Abstract

According to the epistemological foundation of Iranshahri political thought, establishing court order was a necessary principle. For the realization of Shah Farahmand, it was necessary to separate the forces of the army, religion, and court and to bring them into order by the minister. But the influence of these forces, especially during the crisis of succession, was always a factor in disrupting the order of the court. One of the challenges of the ministry was maintaining the balance of power. But with the arrival of Turkish and Mongolian traditions and the presence of court ladies, their power to interfere in court affairs created a critical condition for the continuation of Iranshahri political thought. The actions of the ministers in the face of the crisis, the involvement of women was necessary and due to the importance of the Indraznameh method, it led to the emergence of numerous literary and artistic works.
During the reign of Sultan Hossein Baiqara, this crisis also occurred and was effective in the collapse of the Timurid dynasty. Due to the necessity of facing this crisis, many edicts were created to make the Sultan understand. The publication of Yusuf and Zuleikha by Kamaluddin Behzad was considered important and necessary, considering the importance of this story in the tradition of writing and considering the necessity of using aesthetic qualities to draw the Sultan's attention to this crisis. Analytical-descriptive and historical research method and library information collection.
