Investigating the Causes of Geographic Distribution of Zoroastrians in Persia in the Early Centuries after Islam

The entry of Islam into Iran and the expansion of it as the main religion of this land, as a major social transformation, led the followers of Zoroastrianism into a minority. The Zoroastrian community of Iran in the early Islamic centuries, as part of a dynamic and dynamic society, suffered from a great deal of transformation. One of these developments was the change in the geography of their residential areas. In the Islamic society of Iran, which experienced radical changes in terms of social and religious structure, Zoroastrians were forced to accept new laws governing the community in all aspects of their lives. Therefore, they preferred to stay in areas that would make them less restricted. Based on this, the change in Zoroastrian settlements in Iran was a function of the spread and influence of Islam in different regions. In the early centuries of Islam, the growing spread of Islam and the formation of Islamic sects and cultures in Iran had confronted Zoroaster's survival. Therefore, Zoroastrians as a group of dhimma for reasons such as the role and influence of religious and belief factors and components, the effect of Iranian uprisings and the extent of its attachment to Zoroastrian followers from the viewpoint of the caliphate, the role of the economic and commercial factors of Zoroastrian settlements, the type of attitude of the Arab commanders towards the vast areas and the effects of the migration of the Arab tribes into Iran have chosen a specific population geography to protect their religion. The present study intends to investigate how and why the geographic distribution of Zoroastrians in Iran during the first to the fourth centuries of Hijra was studied using historical texts and descriptive-analytical method, as well as using some ideas about the changes of societies in the social sciences.
