Abgar was an Armenian in Safavid Iran who flourished during the reigns of Shah (King) Suleiman I (r. 1666–1694) and Shah Soltan Hoseyn (r. 1694–1722). Originally a merchant, he later converted from Christianity to Shia Islam and took the name Abgar Ali Akbar Armani. Over time, he became estranged from the Armenian community, and increasingly associated with members of the Safavid clergy and later married into their families. He wrote a conversion narrative in Persian, the I'tirāf-nāma ("Confession Book"), which was conceived perhaps as a missionary tool, and for circulation among Armenian Christians. According to Alberto Tibrucio, this work "fills an important gap as a rare example of a testimony narrated from the perspective of a convert and portraying a voluntary conversion".
