In this episode of Into Persian, we’ll travel back more than 500 years to explore one of the most important turning points in Iranian history — the rise of the Safavid Empire.
You’ll discover how a 14-year-old boy named Shah Ismail I transformed a small Sufi order in Ardebil into a powerful empire that united Iran and made Shi’a Islam the official religion of the country.

This story isn’t just history — it’s a lesson in faith, identity, and transformation, told in simple Persian with clear narration to help you learn the Persian language through real stories.

By listening and understanding the rhythm of the words, you’ll not only improve your Persian comprehension but also connect deeply with the culture behind it. 🌸
