The Role of Al-Alama Al-Hilli and “Buraq Baba” in Forming Iranian Shiite Culture A comparative study

Abstract

Some researchers confirm that the sect of Sultan Khadabandeh, and making it an official sect in Iran, was due to the scientific debates between Al-Alama Al-Hilli and Nizamuddin Abd al-Malik al-Maraghi who is one of the great Shafei scholars. There were also scholars such as Judith Pfeiffer that confirmed the meeting of the Sultan Aljaitu with mystical figures and Sufism sheikhs such as Azbek Khan, Sayyid Atta, and Barakat Khan Al-Kabeer. It also emphasized the role of "Buraq Baba", the famous Sufism one in the Ilkhanid era (622-655 AH) in the sect of the Sultan, Sheikh Baba is considered one of the favorites of the Geetu, and he was in the Ilkhanid court for a period of time.
Pfeiffer claimed that the Shi'ite tendencies of the Jaito stem from knowledge related to the incarnation and incarnation in Shi'ism, and the idea of Shi'ite guardianship and its likeness to the guardianship found in the Mughal culture. This study deals with the role of Al-Alama al-Hilli and Buraq Baba in cultural influence and the formation of Shi'ism in Iran.
