        1 - Religious Conflicts in Nāßir al-dīn Shāh Era (1848-1896)

        The society of Nāsir al-dīn Shāh Period experienced the most quarrels, riots and religious conflicts. Some of those religious conflicts were the continuation of previous traditions and some included new and disruptive ideas. In the present article with a descriptive-analytical method, attempt to answer this question that what was the religious structure of the Iranian society during Naser al-din Shah era and why did it lead to conflicts and group protests in the cities of Iran? The findings of the research indicate that the religious conflicts of the that period can be analyzed in three separate ways on the basis of historical and social contexts and processes; The ongoing conflict between the Heidaris and the Nematis in some Iranian cities, which were used by rulers and other power agents to achieve their goals, religious conflicts between Muslims and religious minorities such as Zoroastrian and Jews, who was influenced by the religious atmosphere of the society and the religious prejudices of the Shiites. These types of conflicts remained in the same local area. The government and local rulers took action to end them in order to prevent the continuation of those conflicts, but the third type of religious conflicts of the era had a different nature and it can be referred to as a religious protest that was formed against the official religion of Iran and the government. Although this protest started before the beginning of the Naser al-din shah reign and affected the intellectual and political atmosphere of some cities, it challenged the religious foundations of the society and the legitimacy of the Qajar rule. Therefore, it was suppressed by the persuasion of Shia’a scholars and the actions of the central government. Manuscript profile

        2 - Environmental Review in Renovating Dilapidated Urban Areas to Increase Local Security (The Case of Nematabad, 19th Municipality of Tehran)
        Hadise Asgari Tafreshi Bahman Adib Zade Mojtaba Rafiyan Seyed Ebrahim Hooseini

          Physical, economical, social Inattentiveness beside vanished sense of attachment have prepared way for social harms in dilapidated areas. Thus, one of the primary objectives in residential or commercial architecture is preservation of “peace and safety” which can solely be achieved through the expansion of physical “security”. Researches have shown that the proper design and effective use of the built environment can lead to a reduction in both the opportunity for crime and fear of crime. Through their involvement in design can influence the creation of safer neighborhoods and communities. Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) approach may pave the way for alleviation and prevention of urban crimes, including dilapidated ones, by using general elements such as mixed land use, provision of predictable routes, proper urban lighting, creation of defensible spaces, etc... . CPTED is part of a comprehensive approach to crime prevention. By emphasizing modifications to the physical environment, it complements community-based policing, Block Watch, and social programs that address some of the root causes of criminal behavior.   There are four primary obstacles to the adoption of CPTED. First is a lack of knowledge of CPTED by environmental designers, land managers, and individual community members. For this reason, allocating substantial resources to community educational programs are often required. The second major obstacle is resistance to change. Many specifically resist the type of cooperative planning that is required to use CPTED. Beyond that, skeptics reject the research and historic precedents that support the validity of CPTED concepts. The third obstacle is the perception that CPTED claims to be a panacea for crime that will be used to displace other more traditional approaches rather than a small complementary tool in deterring offender behavior. The fourth obstacle is that many existing built areas were not designed with CPTED in mind, and modification would be expensive, politically difficult, or require significant changes in some areas of the existing built environment.   CPTED works best when fully supported by the community. Other key partners include: neighborhood residents: who can make their communities safer through participation in the development and implementation of CPTED-based strategies for crime prevention new home buyers: who can ask for a home built to CPTED principles apartment building managers: who can organize the safety of tenants   elected officials: who can encourage the integration of CPTED principles into official plans, zoning by-laws and development permits   police officers: who can conduct CPTED assessments in existing neighborhoods and review applications for new developments   insurance companies: who can offer discounts for safe designs Nematabad as a dilapidated urban area with vast abandoned lands has crucial problems in terms of crime rate and its spread throughout public areas. Therefore, the present paper with collection of existing data for given area and certain questioners filled out by residents that processed via GIS and SPSS as comprehensible graphic maps, tries to explore complex areas and categorizes their specifications, in addition to introducing their generative factors and the environmental design approach to regularize these areas.

