Abstract

Teymurid rule began from 771 AH in Mesopotamia, and gradually extended to Mediterranean coasts. The government was, from the beginning up to the end, Hanafi Sunnite. As was for the earlier rulers, the TEYMURIDS were expected to support the Sunnites and restrain SHI’ISM. While they were formally Sunnites, however, they showed Shiite leanings. Although there were other Sunnite rulers, before TEYMURIDS, who favored SHI’ISM, TEYMURIDS were uniquely supporting SHI’ISM, insisted on the right to caliphate for the Prophet’s Household, and were hostile towards Umayyad rulers. The present article is seeking to describe the situation leading to such a leaning, and investigates the causes for this as far as the historical evidences allow. Hypothetically, the following factors were the main ones in TEYMURIDS’ positive view of SHI’ISM: the large number of Shiite people in Teymurid realm, their Mu’tazelid approach, their belief in Hanafi Sunnism, and their leaning towards Sufism. However, one may also consider the secondary factors such as the geographical position (Khorasan province being in TEYMURIDS’ realm), and the composition of their agents and the elites. This article uses a historical approach to the research.
