The role of Iranian families in the development of Iranian-Islamic identitySubject of study: the first era of the Abbasid caliphate

One of the important historical developments during the first period of the Abbasid caliphate was therise of Iranian families. As from the beginning of the formation of this caliphate until the conquest of the Turks,almost most of the caliphate powers were in the hands of Iranian ministers. The families of Bokhtishua,Nobakhti, Barmakian, and Sahl were among these great families that provided valuable services to the AbbasidCaliphate and at the same time enjoyed a lot of facilities and power. The question that has always been raised iswhat was the historical role of these families in the development of the Iranian-Islamic identity? How did theysucceed in the development of the Iranian-Islamic identity while they were executors of an Arab caliphate andhad to be committed to it? Our hypothesis is that in addition to having an Iranian identity, they also knew thebasics of Islam carefully. The result of our work shows that they not only succeeded in integrating Islam into theIranian identity, but in the long run they succeeded in bringing the Iranian identity into the Arab world andthereby played a colorful role in creating the necessary infrastructure for Islamic civilization. . Here, an attempthas been made to answer these questions by analyzing historical sources and criticizing new researches, whileexplaining the position and conditions of the presence of these families in the body of the Abbasid Caliphate, andalso by separating their roles into two groups of agents and scientists.
