Abstract
As a group with attributes and attractions such as asceticism and piety, and sometimes possessing the discovery of virtues as well as significant religious and moral information, they are considered as a special group of the society. Naturally, the direction of their intellectual and cultural movement can be considered as one of the important indicators of the intellectual and cultural state of the society. On the other hand, in the Shiraz area during the Islamic period, at least since the beginning of the third century of the Hijri, we have witnessed the presence and activity of a Shiite Sufism and at least a Shia Sufism, which has been active almost all the time. Based on this research, what is obtained is that there are many branches of Sufis who, in addition to the cloak, have traced their line of elders to one of the Imams of Athar. And sometimes they have expressed their love and affection for the Atrat family by expressing the virtues of the infallible imams (peace be upon them), and among them there are prominent figures who have had an impact on people's thinking.
The purpose of this research is to know the role of Sufiya in the expansion of Shiism in Shiraz from the beginning to the rise of Safavid.
