About Khvajeh Ali Safavi
Lived 1368 – 1429 (aged 60–61). Khvajeh Ali Safavi was a religious leader and mystic.
Khvajeh Ali Safavi (; died 1427) was a son of Sadr al-Dīn Mūsā and grandson of Safi-ad-din Ardabili. He assumed leadership of the Safavid order after his father's death. According to Rudi Matthee / Encyclopedia Iranica, under Khvajeh Ali, the convictions of the Safavid order apparently shifted towards Shia Islam "under the influence of their main supporters—Turkmen tribes who adhered to a popular brand of Shiʿism". Originally (i.e. prior to Khvajeh Ali), the order seemingly bore "Sunni convictions".
