Why did Iran accept Islam?

Apr 3, 2021

@JrRezvani Iranian don't love Arabs. Then how did they accept 7th century Arab religion. Iranian have a grand civilization to be proud of. Then why Islam. What do Iranians think about this I wonder?

In the next newsletter, I unpack these interesting and common questions (usually from South Asians) and respond to them by giving adequate historic context and the contemporary religious/political dynamics.

1. Why did Iranians accept the 7th century "Arab religion" when they "dislike Arabs".

2. Why did Iranians accept Islam —despite— their "great civilization"?
