Islamic architectural studies of Iran, despite numerous research and studies, have many shortcomings and it can be seen the significant gaps in it that is one of the reasons for these monstrosities, is low attention of writers and researchers to the Tremendous Cultural-Artistic Treasures of various regions of Iran, especially the land of Azerbaijan. Therefore it is necessary to carry out more analytical and all-embracing research on the Islamic architecture of Azerbaijan, taking into account the importance of this land in the architecture of the Islamic world. In this research, through library and field studies and with and analytical approach, the evolution of history, technical developments, styles and schools, and features of Islamic Azeri architecture from the beginning of the Seljuk period to the end of the Teymourain era, as well as the influence of the architectural styles of Azerbaijan on other architectural practices Islamic lands in the centurial have been studied and analyzed. The few works left in the Seljuk period in Azerbaijan represent the architectural adventures of this period. Several architectural schools, such as the school of architecture of Shirvan and Maragheh Nakhichevan, began to work later on, which in fact form the basis of the architectural style of Azerbaijan in the later periods. But the peak of the flourishing and uplifting art of Azerbaijan art dates from the time of the Ilkhani and Timuri era, whose masterpieces at this time influenced the architecture of the other Islamic lands,and many examples are inspired by Azerbaijan architecture in Transoxiana, Egypt, the Ottoman Empire, and even several centuries later in India.
