The Position of the Qur'anic Ayahs in the Analysis of the Conquests of the Arab Muslims in Iran

Abstract </strong> The conquests of Arab Muslims in Iran is one of the issues that have not yet been fully explored and there are many unanswered questions. A fundamental question to ask is what role the ayahs of the Holy Qur'an played in the course of conquering Iran. The present study claims that the Qur'anic ayahs, as a guidebook for Muslims, have played a key role in Arabs' attitude and their performance in the conquests of Iran and their victory over the Sassanid government. Therefore, taking a descriptive-analytical approach, it attempts to reconstruct the position of the Qur'anic ayahs in the calculations and mental space of Arab Muslims by re-reading the historical texts. Muslims seem to have greatly profited from the inspirations of the Qur'anic ayahs in their battles. They were encouraged by the promises of victory given to the Muslims in the Qur'anic ayahs, and aroused the spirit of self-sacrifice and martyrdom by the idea of sacrificing oneself.
