نقش آل‌مظفر در تمدن اسلامي

The Role of the f Mozaffars in Islamic Civilization

عامل تمدن و فرهنگ همواره يكي از مهم‌ترين و تعيين‌كننده‌ترين عوامل در حيات سياسي ايران بوده است. اين موضوع، حتي با وجود تهاجم اقوامي چون مغولان كه كوچك‌ترين آشنايي با مذهب و تمدن اسلامي را نداشتند تداوم داشت، مغولان افزون بر خرابي‌ها و ويراني‌هايي كه به بار آوردند، حتي به كتابخانه و مراكز علمي هم رحم نكرده و آنها را به آتش كشيدند اما در عين حال، دانشمندان و فرهنگ دوستان به ترميم اين مراكز و احياي آن پرداختند. در واقع، دوره فترتي كه بين ايلخانان و ظهور تيمور، آمد، ايران را با دگرگوني‌هاي سياسي ـ اجتماعي روبه‌رو كرد و باعث پيدايش حكومت‌هايي شد كه عمر برخي به صد سال هم نمي‌كشيد. ما برآنيم نقش آل‌مظفر را در تمدن اسلامي در اين دوره مورد توجه قرار دهيم. اين كار بر اساس شيوه تحقيق كتابخانه‌اي انجام گرفته است.

Civilization and culture have always been the most important and determinant factors in Iranʹs political life. This is evident even during the time when such tribes as Mongols who were known for their unfamiliarity with Islamic religion and civilization had invaded Iran and destroyed everything and they were relentless even to the libraries and scientific centers which they set on fire. The scientists and men of culture of that time strove to have these centers repaired. In fact, Iran experienced socio-political developments during the period between the rule of the Ilkhanids and Teymur’s taking over in 736 -782 ʹAHʹ, i.e. between the time of the death of Ilkhanid Sultan Abu Said and Teymurʹs first attack on Iran, which led to the formation of new states, some of which lasted less than a century. The present paper tries to shed light on one of these states of that period and find the role of the Mozaffars in the Islamic civilization. The research is based on a library-survey method.
