Re-reading the Historical Sociology of Shariati’s Narrative of Shiism in the Safavid

Historical sociology has a special place in the field of social studies of Iranian history and Iran as a society with a long history is one of the important contexts of this type of studies. In this study, we have dealt with Ali Shariati’s approach to one of the most important historical periods of Iranian society, namely the Safavid rule and we have tried to explore “commemoration of the martyrs of karbela” as a social institution that builds sociology. In this article, we have tried we have tried from a critical point of view Safavid religious tolerance and Criticize Shariati’s perspective. In our opinion, Shariati mistakenly considers social tolerance, which also had religious backgrounds, as one of the weaknesses of the Safavids and Calls Georgian-Armenian Christian migration and Safavid economic development based on an active Armenian / Christian-Jewish system the product of mysterious hands. Perhaps if the systems has been strengthened and social tolerance did not decline in the Safavid Empire, the history of the rise of capitalism would have been written differently, but in the reading of a multi-voiced Shari’a and the diversity of religions and polytheists in the Safavid era. One of the signs of Safavid \”very close and mysterious relations\” with the Christian West is considered. In other words, with the approach of historical sociology, some complex issues of Iranian history and modernity can be proposed and re-read in a new conceptual context.
