Abstract

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Drunkenness and Intoxication are two types of Sufi politics and moods, which are also interpreted as drunkenness and consciousness. Drunkenness indicates the state of Sufi ecstasy and drowning of the seeker in divine love, and Intoxication is the Sufi consciousness in the order before drunkenness or after which the seeker has a human face. There is disagreement among Sufis over the precedence of the two. Sheikh Safi al-Din Ardabili was one of the followers of Junaid and believed in the precedence of Intoxication over Drunkenness. Although the sheikh was from Sahwa, he was no stranger to drunkenness in the form of ecstasy and listening. Sheikh Safi"s followers were also on his school, and this went on among the followers of Sheikh Safi"s children and grandchildren until the time of Khajeh Ali, but after that, a change in this concept took place and "Sufi", in Sheikh Safi"s school, gradually found another meaning. Appeared. The present study seeks to find the cause of this change and how.

METHODOLOGY: The results of this research have been obtained in a descriptive manner based on library resources from mystical and historical sources.

FINDINGS: The findings of this study show that the tendency of the Safavids to power and their efforts in this direction helped to change the concept of these two states and with the Safavids coming to power and the need for property and administrative institutions, The government as well as the religious system were restricted until it reached its peak at the end of the Safavid dynasty.

CONCLUSION: Drunkenness and Intoxication, which were two Sufi states, were also common among the Safavids with a slight difference in their precedence and latency. With the coming to power of the Safavid monarchy, necessities were created for the Safavids to be serious in eliminating and abandoning these customs.
