From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from History of Imam Reza shrine)

With the establishment of the Safavid dynasty, Shiism was declared the official religion of Iran. In implementing this purpose, the Safavid kings developed the holy places as a place for the Shia people by expanding the culture of endowment and creating endowments. The shrine of Imam Reza in Mashhad, the only tomb of Shia imams in Iran, was the most important religious shrine and the Safavids' focus. The Safavid kings tried to expand it in various ways, including allocating government budgets and endowments and giving ornaments and charity. One of the significant results of their performance was the increase in endowments of the Imam Reza shrine, which continued in the direction of creating a center for the spread of Shia culture, its prosperity, and continuity.

Constitution in Khorasan:

Some believe that the constitution of the north of Iran differed from the constitution of the south. A combination of it can be seen in Tehran's agreement and opposition to the constitution or western and religious interpretation of the constitution.

The city of Mashhad should be considered subordinate to the constitution of the North. Constitutional opponents were also active in this region, and in addition to local issues, foreign factors also contributed to this opposition.

In the challenge between the constitution and the traditional system, Mashhad clerics were also divided into several groups:

The city of Mashhad should be considered subordinate to the constitution of the North. Constitutional opponents were also active in this region, and in addition to local issues, foreign factors also contributed to this opposition. [13]

In the challenge between the constitution and the traditional system, Mashhad clerics were also divided into several groups: [13]

1. Some clerics did not accept constitutionalism from the beginning because of jurisprudence, considered it against Sharia, and even issued a fatwa against it. Seyed Ali Sistani, Seyed Baqer Razavi, Seyed Mohammad Hossein Najafi, and Sheikh Mehdi Warez Khorasani were in this group.[13]

2. Among the scholars of Mashhad, a group of supporters of constitutionalism and spiritual leaders of constitutionalism were considered. One of the pioneers of constitutionalism in Mashhad, who cooperated with the constitutionalists at the request of Akhund Khorasani, was Sheikh Zabihullah Mujtahid Quchani, who made great efforts to attract clerics to cooperate with the constitutionalists. But he did not get much success. In Mashhad, Caucasian, Badkobei, Irvani, Shirvani, and Quchani students accompanied him. Another scholar who made a pact with Quchani and accompanied him was Haj Seyyed Asdaullah Qazvini Mujtahid.[13]

In Mashhad, nobles, families, heads of nomads and clans, and leaders were against the constitution. The financial support of the constitutional movement was undertaken by several Turkish businessmen and several others. From this threshold, only Prince Siraj Al-Sultan, and Imam Juma and from Khorasan Khans, Shuja al-Mulk Hazare, and from customs, Dr. Matin Al-Sultaneh and Prince Arfa Al-Sultan, Mirza Yaqoob Sadr Ulama and Shuja Al-Tawliyeh, and from the pulpits Haj Mullah Bamanali Tehrani known as Haj The researcher cooperated with the supporters of the constitution. Jalil Mirza collaborated with Telegraph Khana. Among the scholars, Hajj Mirza Abulqasem Moin al-Gharba, Hajj Sheikh Hasan Hojjat Kashi, Hajj Sheikh Abdul Rahim Eid Ghahi, Hajj Mirza Abd al-Shakur Agha Tabrizi, Hajj Mirza Muhammad Baqir Modares Razavi, and Mirza Morteza Sarabi supported the constitutional revolution. [13]

3) The third line in Mashhad's constitutional process was Mirza Habibullah Mujtahid, who cautiously had relations with both groups and did not fully accept either of the two currents.[13]

Associations and parties

[edit]

Associations and hidden and open organizations were also considered bases of popular power. At first, Feudullah and the big owners, intellectuals, and sometimes freedom-loving clerics were members of the association. But with the advancement of constitutionalism, workers and farmers also appeared in these associations. Among the most essential and effective associations and parties in Mashhad, the following groups can be mentioned:[13]

1. Twelver Association: led by Haj Asdaullah Qazvini [13]

2. Saadat Association: This association was established in connection with the Istanbul Saadat Association and Bad Kobe freedom fighters in Mashhad, with members from various groups. It lasted for several years and controlled national movements. [13]

3. The Razavi Association: which was headed by Mirza Habibullah Mujtahid. It was formed at the beginning of constitutionalism and was destroyed during the dictatorship.[13]

4. State and Provincial Association: which started in Mashhad under the chairmanship of Mirza Habibullah Mujtahid.[13]

5. The Companions of Saracheh: the people of knowledge and scholars of education and reformers gathered together in a small house near the Goharshad Jame Mosque. And following the Companions of Safa, they called themselves Companions of Saracha and were thinking of reforming the society. Haj Mirza Mojtahed Khorasani, Haj Faconstitutional revolution's victory underzel Khorasani, Seyyed Ali Khan Darghazi, and Seyed Mohammad Amin Al-Hakmai Sabzevari were members of this association. Also, Zain al-Abidin Sabzevari was one of its most influential members.[13]

6. Hizb Mujahid: Hizb Mujahid of Mashhad is the oldest political party in the history of Iran. This party was created with a secret organization before the constitutional revolution's victory under Heydar Khan Amwaughli. Its ideology was influenced by the Hemat Party, a branch of the Russian Social Democratic Party.[14]

7. Two moderate and revolutionary parties were active in Mashhad and called the Democratic Party for a while.[13]
