Khvajeh Ali Safavi (Persian: خواجه علی سیاهپوش; died 1427) was a son of Sadr al-Dīn Mūsā and grandson of Safi-ad-din Ardabili.[1][2] 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".[2] Originally (i.e. prior to Khvajeh Ali), the order seemingly bore "Sunni convictions".[2]
