The riots occurred during Safavid era is no exception, especially that except in few cases, in the historiography of this era, the social life of people and inferiors are largely ignored. The riots of the people of Guilan at the beginning of Shah Safi’s era, known as Qarib Shah’s Riot, are important examples of inferiors’ riots. In this research, the factors influencing riots will be considered. The study is based on two types of reports and documents: one, the reports presented by Safavid historians and the other theories and analysis by contemporary researchers. Close study of reports show that the riot of Guilan at the beginning of Shah Safi era is not specifically a protest to Shah Safi governance; instead it is grounded in Shah Abbas period. The main reasons of the riots are the methods Guilan province was governed, pressures put on people to pay different types of tax, etc. These in turn endangered the economic security of Guilan people during Shah Abbas period.
