Ebrahim Khan Zahir od-Dowleh ((ペルシア語:ابراهیم خان)) was an Iranian military officer from the Qajar dynasty. He is mostly known for his 22-year-old governorship of the Kerman Province (1803-1824). == Life == Ebrahim Khan was from the Qawanlu branch of the Qajar family; he was the son of Mehdi-Qoli Khan, who was the brother of the Qajar ruler Mohammad Khan Qajar, and thus a paternal uncle of Fath-Ali Shah. Ebrahim Khan's mother was Asia Khanum, who was daughter of a certain Mohammad Khan Qawanlu. The date of Ebrahim Khan's birth is unknown, but he is known to have been a child when his father died during the siege of Astarabad in 1783 by the Zand ruler Karim Khan. After the early death of Ebrahim Khan's father, Mohammad Khan married his mother, and then treated and raised Ebrahim Khan as one of his own sons along with his two nephews Fath-Ali Shah and Hosayn-Qoli Khan. In 1791, Ebrahim Khan married Fath-Ali Shah's eldest daughter Homayun Soltan. On 17 June 1797, Mohammad Khan died and was succeeded by Fath-Ali Shah, who held Ebrahim Khan highly esteem and gave him the honorific title of "Zahir od-Dowleh" and "Ebrahim Khan-e Amu". Ebrahim was around this time appointed as the governor of Khorasan. In 1803, Ebrahim Khan was appointed as the governor of Kerman, a region which had been subject to destruction by Mohammad Khan and was troubled by the local rulers of the province. Ebrahim Khan greatly paid respect the province, and in the words of Mehrnoush Soroush, "undertook a comprehensive restoration plan and was remarkably successful in reconstructing socio-economic infrastructure and maintaining the political stability of Kerman and its surrounding regions." He also requested Fath-Ali Shah to temporally free the province from tax in order to restore the economy of the province. Furthermore, Ebrahim Khan also successfully fought against the local rulers of the region, and thus secured the province from trouble, which the province able to resume trade. However, Ebrahim Khan also needed great manpower in order to restore the economy of the province, but because of the great population loss of the province during the campaigns of Mohammad Khan, Ebrahim Khan was forced to ask for help from the inhabitants of the provinces close to Kerman, and managed to make many resettle in Kerman. Furthermore, he patronized Islamic schools and invited religious scholars from Khuzestan, Fars, and Khorasan. Some of these religious scholars were Shaikh Ne'mat-Allah Bahrayni, Shaikh Abd al-Hosayn Ahsa'i, Molla Ali A'ma, and Sayyed Kazem Rashti. Not only did he patronize religious scholars, but also did the same with poets, and himself made some poems under the pen name of Toghrol. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ebrahim Khan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
