  Shiism is an inseparable, strongly-rooted part of Islam. Shiism is the outcome of the conditions, factors, and events that took place after Prophet Mohammad’s (PBUH) demise and what happened in the first century after Hijrat. Saqifeh community, the third Caliph being killed, Siffin War events, the emergence of Khawarij and Imam Hussain’s (PBUH) martyrdom, and the emergence of Tavabyn have been among the effective factors in the formation of Shiism. From the very beginning of Shiism, Iranians were specifically interested in it, and during the centuries after Islam, Shia was active in some regions in Iran.  It was not till the beginning of the tenth century that the Safavid Shah Ismail announced it to be the official religion of Iran and expanded it in most regions of the country. Along with these specific religious conditions in Iran, Persian literature, especially poetry that enjoyed Hindi- (Esfahani-) style in this period, experienced changes among which Panegyric and elegy related to the  Shia’s Imams were considered as new issues, something which is more or less seen in the Divans of most of the poets. This paper tries to examine this phenomenon, that is, the influence of Shiism on the poetry of the Safasvid era.   Manuscript profile

  Aesthetics is somehow engaged in the thoughts of urban planners and architects. Aesthetics is a complex subject that adheres to individual and group tastes complied with a coherent and theoretical framework. The impressions of the various and contrasting aspects of the beautification of urban spaces, in addition to raising the costs of the city, have caused confusion in the aesthetic field of urban planning and architecture. This article deals with what aesthetics in urban planning necessarily involves, which factors one has to deal with, or what kind of sources are used. In this article, the tendencies of theorists in aesthetics in the period of the Safavid and Renaissance in Europe based on the analysis of  Naqsh-e-Jahan Square of Isfahan and  St. Peter's Square in Italy in Rome were selected and studied. Then the adaptation and proximity of the features of the aesthetics have been evaluated applying the methodology of using qualitative and quantitative analysis. Based on the results of the questionnaires and findings, a tangible relationship between the aesthetic thoughts and ideas and the urban spaces designed in both Squares were observed. So, it was concluded that the beautification of urban spaces requires the backing of philosophical and aesthetic ideas, as well as a public art movement in the creation of urban spaces.   Manuscript profile
