Firuzshah Zarrin-Kolah (Persian: فیروزشاه زرین کلاه, lit. 'King Firuz of the Golden Crown') was a Kurdish dignitary and seventh in the ancestral lineage of Safi-ad-Din Ardabili, the eponym of the Safavid dynasty ruling Safavid Iran.




Genealogy



In the pre-Safavid written work Safvat as-safa, whose oldest extant manuscripts date to 1485 and 1491, the origin of the Safavid dynasty is traced to Firuzshah Zarin Kollah, who is called a Kurd from Sanjār, while in the post-Safavid manuscripts, this portion "Kurd from Sanjār" has been excised. Firuzshah Zarin Kollah is made a descendant of the Twelve Imams. The male lineage of the Safavid family given by the oldest manuscript of the Safwat al-Safa is:"[Sheykh] Safi al-Din Abul-Fatah Ishaaq the son of Al-Shaykh Amin al-Din Jebrail the son of al-Salah Qutb al-Din Abu Bakr the son of Salâh al-Din Rashid the son of Muhammad al-Hafiz al-Kalâm Allah, the son of ‘Avâd the son of Birûz (Pirûz) al-Kurdi al-Sanjāri.

Firuz Shah likely migrated from Kurdistan to the region of Ardabil in the 11th century.
After the establishment of Safavid rule, official genealogies traced the lineage of Firuz Shah Zarrin-Kolah to the seventh of the Twelver Imams, Musa al-Kazim. In the Silsilat-an-Nasab-i Safaviya, composed during the reign of Suleiman I (1667–1694) and written by Shah Hussab ibn Abdal Zahidi, the ancestry of the Safavid is traced back to Ali. The origins of the family of Safi-al-Din go back not to Hijaz but to Kurdistan, from where, seven generations before him, Firuz Shah Zarrin-kulah had migrated to Azerbaijan.
