"Nasir al-Din Tusi and His Socio-Political Role in the Thirteenth Century Abbas Ali Shameli Introduction In the history of human civilization as a whole and in that of Islamic civilization in particular, there have been outstanding figures who played decisive roles in forming or changing various aspects of human life.
In the history of Islamic civilization, Khāja Nasir al-Din Tusi (597- 1201/672-1274) was a unique scholar, in one of the most crucial periods, whose real role and personality are still obscure.
The intercontinental Mongol invasion and the collapse of all Islamic powers and states at the same time as the abolishment of Ismā ili fortresses and the destruction of the Abbasid caliphate created a bloody and unstable condition for all Muslims including Tusi.
His letter to Ibn al- Alqami the Shi i vizier of al-Musta sim, requesting a position that would bring him into contact with the caliph, his long lasting connection with the Ismā ili elite and his supervision of the institute of Awqāf to administer the observatory of Marāgha are some aspects which will be dealt with in this paper.
39 Despite his critical evaluation of Tusi, Arberry gives the following account of Tusi’s cultural role : The Mongols, like their twentieth century disciples, knew how to handle and exploit to their own ends men of that caliber; and in the end, whether out of conviction or statecraft, the Ilkhāns accepted Islam and Muslim civilization was revived in Persia and Iraq.
