Contemporary to Saljooqs (427-590 H.), the Ashraf (Aristocrate) of Hijaz rule (358-1343 H.) was constantly intervened by neighborings for enjoying the authority over the two sancturies ( Haramayn Sharifayn). As Abbasid military supporters and Fatimid rivals, Saljooqs made a great effort to penetrate to the Ashraf’s to make political agreements. Regarding a religious distinction between the two states, this research studies on the reasons and influential elements on making a long lasting affair between Ashraf and Saljooqs. Based on descriptive, analytic and inferential study, the research finds that Saljooqs were not only after legitimacy and after justification for both themselves and Abbasids; they also sought to cut the hands of Fatimids from the two sanctuaries. On the other hand, Ashraf were keen to keep and continue their political existence for the lack of economic, political and military independence
