Conversion of muslims by sword?
A widespread claim, some being fed with it since childhood (especially by Iranian-Nationalist-Fashists), yet is this fact or at best a disputed matter or even the opposite is true, i.e. the majority of Persians accepted Islam in a later stage.
Persian nationalists (AND IRONICALLY ALONG WITH THEM THE SHIA CLERGY!) cry day and night, how the “arabs” attacked and occupied Iran. They seem to have forgotten that PRIOR to the Islamic conquest of Persia, it was the (the THEN America of the world!) Persian empire that occupied endless lands of
non-Persians (up to INDIA!) AND
Arab land. EXACTLY, prior to the Islamic conquest of Persia, the Persian Sassanid Empire occupied the entire east of Arabia, parts of Hijaz, Oman AND Yemen (the birthplace of the Arabs).
So the Persian Empire CONQURED half of the world, including the Arab world, yet, they did it for the sake of thee expansion of their empire (like all empires do), whereas the students of Muhammad (SAWS), the noble Sahabah (BTW with the ABSOLUTE OK of Ali Ibn Abi Talib, he even send his sons to fight!) went to conquer the oppressive Sassanid empire to liberate people from the corrupted priests (they were similar to Shia Rafidah priests today) of the Majoos and the Hindu-like caste system of the Persian society:
Rabi’a ibn ‘Amir(radiyallahu ‘anhu) went to the leader of the Persians. The leader asked him, “Why are you coming to our lands? If you are coming for money then we will pay everyone of you a salary so leave us alone.” But Rabi’a said, “That is not why we are here. We are sent to free the creation from being slaves of one another to being slaves of Allah the Creator of the creation and from the oppression of religion to the justice of Islam and we want to deliver people from the narrowness of this world to the vastness of this world and the Afterlife.
Thus the MUSLIMS (not just “arabs” since the companions of the Prophet among them were Arabs AND non-Arabs, like Suhayb Al-Rumi/The European, Bilal Al-Habashi/Ethiopian etc.) did not attack Persia for the sake of wealth and worldly riches, rather they believed that everyone has the choice of chosing his religion, yet the Persian empire that already OCCUPIED Yemen, and practically the ENTIRE Khalij (todays east of Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain, UAE, Oman etc.) had no right to rule over its people with falsehood and being a threat to the Muslims (remember, Kisra sent his men FROM YEMEN to KILL Prophet Mohammad, merely because the Prophet sent him a letter inviting him to Islam. It is well known how ugly the tyrant Kisra reacted when he torn the letter apart).
Allah has giving the authority of ALL lands to the Believers (Arabs, non-Arabs, whites, brown, red WHATEVER), and thus the Sahaba had given the tyrant Sassanid rulers the choice between IMAAN and Jizyah (SIMILAR to the Persian empire, whenever it ATTACK other nations and lands it offered their Kings and Wazirs to stay in their position, as long as they recognize KISRA as the KING OF KINGS and FINAL AUTHORITY of their lands, whoever REJECTED would have been slaughtered STRAIGHT AWAY, or does anyone want to claim that back in those days the Persian empire would then say: “Ahhhh you don’t wanna be parts of our empire? never mind we try the Island next door….).
And there are many accounts proving that the Sassanid Persian empire was oppressive to its OWN people and that Iranians (not all but MANY) happily embraced ISLAM.
That is why even why historians agree:
According to Bernard Lewis:
“[Muslims conquests] have been variously seen in Iran: by some as a blessing, the advent of the true faith, the end of the age of ignorance and heathenism; by others as a humiliating national defeat, the conquest and subjugation of the country by foreign invaders. Both perceptions are of course valid, depending on one’s angle of vision… Iran was indeed Islamized, but it was not Arabized. Persians remained Persians……the Iranian contribution to this new Islamic civilization is of immense importance. The work of Iranians can be seen in every field of cultural endeavor, including Arabic poetry, to which poets of Iranian origin composing their poems in Arabic made a very significant contribution. In a sense.”
The conversation of the people of the Iranian plateau to Islam was, however, a gradual one, and even 300 years after the downfall of the Sasanians there were sizeable Zoroastrian communities in Iran. the Persians were “forced to convert to Islam and attack by “Omar” is nothing but a lie.
Never were the Iranian people FORCED to convert to Islam. That is why it took the Iranian nation 300 years to have a substantial Muslim population!!!.
