چکیده:
The establishment of the Safavid government and some of its actions, such as declaring Twelver Shiism as the official religion of Iran and confronting neighboring Sunni rulers, prompted a number of Imami Shia jurists and scholars to think and debate about the political legitimacy of this government and the permissibility of cooperation or non-cooperation with it. During the Safavid era, a degree of mutual cooperation and convergence formed between the institution of politics and the institution of religion, and some mujtahids were appointed to positions and occupations such as the administration of religious affairs and the position of Sadr—meaning the highest religious and judicial office. By looking at these types of issues and also the process of formation and stabilization of the Safavid dynasty and the influential currents within it, questions are raised regarding why 'Safavid Sultans paid attention to Shia scholars and sought to attract the cooperation and support of scholars,' 'the reasons for the welcome of some Shia scholars to the invitation of Safavid Sultans for cooperation,' and 'the achievements of the mutual cooperation and convergence of the two institutions of politics and religion in the Safavid era.' This research aims to examine, using historical research methods and a descriptive-analytical approach based on primary sources and valid research, how the relationship between Shia scholars and Safavid rulers was, the reasons for the mutual convergence of the two institutions of politics and religion in the Safavid era, and the resulting achievements. It appears that factors such as the political sincerity of the Safavid kings to gain legitimacy and stabilize the government, the requirements arising from the expansion of the government's territory, the necessity of paying attention to the interests of influential groups, especially the scholars, and the mutual need of the two institutions of politics and religion for each other, given the requirements of the times and the political conditions of the region, have been effective in the fluctuations of the mutual convergence of some Shia scholars with the Safavid rulers.

Convergence of Some Shia Scholars and Iranian Rulers Prior to the Safavids From the late third century AH onwards, due to factors such as the intensifying decline of the Abbasid Caliphate and the formation of some Shia governments in parts of Iran and its surrounding regions, 1 Shiites were somewhat liberated from political restrictions.
