The story of how Iran became Muslim is a long, layered transformation that reshaped one of the oldest civilizations in the world. Prior to Islam’s arrival, the Persian people who dominated the Iranian Plateau were mainly Zoroastrian. But in the 7th century, Muslim ghazi warriors emerged from the Hejaz in Arabia and conquered vast swathes of the Middle East. This transformation resulted in Iran becoming of the main engines behind the Islamic Golden Age. Over generations, the Persian language, literature, governance, and spiritual life fused with the new religion to create a uniquely Iranian Islamic identity.
