Accordingly, this research aims to answer the following question: How have Mongol traditions, the cultural and historical identity of Iranian society, and their impact on post-Ilkhanid political legitimacy been reflected in the thought of Kamal al-Din Abd al-Razzaq Samarqandi?
The results of the research, conducted with a descriptive-analytical approach, indicate that: tribal traditions including the continuity of the Timurids with the Mongol Berlas tribe, the racial duality of court officials, the continuity and preservation of Iranian identity from antiquity to the Timurid era, the linking of Iranian culture with Islamic identity, special attention to the continuity of Sharia and Tariqa, attention to the principles of Iranshahr and its components such as divine glory (Farra-ye Izadi), the continuity of religion and politics, and justice and fairness, were the most important concepts considered by Samarqandi in characterizing Iranian identity in the Timurid era, the outcome of which was granting political identity legitimacy to the Timurid officials and justifying their rule.
Thus, the unique experience of the Sarbadars and Sheikh Hasan Juri, which was a mixture of socially and politically active Sufism with dynamic Shiite concepts, linked with the Safavid movement and created profound transformations and changes in the religious, political, and social geography of Iran; therefore, in Samarqandi's historiographical thought, Sharia and Tariqa have been among the most important foundations for identity-building and legitimizing Iranian rulers in the interval between the Ilkhanids and the Safavids, which was largely completed during the Safavid period.
