The seventh to the ninth century AH are considered to be important periods of Sufism in Iran. The purpose of this research is to study the influence of Sufi lessons on the emergence and expansion of Iran’s political and social movements from the seventh to ninth centuries. By examining the events of Iranian history, It becomes clear that after the Mongal invasion of Iran between the 7th and 9th Centuries, there were many uprisings and movements that had a Sufi_ Shiite approach and were influenced by Sufi thinking, and in some cases the same movements the influence of the time beliefs was Shi’a and Sufism and Sunni.These movements and uprisings which were a trick of Sufi belifes and Shiite thought, had a remarkable influence on Iranian history. There is no doubt that some of their sufi thoughts influenced the formation of these movments among them were their ideas and their particular view of Mahdism and other categories of thought and method. Since the review of all the movements that were considered in this study was not possible, we tried to investigate the four movements of the Sarbedaran, Marashhian, Mosha’shi’an, and Horofiyya, in order to find out the extent of the influence and role of Sufi thought in these movements will be examined.
