Dervishes of Iran are considered Sufis in the Jirga, who use axes and hatchets in their religious rituals. The reasons for the use of this tool by Dervish are in an aura of ambiguity. Therefore, in this essay, in order to clarify the reasons and the type of operation of this weapon by Dervish, its existential philosophy from the pre- and post-Islamic periods has been discussed by citing documentary information. And by the library method and by the analytical-historical research method, the historical background of the emergence of metal tabrizin in the plateau of Iran has been evaluated first. And with reference to historical documents, the origin and place of the spiritual value of the ax in Dervish culture and belief have been investigated And we are looking to verify this hypothesis that it seems that the ax is a military and ritual tool that was used by the horsemen in the Sassanid era and then by the Sufis in the Islamic era. The result is that dervishes are among the ancient sects and the ax is a sign and evidence of the ancient relationship between dervishes and ancient Iranian rituals.
