Taṣavvuf dar savāḥil-i Khalīj-i Fārs

This posthumous scholarly work by Aḥmad Iqtidārī, a renowned historian of the southern coastlands of Īrān, offers a detailed historical investigation into the prevalence and influence of Sufism (Taṣavvuf) across the savāḥil-i Khalīj-i Fārs. Published in Tihrān by Hamsāyah in 2025, the text explores the social and religious impact of major Sufi orders such as the Qādirī, Rifā‘ī, and Naqshbandī in regions including Lāristān, Bastak, and Bandar Khamīr. Iqtidārī scrutinises the genealogy of key figures like Shāh Sayf Allāh Qattāl and analyses the role of Sufi lodges (khānaqāhs) in maintaining social harmony between Shī‘ah and Sunnī populations. Edited by Umīd Iqtidārī with contributions from local researchers, this volume serves as both a historical record and a methodological model for local historiography in southern Īrān.
