Abstract:

In 1736, the Rare Shah Caferity, which was elected by the Iranian Person, was declared the official religion of the state. So he wanted to eradicate the tension between the Shiite and the Sunni people living in his own country. He also thought to end the conflict between the Safevis and the Ottoman State that has been on the ground for centuries due to the religious confession. Rare Shah therefore greatly emphasized the official recognition of the Caferi mosque by the Ottoman State and the right to pray with the community in the Cave to be given to the Cafer. He also demanded the release of the Iranian prisoners in his Ottoman country and that the Iranian hacks go and come with comfort like other Muslims. The Ottomans accepted the demands of the Rare Shah concerning prisoners and hacks, but they did not accept the demands concerning the disciples. The Ottoman Ulema and the state men believed that if the right to pray with the community was recognized to the Caferiles in the Cave, it would mutate and lead to the fate in the public and the reputation of the state would be devastated. They also believed that Caferi Mezhebi was not a genuine religion. Rare Shah in 1743 gathered the Shiite and Sunni religious men in Necef and published a statement that the Caferî mosque was a genuine mosque. But the Ottomans did not recognize this statement. Rare Shah fought with the Ottoman State between 1743-1746. Despite the victory of the Rare Shah against the Ottoman in 1746, he was forced to give up his demands on the subject of the discipline.
