  According to Iranshahri’s political thought, king is the shadow of God on Earth (a symbolic concept) and existence of a just and charismatic king on top of government system guarantees prosperity of the country and the people’s felicity and welfare. Firdausi in his Shah-Nama (Epic of Kings) tried to reconstruct the doctrine of Ideal King and give an epic tone to it based on the demands of his time. Yet, Sohrevardi in the 6th century offered a reading of the same thought system which is referred here as “Gnostic-Illuminationist” reading of Iranshahri’s political thought. In this system “the world of imagination”, introduced by Sohrevardi, is a core concept; mythical aspect of the ideal kings in ancient narratives, such as Fereydun and Kay Khusraw, finds mystical reading, and terms like, Simorq (phoenix), Jam-e-Jahan-Bin (world-displaying cup), Mount Qaf, and so on get new interpretations. The present articles deals with Sohrevardi’s innovations in the area of Iranshahri’s political thought. Manuscript profile

  <p>The thought of every nation is formed throughout history and it is affected by many phenomena along the way. Generations, personalities, governments and all are effective as creators of ideas in the emergence of growth and with the decline or decline of ideas; For this reason, the thought of every nation is a composite collection made of countless parts and elements. Khwaja Nizam al-Mulk is one of the important and influential ministers in the political, social and cultural relations of the Seljuk government, who played an important and determining role in the bureaucracy of that government. Examining Khawaja's policy paper shows that his political thought is heavily influenced by Iranshahri's intellectual foundations. The central question of the current research is that what elements does Khwaja Nizam al-Mulk's political thought contain? The proposed hypothesis is that the ruler and the type of government are the most important indicators of Khajah's political thoughts. The following text is organized by referring to library sources and descriptive-analytical method.</p> Manuscript profile
