Ali Akbar Qawam al-Mulk

Ali Akbar Qavam ol-Molk was an Iranian statesman who served as the kalantar of Shiraz and Custodian of Astan Quds Razavi in the Qajar era. He was the youngest son of Hajji Ebrahim Shirazi, the grand vizier of Fath-Ali Shah Qajar who by the latter's order was executed, his family too, subsequently purged. Ali Akbar was one of the survivors. Later for appeasement by the orders of Fath-Ali Shah, his family lands were returned and he became the kalantar of Shiraz, thus marking the start of Qavam family.
