Muslim Conquest of Persia

The Muslim conquest of Persia occurred in the 7th century, when Arab Muslim armies rapidly expanded their territory after the death of Prophet Muhammad. They challenged the Sassanian Empire, Persia's dominant power at the time. Over a few years (around 633-651 CE), the Muslims defeated Persian forces through military campaigns, effectively ending Sassanian rule. Persia gradually adopted Islam and Arab culture, blending with local traditions. This conquest significantly influenced the region’s religious, cultural, and political landscape, marking the beginning of Islamic dominance in Persia and shaping its future history.
