Abstract

Almost simultaneously with the formation of the three governments of the Shahian system, Qutb Shahian and Adel Shahian in Deccan, the Safavid government came to power in Iran. The choice of the Shiite religion by this powerful regional government and factors such as the migration of Shiites to Deccan led to the spread of Shiism in that land. On the other hand, the acquisition of court positions by a number of Shiite elites in these courts had a profound effect on domestic politics as well as regional relations. One of the influential people of the Shah's regime is Shah Tahir. This research uses the method of historical research which is based on description and analysis and based on library sources to explain Shah Tahir's position in Deccan and his religious, political and cultural influences in the court of the Shahian system and the results of his actions in spreading Shiism. Examines.
The findings show that the presence of Shah Tahir is one of the important reasons for the promotion of Shiism in the Deccan.
In addition to inviting Shiite scholars from Shiite lands, he authored various books and taught so that all of the capital's scholars attended his lectures in Ahmadnagar. His closeness to the government and the support of the Safavids helped his efforts to spread Shiism
