چکیده:
After being established by Sheikh Abu Ishagh Kazeruni in the second half of the fourth century AH, the Morshidiyya sect was consistently guided by its main headquarters in Kazerun through creating an extensive monastic network. The present article, using a descriptive-analytical method and relying on the main sources, seeks to answer the question: What role did geographical and cultural contexts play in the formation and expansion of Morshidiyya monasteries? By studying the natural and cultural geography of Kureh Shapur, it is concluded that the presence of great Sufis in Shiraz such as Abu Abdollah Mohammad ibn Khafif and also the passage of the Shiraz trade route to the sea through the Kazerun region, provided the basis for cultural and religious exchanges between Shiraz and Kazerun. At that time, Kazerun from Kureh Shapur and its surrounding areas was one of the important centers of Zoroastrianism. This caused Sheikh Abu Ishagh to settle there and establish his monasteries in Kureh Shapur to spread Islam. The attraction of the Morshidiyya monastery, which paved the way for its expansion in Kureh Shapur, was due to several factors. In addition to the spiritual virtues of Abu Ishagh Kazeruni, the provision of social services to the needy and travelers and the support of merchants and traders for the monasteries of Morshidiyya are among these factors.

Clarifying the cultural-geographical backgrounds and components of the formation and 1 expansion of Murshidiya Khanqahs in Koureh Shapur * Azam Rahimi Jaberi ** Abdulrasul Kheirandish [Date of receipt: 2017/03/21 Date of acceptance: 2020/11/07] Abstract The Murshidiya order, after its establishment through the efforts of Sheikh Abu Ishaq Kazeruni in the second half of the fourth Hijri century, was guided in a cohesive manner from its main headquarters in Kazerun through the creation of an extensive network of khanqahs.
It seems that important cultural backgrounds and components, such as the influence of prominent Sufis, the spread of Islam, the spiritual miracles of Abu Ishaq Kazeruni, service to God's creation, the intermediary role of Koureh Shapur between the shores of the Persian Gulf and central Iran, and the support of merchants for the Murshidiya khanqahs, played an effective role in the formation and expansion of the Murshidiya khanqahs.
Similarly, new research has mostly been written based on the primary source related to the subject, such as Firdaws al-Murshidiya fi Asrar al-Samadiyya by Mahmoud ibn Uthman, and they do not offer new information in this regard, including the research of: Zarrinkub (1979), in the book "Search in Iranian Sufism," has examined Sufism in Iran and its schools, and in doing so, has referred to several great mystics and Sufis of Fars, including Sheikh Abu Ishaq Kazeruni, the founder of the Murshidiya order.
