The continuous support of Iranians for the Shia religion in the Timurid to Qajar periods caused prayers and hadiths related to imams to be a valuable subject for the occupation of calligraphers and inscribers; hence, the artists used these subjects to decorate practical objects and dishes such as plates, bowls, and candlesticks made of metal, marble, stone, wood and fabric. For this reason, in Islamic Iran from the 15th to 19th centuries (9th to 13th Hegira), Shi’ah themes gradually became the mainstay of artists' work. They used calligraphy and inscription in applied arts not only as a decorative element, but also as a tool to propagate and strengthen the high values of Shiism. Among the religious subjects used in the calligraphy of practical works of these historical periods, mentioning the name of Ali (PBUH), the first Imam of Shiites, is one of the examples of the association between art and religion. Mentioning his name alone or next to Allah, Mohammad (PBUH) and the Infallibles, two Shiite martyrdoms, the hadiths of the Prophet in his Manqbat, and parts of the graceful prayer of Nad-e Ali prayer are among the topics that not only show devotion to this holy Imam, but also reveals the tendency of Iranian towards the Shi’ah beleif. The method of data collection is documentary and library research and the method of organizing the article is descriptive, analytical and historical.