The first 100 years of the Islamic invasion their were no Muslims except amongst the Arab populations. The only time Iranians were “forced” to convert to
anything was during the Sassanids where many were forced to convert to Zoroastrianism (or were killed for leaving Zoroastrianism) and again during Safavid times when they were forced to change their sect from Islam (i.e. Sunnah) to 12’er Shi’ism.
Never was any part of the Iranian population “co’erced” or “forced” to convert to Islam. They didn’t even have any incentive toconvert the first 200 years (for taxation was double to become muslim, than to stay your previous religion) So again, if you anyone treis to talk about the “history” of Iran and about Omar (RA), don’t make up lies and propoganda to suit your needs. You will become as low as
the people you are trying to defeat.
And MANY Arabs INSIDE Iran were pagans and opposed the Islamic conquest, thus it was never a “Persian-Arab” war, rather a MUSLIM war against the Sassanid empire of Shirk, it is interesting to notice that there was much cooperation between Sassanids and non-Muslim Arabs during the Muslim conquest period, which shows that those wars were not Arab vs. Persian, rather Muslim vs. non-Muslims. For instance in 633-634, Khaled ibn Walid leader of the Muslim Army, defeated a force of the Sassanids’ Arab auxiliaries from the tribes of “Bakr”, “‘Ejl”, “Taghleb” and “Namer” at “‘Ayn Al-Tamr”.
AMONG the MUSLIM army were arabs, romans, africans and PERSIANS!
Yet we see the Rafidah scholars, repeating the lies of the neo-Majoos, just for the sake of living out their racist arab hatred and Sahabah hatred.
There are many lies spread (Iranian nationalist Islam haters AND Rafidah scholars) repeat the lie like how the Sahabah burned down entire libraries and what not, all (as usual) based on fabricated narrations, true they might be found in Sunni books, but unlike Rafidah and their brothers the Iranian Islamhaters, we do not deem everything authentic in our books, unless its chain of narration are proven etc.
And the Sahabah breaking the crown of the Kisra of that time (Yazdgerd) is similar to the Iranians breaking the MASSIVE statues of the Shah AND the Iraqis breaking the statues of Saddam. Yazdgerds crown was reported to be so MASSIVE AND HEAVY that it had to be connected to CHAINS over his thrown! This behaviour is the behavior of all BAD and opressive kings, it is nothing but a waste of resources AND a symbol of arrogance.
The one who studies history will never fall in the trap of the Rafidah and those anti-Islamic Iranian sons of Kisra, for go and do your own research and look up for ONE notable person in PRE-ISLAMIC Persia. No doubt, there were some achievements, but which one of the PRE-ISLAMIC Persian personalities can be compared to the Islamic Persian personalities like:
Imam Muslim
Abu Hanifa
Al GHazali
Al Farabi
Ibn Maajah
Al Nasaa’i
and MANY more of the SALAF!
and not just in terms of religious science, rather in wordly science as well, like the likes of:
Sibawayh (a persian who is considered THE master of the arabic language)
Al-Farabi
Omar Khayyam
Ferdowsi
Saadi Shirazi
Here is an entire LIST of Islamic (almost all Sunni) and worldly scientists.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of…s_and_scholars
It is a well known fact that most of them studied AND written their works in arabic language (though Iran was gov. by arabs only for a short time, compared to its Islamic history), so the claim of those who say that Islam destroyed Persia and the “arabs” destroyed and vanished the empire is nothing but a lie to turn people away from the religion of SAADI SHIRAZI, IMAM MUSLIM etc. for there is no man on earth who can write endless poems about the Sahaba (ALL major Persian poets were Persian and wrote astonishing poems about the Sahabah, some are even forbidden to be recited in Iran, and some are tampered in the books!), praise Islam, teach the language of Arabic, refute the heretics of his time (shias and atheists), WITHOUT being proud to be what he is i.e. a Muslim.
So don’t take any attention to the fabrication and lies of the Majoos.
May Allah bring that day when way of the Sunnah dominates over the Persians again, and that they again be the active propagators, guardians and soldiers of this Millah of Ibraheem as they were before. May Rafdhism (Twelver Shia) be expunged from its roots and may it face an erosion , extinction and decline the same way as Zoroastrianism, and Sabianism is experiencing today AMEEN!
