Sample text

The Ottomans saw this accord as a formal instrument to reestablish the basic relationship that had existed between Iran and the Ottoman Empire in Safavid times. Its second article stated that copies of imperial letters that the Safavids had sent to the Ottomans, copies of which the Afghans did not possess, ought to be sent to them, so that the Afghans “would send their own letters with the same respect and attention . . 55 Upon agreeing to the text of a peace accord with the Afghans (even though the agreement was never formally ratified by either side), the Ottomans succeeded in tabling troublesome discussion about the nature of their ties to Iran if only for a limited time.

45 The Afghan clerics’ letter maintained that since Isfahan and Istanbul were located in noncontiguous climes, this rule should also apply to the ruler of Iran. ” One definition of “imam” was “ruler of a discrete Muslim area who did not pay tribute to or consider himself the vassal of another Muslim ruler”: a description of the Mughal Emperor’s status, for instance. ” However, the legal references they invoked to defend the legitimacy Legitimacy during the Safavid and Afghan Eras / 27 of multiple independent imams were theoretical constructs, based on creative new readings of medieval Islamic political philosophy and theory.

Sultan Mahmud I would not ratify it, however. Only three years after being put on the throne with the support of the Ottoman ulema in the wake of the Patrona Halil rebellion, itself the direct result of a dispute that arose over the mobilization of forces against Iran, Mahmud no doubt wished to proceed with extreme caution in agreeing to any accord that would authorize the surrender of territory to his eastern neighbor. The negotiations connected with this agreement offered early evidence of how Nadir had begun to explore new concepts of royal legitimacy, perhaps in anticipation of soon acquiring even greater power and authority.
