Abstract

Some Sufis have written works to explain the opinions and thoughts of the Sheikhs of Sufi orders. The Treatise on the Beliefs of the Saints of Seven is one of these works. This treatise is a philosophical, mystical and theological Tazkera with a Shiite flavor about the opinions and opinions of important and influential elders of the Zahidiya and Safavid sects such as Sheikh Ibrahim Zahid Gilani and Sheikh Safiuddin Ishaq Ardabili. This manuscript treatise was written by Sultan Mahmud Zahedi, one of the mystics of the Zahedi family, in the Azerbaijani Turkish language at the end of the 8th century of Hijri. In fact, the beliefs of the Saints of Seven reflect the philosophical, mystical and religious beliefs of the author's fathers and ancestors, Sheikh Ibrahim Zahid Gilani, Sheikh Safiuddin Ardabili and other Sheikhs of the Zahidiya and Safavid dynasty, and the author himself. The purpose of this research is to introduce and examine the treatise on the beliefs of the Saints of Seven and its place in understanding the opinions and thoughts of the sheikhs of the Zahidiyya and Safavid sects regarding philosophical, mystical issues and the principles of the beliefs of the Imamiyya Shia religion. The present research with these questions; What are the contents and themes of the said treatise? What similarities does this work have with Al-Buyruq's treatise? It is trying to answer the mentioned questions with a descriptive-analytical approach based on the manuscript of the treatise on the beliefs of the Saints of Seven.
