Abstract :
Statement of the problem: One of the periods of Iran's history before Islam is the Sasanian era, which is considered one of the turning points of Iran's history in terms of time. Because this period of history is the meeting point between Islam and pre-Islam. Purpose: To investigate the political and religious situation of the Sassanid Empire before the Mehr-narseh dynasty. Research method: The current research method is explanatory-analytical and the method of collecting documentary materials and the research tool is FISH. Findings: Ardeshir's politics and statecraft are based on three principles: the concentration of the Sultanate and the unity of the Iranian nation, the cooperation and coordination of the Sultanate and the clergy, and the strengthening of the Mazdisani cult, and the support and supervision of farmers. First, he united with the Zoroastrian clergy and assigned a religious authority and a great scholar named Tansar to compile and collect the sacred texts. After gaining power, Ardeshir considered the unity and integrity of Iran as the most important issue of the country and his mission; Among the other factors of the tendency to unify religion and government was the presence of Far Izdi and dependence on the royal family, including the dependence on the Achaemenid dynasty. Another case in this regard is the compromise and eclecticism in Ayin and Izdan, which is evident in all aspects of Sassanid politics
