changing attitude of shiite scholars to Sufism from Safavid era

The surveys show that in changing the approach of some jurists and Imamiah scholars to Sufism after the Safavid, in addition to religious concerns, political factors and legitimacy of Safavid rulers as well as unreligious concerns of some jurists has also been effective. This thesis, as researching these events, has investigated them with three approaches. In the first approach, using the method of historical studies, pre-Safavid and post-Safavid historical surveys were carried out. The historical signs indicates, while before establishment of Safavid because of relative support of rulers of Sufism and also essential  union and esoteric elision that was between Shi’ism and Sufism, despite disputations between Shi’ite and other theologian sects such as Ashai’rah and Mo’tazilah and etc., minimum conflict was between Shi’ite Scholars and Sufis and more of their critiques was only some beliefs of some Sufis such as incarnation and union; But after the establishment of safavid, safavid rulers in order to moderate the increasing power of irreligious Safavid-Qizilbash Sufis turned the weight of the power components into a shi’i jurisprudence that was a new religion recognized by the government and quickly came to confront Sufism. In the second step, with a case study approach, the Sufi content was considered which since second half of the rule, there was no critique of some beliefs that turned to confrontation with the totality of Sufism. The careful consideration of the raddiah texts and answers of Sufism to them, in addition to the illusions and formalism according to the exoteric sight of some scholars, evident footprint of blind partisanship, the confrontation with Sufism as a symbol of Sunnis, worldly concerns and not necessarily the pain of religion and also treatments such as forgery of  hadith, slander, plagiarism. The treatise in the last approach, with the method of Critical Analysis of Discourse and with precision in the literature and the language of raddiah, shows that in this discourse, without any scientific and logical discussions in order to reforming the religious faith, the anti-Sufis, in order to destroying Sufism, a discourse space were made for Hegemonic interventions during the past-Safavid period.
