Safavid Rule
During the 15th century several competing families and tribes, mostly of Turkic origins, ruled over various parts of
در طي قرن پانزدهم چندين قبيله و خاندان رغيب با هم كه اغلب از مناطق ترك زبان بودند بر بخش هايي مختلفي از ايران حكومت كردند . خاندان برجسته و مهم بين آنها صفوي ها بودند كه توسط يه رهبر صوفي جنگ طلب به نام شيخ صفي الدين دراردبيل درشمال غربي ايران در اوايل قرن چهاردهم رهبري مي شدند . يكي از نوادگانش به نام اسماعيل اول ابتدا تبريز و سپس بقيه ايران را فتح كرد . در سال 1501 او خود را شاه اعلام كرد ، شاه عنواني است كه معمولا براي حاكمان ايران در دوران قبل از اسلام استفاده مي شد . اين كار او شروع سلسله صفويه را نشان مي دهد و اين اولين بار پس از قرن هفدهم بود كه همه ايران در زير لواي يك حكومت غير وابسته با هم متحد مي شدند . شاه اسماعيل مذهب شيعه جعفري را پذيرفت و ان را مذهب رسمي در ايران اعلام كرد و شروع به تبديل جمع كثير سني مذهب به مكتب شيعه كرد .
Before the phantom of False morning died,
Methought a Voice within the Tavern cried,
"When all the Temple is prepared within,
"Why nods the drowsy Worshiper outside?"
An adjective modifies a noun or a pronoun by describing, identifying, or quantifying words. An adjective usually precedes the noun or the pronoun which it modifies.
In the following examples, the highlighted words are adjectives:
- The truck-shaped balloon floated over the treetops.
- Mrs. Morrison papered her kitchen walls with hideous wall paper.
- The small boat foundered on the wine dark sea.
- The coal mines are dark and dank.
- Many stores have already begun to play irritating Christmas music.
- A battered music box sat on the mahogany sideboard.
- The back room was filed with large, yellow rain boots.
- Mrs. Morrison papered her kitchen walls with hideous wall paper.
An adjective can be modified by an adverb, or by a phrase or clause functioning as an adverb. In the sentence
- My husband knits intricately patterned mittens.
for example, the adverb ``intricately'' modifies the adjective ``patterned.''
Some nouns, many pronouns, and many participle phrases can also act as adjectives. In the sentence
- Eleanor listened to the muffled sounds of the radio hidden under her pillow.
for example, both highlighted adjectives are past participles.
Grammarians also consider articles (``the,'' ``a,'' ``an'') to be adjectives.
Turks and Mongols
In the 11th century Turkic tribes began migrating to

ترك ها و مغول ها
در قرن يازدهم قبايل ترك شروع به مهاجرت به ايران كردند و اولين گروه انها در شمال غربي ساكن شدند . تركان سلجوقي ( سلجوقي ها را ببينيد ) كه در قرن دهم به اسلام تسنن درآمده بودند ، قوانين محلي را از بين بردند و سلسله اي را تأسيس كردند كه تا زمان هجوم مغول ها در قرن سيزدهم بر اغلب نقاط كشور حكمراني مي كرد . حكومت مغول ها براي ايران بسيار مصيبت بار بود . مغول ها شهر هاي مهم ايران از قبيل اردبيل ، همدان ، مراغه ، نيشابور و قزوين را تخريب كردند و تقريبا تمامي ساكنين اين شهر ها را به بهانه مجازات براي مقاومت كشتند . ري و طوس ، شهر هاي بسيار مهم و بزرگ ايران ، توسط مغول ها تخريب شد و هرگز بازسازي نگرديد . مغولها مناطق زيادي خصوصا در خراسان و مازندران با تخريب شبكه هاي آبياري و زمين هاي كشاورزي تاراج كردند . حكومت خشن مغول ها باعث كاهش اقتصاد مداوم ايران در كل قرن سيزدهم گرديد .
قبل از سال 1297 حاكمان ايراني مغول كه پيروان شمانيسم ( جادوگري و كاهني ) و آيين بودا بودند دين اسلام را نپذيرفتند . بي علاقگي رسمي يا خصومت آشكار آنها نسبت به اسلام باعث تبديل برادري و اخوت صوفي ها به سازمان هاي شبه نظامي مذهبي گرديد.
اگر چه به تظاهر اهل تسنن ، بسياري از اين برادري ها با مدارا در مقابل ايده هاي شيعيان افزايش يافته است ، حتي اين ايده ها در سيستم عقايد خودشان نيز آميخته شده است .
در سال 1295 غازان خان حاكم مغول خودش به كيش اسلام در آمد ، اسلام را به عنوان دين رسمي ايران اعلام كرد ، به علاوه رشد عقايد اسلامي نوين را تقويت كرد .
غازان خان وجانشينان بلافصل او سياست هايي را پذيرفتندكه ركود اقتصادي ايران را بهبود بخشيد . در اواخر قرن سيزده و اوايل قرن چهاردهم ، شهر هايي كه از هجوم مغول ها جان سالم به در برده بودند ، از قبيل اصفهان ، شيراز و تبريز به عنوان مراكز جديد توسعه فرهنگي پديدار شدند .
اگر چه از سال 1335 تا 1380 نزاع هاي داخلي اقتدار حكومت مركزي را ضعيف مرد ، در بين سال هاي 1381 و 1405 تهاجم تامرلين كشور گشاي ترك تعدا زيادي از شهرهاي ايران را ويران كرد . و اغلب فعاليت هايي را كه غازان خان به آنها دست يافته بود را خنثي كرد .