        God has assumed daily portion (income) not only for human beings but for all beings, with the difference that the breadth of human daily portion has various factors, many of which are related to their performance. Worldly daily portion in the Qur'an includes the necessities of life and spiritual daily portion has many examples such as blessed life. In the Holy Qur'an, human behavior towards fasts is involved in their continuation, expansion, interruption and receipt; This is also the case in The Bible, and since the nature of Islam, Judaism, and Christianity are the same, the teachings of these religions, which are created in their heavenly books, have similarities. This article studies the factors of receiving and expanding daily portion in the Qur'an and The Bible in a comparative-analytical manner. God has introduced the Qur'an and the covenants of daily portion, and one of the most important factors in expanding daily portion in both is obedience to God, and one of the most important factors in lacking it, is disobedience to divine commands.

        One of the most used methods in educational and moral teachings is the use of allegory. Poets and writers have always tried to convey rational, mental, and abstract concepts to their readers and audiences effectively and efficiently with the help of allegory. Indian-style poets used it in their writings considerably. What has also made a tremendous impact in educational literature, is the use of allegory to teach ethics and give advice. Nemat Khan Aali Shirazi was a famous poet of the Indian court in the 11th and 12th centuries of Hijri. And because it is necessary to examine the use of allegory, and its various functions in a literary work, the purpose of this research is to study the use of allegory in Nemat Khan Aali's poems to express moral concepts. In this research, we are looking for the answer to the role of allegory in Nemat Khan Aali's poems. And which of the types of allegory has he used more to express moral concepts? And how successful he has been? Although many books and articles have been written about allegory and its use in poets' divans, so far no article has been published about the use of allegory in Nemat Khan Aali's poems. This research has been done in library-style and case-study methods and has a descriptive-analytical approach. Based on the findings of this research, among the types of short (descriptive) allegories, he has paid more attention to allegorical similes and equation styles. Manuscript profile

        Allegory is one of the most important expressing arrays. Allegory is an inferential artistic and skillful style, with the aim of better transferring of concepts and meanings to the addressees. The definitions by the scholars about allegory are somewhat different with each other. Some consider it as complex metaphor with pseudo-complex form, some have placed idioms in the group of metaphors, and some have regarded styles and some others have considered metaphoric stories as allegories. Despite all the differences, authors have considered mystic allegoric narratives about thankfulness and ingratitude, with precision. Ingratitude indicates ignoring the blessings by the beneficent, and it has considerations that are divided into verbal gratitude for confessing the blessings, cordial thankfulness for God’s blessings and practical thanking regarding obedience to the beneficent. Thanking is analyzed in the rational domain and is one of the mystic aspects. To express reprehension of ingratitude, mystics have benefitted from allegories. The structures of the mentioned allegories have two upper and lower layers. In the lower layer, i.e. in the depth, the upper layer attains meaningful extensions, causing the inclusion to be increased. It is why that allegory is appropriately referred to as the extensive metaphor or the paraphrased symbol. Manuscript profile

        As Perfectionism is inherent in human being, paying attention to present a symbol and paradigm of perfect human emerges as an important concept in all of the divine religions and human schools. The perfect ideal human is among the deep-rooted and established topic in Islamic mysticism. Which always have been considered by scholars. This issues along with mono theism principle, from the main core of Islamic mysticism.

He also discusses on intuitive and mystical aspect and then based on inspirational (Vahyani) doctrine. He predicates Elm-al-Asma’e system and through which clarifies the relationship between lord and perfect man and the whole universe. He believes that the perfect human considering Al-Amanat Verse is like a mirror in which God (Allah) observes himself in his being. Because the perfect man is the symbol of divine Asma’e (names) and attributes of God. Perfect man is an intermediate between God and the people. He is the reason of God’s divine grace and help for the world. He is the best and nearest represention of God. So he is the symbol of divine authority (Velayat), A Being-everywhere who is the medium of blessing to all existances in the universe. Manuscript profile

        Poverty as a stage of life is of great importance not only in literature, but also in the mystical field. The seeker in this position achieves the annihilation of God by denying the transcendence of God, which is the ultimate mysticism. This study has analytically-comparatively examined and compared the views of two prominent mystics and poets of the eighth century, Khajuye Kermani and Shah Nematullah Vali, regarding the concept of poverty. Findings show that both poets' view of poverty includes spiritual poverty, which elevates the human spirit to perfection and a high position in relation to richness. The difference is that Khajou has considered material poverty in some verses that have low frequency. He also used other terms in the meaning of poverty, such as: begging, poverty, while Shah Nematullah, in addition to these words, also used the word "dervish" a lot. This kind of application of poverty indicates the diversity of the Sufi language of the two poets in expressing their mystical purpose and the duality of the concept of poverty. Manuscript profile

