N2  - Hurufism, an Iranian movement during the Timurid dynasty, was founded based on exaggerative and eclectic beliefs in the intrinsic meaning of the Persian or Arab alphabets concerned with the commentary of the Quran, creativity of human beings and other creatures, as well as personality and instructions of Fazlullah Naeimi Astarabadi (796/ 1394). A disparty of factors contribute to the formation of movements. The denominational Hurufism was founded under Fazollah Astarabadi’s leadership following people movements in the late 8th-early 9th century, which attracted a multitude of followers in Iran and many parts of the world through its thoughts. People, at the time of the advent of the movement, lacked piety and purity that were considered as the leading characters of Fazl and his followers. The manner of Hurrufism is completely evident in the number of their remnant works and life stories. Instructions and ideology of the movement were a mixed bag of different ideas; to put it simply, the knowledge of Fazl about the beliefs of his time led to practising a new religion which was well-known for Hurufism due to its emphasize on the mysticism of letters and superiority of word over meaning. The movement also had different thoughts compared to beliefs of its time. The present article aimed to study the history of Hurufism by taking the advantage of remnant works regarding the movement‎‎‎.
