The relationship between Sultan Mohammad Kharazmshah and Abbasid Caliphs has been one of the basic events of Kharazmshahian Dynasty because many problems occurred with respect to the viewpoints of the caliph to Kharazmshahian dynasty. The first relationship between Abbasid Caliphs and Kharazmshahian started in Atsez’s reign and it continued to the end of Kharazmshahian dynasty with the difference that in the initial period of the Kharazmshahian’s rule on Kharazm and some parts of Iran, they had friendly relationship with the Abbasid; however from the time of Takesh to the end of this dynasty in Iran, the serious clashes between the two institutes of caliphate and royal court, the relationship became hostile; leaving its unfavorable effects on both caliphate and royal reign. At the end of the reign of Sultan Mohammad Kharazmshah, he decided to overthrow the Abbasid caliph from the caliphate seat. This caused Kharazmshahian’s destruction in facing the Mongols’ evasions. This paper tries to use sources and study the viewpoints of the caliph, the encounter of the two ruling systems caliphate and kingdom and their impacts on the Kharazmshahid dynasty
