has Tabra had on the political arena of Iran-Ottoman relations? In which of these treaties are the Safavids forbidden from Tabra? And what obligation did the Ottomans accept in the face of this obligation? The present study, conducted through the method of historical research based on analysis, reflects the fact that the rulers of the two countries, whenever their interests demanded, used Tebra as a political weapon to oppose each other. Another is that throughout the Safavid period, the prohibition of Tabra was a fixed clause in all Iranian contracts with the Ottomans.

Throughout history, there were several nations forced to speak other languages and to learn about other cultures as a result of war, migration, religious beliefs, and so on. This fusion of language and culture has led to the emergence of many artistic styles and forms. This was a reciprocal influence on the culture and art of both countries or all the countries involved in the specific historic event such as war, migration, etc. Archaeological excavations carried out by Professor Ed Keele and a Canadian archeological team at Yazdgerd castle before the revolution of Iran revealed a critical column that contained a number of motifs. After a while, the column was moved to the ROM Museum in Toronto.In this article I provide reference to evidence and documents form pasts centuryes to present, and I would make this argument that one of these motifs can be an obvious representative of a dancer or a singer. This paper includes a piece from my lifelong research in the field of theatre and show form.The article explains how the carved details in the form and cover of this excavated motif are very similar to Gusan and maybe Krishna, the Indian god. There are several historical Books that talk about Gusans as pioneers of acting in the world. The hypothesis explains how this mural can be perceived as a typical role of a Gusan. A proposed explanation is provided as to how the prominence of a Gusan can adorn the palace of a king.

One of the most brilliant periods of Iranian architecture after Islam is the Safavid period.But perhaps its architectural history is less known compared to Seljuk, Ilkhanid, Timurid periods.As we know,the most meaningful building in an Islamic city is the "mosque."The present study seeks to answer the question,"What is the connection between our sense of belonging&physical components of Safavid mosques through our historical-analytical analysis?"The purpose of this study is to identify&explain physical components in architectural design of Safavid mosques by conducting library&field studies&by using heuristic mixed method,and to measure effect of physical components on level of belongingness of individuals to mosques. After a deep historical-analytical analysis, resulting to identification of components of physical system of Safavid mosques&their approval by73full professors or associate professors of universities in field of Islamic architecture, these physical components are classified into5categories of"physical,spatial organization,light direction,geometrical hierarchy or order. Afterwards,the most effective criteria for increasing sense of belonging were extracted.Two models of the questionnaire were created&answers were analyzed according to Likert scale&by using structural equation modeling.The relationships between variables&their impact on mosques of Imam Khomeini,Sheikh Lotfollah,Hakim&AghaNoor were studied considering their similarities at different levels.Findings show a significant relationship between components of physical system with degree of belongingness of the worshipers where role of physical component is more important than other components.The existence of these components altogether creates a sense of belongingness to that mosque;and finally,if in the newly built mosques, components of physical system are defined properly&in harmony with each other,the sense of belongingness will increase within worshipers.

Allied forces, including Soviet and British forces, occupied Iran in September 1941. After a while, American forces were added to them. After entering Iran and achieving their goals, these forces were stationed in various areas, especially in some cities, including Isfahan, and began patrolling. The deployment and patrolling of the Allied forces in Isfahan has inevitably led to clashes between them and the people of Isfahan. The purpose of this study is to investigate the reasons for the Allied presence and patrol in Isfahan and their dealings with the people of Isfahan. To investigate this issue, a descriptive-analytical approach has been used with the help of unpublished documents and newspapers related to the deployment of the Allied forces in Isfahan in World War II and also the petitions of the people of Isfahan to city officials to protest the behavior of these forces. The findings of the present study showed that the geographical and communication importance of Isfahan, the presence of German agents and supporters in it and its proximity to the Bakhtiari and Qashqai tribes, forced the Allies to deploy and patrol their forces in this city and surrounding areas. Also, the presence of Allied forces in the city of Isfahan, in addition to breaking the legal and real personality of the officials and people of Isfahan and their superior treatment of the people in this city, also contributed to the spread of phenomena such as insecurity and corruption in the city.

Iran's economy in the second decade of Mohammad Reza Shah's rule, Iran became more and more rent-seeking and oil-rich. With the nationalization of the oil industry, oil revenues belonged to Iran, and although after that an oil consortium was formed to extract and sell Iranian oil, but gradually the position of oil in the economy and consequently Iran's policy became special and very influential. To the extent that oil rents led to the formation of an oil rentier government, which had many internal and external consequences for Iran. In this article, using analytical-descriptive method, the question is what were the most important consequences of "oiling" the economy for politics and government in Iran, in internal dimensions? One of the most important internal achievements of this dependence was the establishment of administrative, political and security institutions, in the light of oil revenues and reforms from above, by the Shah relying more than anything on the revenues he had earned from oil

Elephants’ use dates back to ancient times. As one the after-Islamic dynasties Ghaznavid could take advantage of this animal as one of the pillars of their militarism in the extraterritorial and intra-territorial battles due to their numerous army deployments along the Indian borders. The present study aimed to investigate the militaristic properties of the war elephant in Ghaznavids’ army through a descriptive-analytical method. The elaboration and explication of the position and function of elephant in Ghaznavids’ army deployment is the most important issue of this article. The question is “which of this animal’s militaristic properties were employed by Ghaznavid army and what have been the strengths and weaknesses of using them in the army deployments?”The present study’s findings indicated that the creation of terror and dread, disintegration of the enemy’s army lines, treading of the soldiers, supporting friendlies, carriage of weapons and troopers and destruction of the enemy army’s fortifications have been the most important strengths of this animal. Being hit by an arrow, damage to the trunk and stampeding have been amongst the most distinct weaknesses of this animal in the course of the combats. It has been so that the supply of food and water, taking care and even providing a shelter for them have been amongst the most substantial problems for elephant-keeping.

Medicine in India has a long history, as in the Sassanid and Islamic eras, Indian medical books were one of the scientific sources of that time. India and their occupation was in the court of the Gurkhanids of India. The reason for these migrations was the strict religious policies of the Safavid kings and the favorable situation in India due to the policy of religious tolerance of the Mongols of India. After the complete conquest of India during the reign of Akbar Shah, the Mongols continued to rule. India, which in terms of historical and religious geography includes a plurality of different ethnicities and religions, will not be easily accessible, and only with the help of religious policy can tolerance prevail in India's pluralistic society. Mongol court support and generous rewards Sean was an exciting factor in attracting Iranian Najkan. This article deals with the impact of Gurkhanian religious policy in attracting the Iranian medical community in the Safavid era. O preachers of religious freedom were the elite society Iranians were under pressure from the fanatical policies of the Safavid government, and for this reason India became a bulwark to attract this elite group from Iranian society.

Studying of every period of social structures in Iran has a graet importance.Meanwhile, one of the most affective of research methos is, in general, to have access to documents, so that the realities and truths for every historical period of time are recognized; the petition documents as a group of historical documents, represent life issues and mutual relations among people.
