Jām’e Fath, Nad Ali's poetry robe or Ayat al-Kursi, is basically a kind of amulet and talisman, and it has been common among kings and generals to wear it since the Safavid period. This garment was worn under armor during wars, and it was believed that having it with you gives you supernatural powers and protects its owner from any calamities. Currently, a sample of the Safavid conquest robe is kept in the National Museum of Iran, which according to its figure belongs to Shah Abbas the Great in the 11th century AH.
