The Seljuk era is one of the most critical periods in the history of Iran. Khuzestan was also known as the "Seljuk cloakroom" and was one of Iran's most important provinces (politically and economically) at the time. Research on the history of Khuzestan in this period is complex due to the lack of independent sources. The current research topic is the study of the factors that led to the founding and early decline of Āl -Shomleh's local government in Khuzestan during the Seljuk period. With the emergence of signs of weakening and complete collapse of the Seljuks in the middle of the sixth century AH, the ground was prepared for the establishment of local governments in various parts of Iran, according to the findings. Khuzestan was no exception to this rule. At this time, one of the Seljuk court rulers named "Amir Shomleh Turkmani" took advantage of the political turmoil after the death of Sultan Massoud of Seljuk (449-447 AH) and took control of Khuzestan and established an independent local government. Still, his government and his successors were also in a hurry. Differences within the dynasty of this family on the one hand, and the growing revival of worldly power of the Abbasid Caliphate in the time of Nasser (622-575 AH) on the other hand, caused the collapse of this local dynasty and the domination of the Abbasid Caliphate over Khuzestan