        Wisdom and love are two basic topic in Shah Nimatullah Wali’s poems. From Wali’s point of view love is such a divine gift placed in human’s inside. It is a medium to arrive to integrity and luck. The basic idea in Shah Nimatullah Wali’s doctrine is intuition, not logic. Pantheism is reflected frequently in his speech that is under the influence of Ibn Al- Arabi’s thoughts. Shah Wali disagree with materialistic nous and thrift like Attar Neishabury. He belives that wisdom can’t comprehend with love, and it is an abstacle (hijab) to arrive to cognition and true love. On the contrary, he belives that the Universal Intelect ( Aghl-e Kolli) is vicar of God. He worships it and belives that the Universal Intelect as the first creature acts as a collaborator for love. As a result, he confirms that Wisdom is combined to love and mystical madness and there is no conflict between them.

        AbstractNizam al-Din Mahmud, nicknamed Da'i Ali Allah, nicknamed Da'i (810-870 AH) was one of the poets and mystics of the 9th century of Hijri, whose lineage reached Husayn bin Ali bin Abi Talib through nineteen intermediaries. He was both a scholar and mystic. The works that remain in memory of him show two aspects of him. In examining his works, the influence of Maulana Jalaluddin Muhammad Balkhi and Ibn Arabi is clearly evident. In addition, he wrote a book titled Nasayem Golshan, which is a detailed description of Golshan, the secret of Sheikh Mahmoud Shabastri. In addition to relatively many works that have come down to us from him, Divan has a collection of poetry that amounts to thirteen thousand verses. This diwan was printed and published by Seyyed Mohammad Dabir Siyaghi in 1339 and 1349 A.H. in two volumes. The first volume of this work is a collection of six poems in the form of Masnavi, which includes his most important thoughts. In this article, which has been done in a descriptive-analytical way and we have used library sources, we intend to introduce Shah Dai Shirazi's life along with his life. The results obtained from this article show that Shah Da'i is one of the poets and mystics who were influenced by Ibn Arabi, and his poetry, which is sometimes written in symbolic language, has significant innovations that preceded him. It was not common in Masnavi Sarai.Keywords: Shah Daei Shirazi, Sete Daei, Shah Nematullah Wali Manuscript profile

These two groups were been in dispute with each other because of religious-political reasons, hence all of big cities in Iran ( in Safavi and Qajar era) were divided into two Heidari and Nemati poles and there were always struggles and wars between these two poles. Despite these struggles, sometime they united with each othe. For example in Tabriz in Mashroote period they put aside their disputes and fought against inbound dictatorship and colonization. So the most intense disputes used to happen in religion related days specially Ashoura. In these days  each of these groups had their own specific slogan and poems. For example Heidarian group used to use sentence of “Heidar,Safdar,Ali” and Nemati group used to use sentnse of “Mohammad is he and Ali” for salutation to Prophet`s family. In Tabriz Neighborhoods, disputes between Heidari and Nemati groups during Qajar era were less than Safavi era. The reason probably was Russo-Persian Wars which made unity between groups.

        Nazarbāzi is one of the most frequent themes in Persian romantic and mystical literature, which is reflected in the works of many great Persian writers. According to some mystics, nazarbāzi refers to a kind of mystical experience in which the mystic reaches a state where he looks at everything, sees God and His manifestations and loves them. Among these mystics are Khwaju Kermani and Shah Nimatullah Wali that in their poems, nazarbāzi can be divided into spiritual and worldly. The purpose of this study is to compare and explain the similarities and differences between the concept of nazarbāziin the poems of these two mystics. The research is done by using descriptive-analytical method. The results of the research show that Shah Nematullah Wali, by watching beautiful faces, looks at the image of God's beauty and his opinion does not refer to physical beauty. But according to Khwaju Kermani, the reason for man to enjoy the blessing of sight is to look at his beloved, and for this reason, most of his poems, related to nazarbāzi, are addressed to the earthly beloved.
