The Qajar era was a period of evolution, development, and and growth in both quantity and quality. Ta’ziyeh underwent a number of changes during this time, including changes to both the content, and musical instruments. The Persian state, particularly the city of Shiraz, flourished during the Qajar era as a result of the religious context of Iranian society. Additionaly, the competition between government officials, nobles and elders, women, Clergy, and businessmen played a significant role in holding of Muharram mourning rituals, especially Ta’ziyeh. On this basis, they endowed Taziyeh’s location or covered its costs. These research attempts to address the desire problem by using the documentary method and document analysis by examining the role of endowment documents and their trustees in the Shiraz taziyeh adminidtration during Qajar period. According to the research’s findings, Shiraz’s Qajar-era society’s traditional and religiousfoundations as well as the local’s devotion to Ahl al-Bayt (AS) among its merchants, noble women, and government officials have played a significant role in the growthof Ta’ziyeh in Shiraz.

Hafez’s poem is usually considered as a gnostic poem, but this approach neglects the historical situation. Opposite to gnostic poet, Hafez’s poems represent remarkable historical and social events in Shiraz. Encounter with other cultures and its combination with Old Iranian beliefs caused to emerge many various thinking elements in late Sasanian era. One of those issues that continues during Islamic era is political thinking of ancient of Iran which is named Iranshahr’s thought. R.G. Collingwood is one of the philosophers who believes that all of history is history of thinking. According to his view, language is rooted in historical elements and it can be also said that literal texts link to historical situation of author. This paper aims to analyze Hafez’s thinking about according to history of thinking in Iran and based on Collingwood’s method. Also, It indicates the important aspects of Iranshahr’s thought in Hafez’s poem which is about historical events in Shiraz.

Among the important issues of Zandieh’s history is the review and analysis of Karim Khan’s activities in various aspects of government, especially in terms of his social and economic measures. Most of Zandieh historical sources introduced Karim Khan’s establishment in Shiraz as a period of social peace and economic security. The extent to which this attitude of resources can be versified is the main purpose of this study. The present paper, by descriptive-analytical method, is based on historical primary sources, which leads to the research approach that the social peace and economic security of the Karim Khan’s period, which historical sources recall, are not in line with the historical realities of that period, and, taking into account some components, this is said to be the source of doubt. Karim Khan's actions only occurred in the capital, and this view could not be accepted about other areas under the influence of Karim Khan. Even his performance in the city of Shiraz according to the factors mentioned in the paper, should be regarded as relative and temporary in order to be more in line with historical reality.

In the fourth century AD, the Islamic world is faced with a multiplicity of capitals that each of them plays an important role in political and cultural areas. The vast geography, the need for survival of independent and semi-independent Islamic governments and increased political, economic, military and even religious competition resulted in being changed some different cities into particular capitals in the Islamic world. Among the capitals of the same levels, two Shiite capitals of the Islamic world, Shiraz as the capital of Buyehian and Halab as the capital of the Hamdanids were examined in this study due to their considerable similarities and differences. The temporal coincidence, and the coincidence ofthe religious views, similar cultural activities, and great fame of Azad od-Dowleh-ye Buyehi and Seyf od-Dowleh-ye Hamdani, as rulers of these capitals, are considered as their common similarities among other concurrent governments of the fourth century. Another important aspect of similarities and differences between these two capitals is factors affecting their locating and the important roles of these capitals in the Islamic civilization of the fourth century. Therefore, in this study, the author aims to investigate the factors affecting the locating of capital of Azad od-Dowleh-ye Deylami in Shiraz in detail using descriptive method. Then, through using comparative method, we compare the factors affecting the locating of capital of Seyf od-dowleh-ye Hamdani in the city of Halab with these factors. This article investigates the similarities and differences of Shiraz and Halab as the capitals of Azad od-Dowleh-ye Deylami and Seyf od-dowleh-ye Hamdani. This article concluded that although the reasons for the selection of these two capitals are similar in many of the cases, role and importance of each of the capitals were different in the fourth century.
