I do not deny Arabic Influence on Iran, Islam being the prime example. but remember that one of the first people to find Muhammad was an Iranian. Also what is mislead by the west is the Iranian influence on the Greeks which is vast. The fact of the matter is Iran has influenced and has also been touched by every religion in the world.

Shia Islam is an Iranianized form of islam, even though they have the Quran they do not put as much emphasis in the Hadith, alot of Shia Islam has parells in Zoroasterin or Zathushtism.

I don't believe it was forced. According to my undestandings, Iranians kept Zoroastrian and their religious costumes and names until the very end of Arab rule, in spite of being illegal. Followeing independece of Iran from Arab rulers, Iranian caliphs made their peasant and subjected people to convert in order to please their Arab neighbors and to prevent paying possible tax money, and possible wars.

SOme examples are given, I can gather more. I wanted to present this, so as to get people to read before commenting, some people do not go to websites and make comments. I do not Plagarise so I present what I read, I have my own essays I have done which I post on other parts of this website, ie origins of wine, goats etc....

 

This is in no way an attack on Arab culture, Arabic happens to be the most complete language in the world.

From the above discussions that  Iranian words were introduced in the Arabic language,I strongly believe the opposite is true. A lot of Arabic words are part of the Iranian language starting from the moslem conquest and are still part of that language until today.

Sorry my research in Domestication and migration is different then the topic I opened. I do not deny influence of Arabic on Farsi, but the one that is denied even by Azimuth is Iranian on Arabic, yes Armaic was used in the Perisan Empire but was only spoken by nobles and the educated. What I do not get is why Arabs believe the exchange is only one way. People living near each other exchange ideas, culture and influence each other in ways. To say that there was no influence on Arabic Language by Iranian Languages is denial in the worst way. As scholars we should be open to possiblities and not be one tracked minded in our thinking.

Each of these letters is ordered in the dictionary immediately after the Arabic letter it is modified from.

There are eight Arabic letters that are used only in the spelling of Arabic loanwords. These are the six so-called guttural consonants and the two interdental fricatives:. None of these letters are pronounced the way they are in Arabic. This actually makes pronunciation of Persian much easier than pronunciation of Arabic. Each of these sounds is pronounced the same was an already existing Persian sound in the following way:

A government truly worthy of the name must be in accord with religion, in perfect union with it, is a Moslem maxim. This idea did not come from a Moslem legislator but is outlined in a Pahlavi book The Dinkard. The idea of Theocracy and undoubtedly the Khilaafat thus are Zarathushtrian influences. Also, Sufism, the salt of the Islamic world is also a product of the Persian Zarathushtrian spirit. Apart from the mention of Darius and Cyrus as Zulqarnian, amongst the brotherhood of Prophets, the Koran has very little mention of the Zarathushtrian faith. It may be justified in saying that the Prophet received but little direct influence from Zarathushtrianism.

Yet the influence was more prevalent in its cultural sphere. One of the associates of Prophet Mohammed was a Zarathushtrian High priest, Dastur Dinyar. His name was later changed to Salman-al-Farsee. He was regarded by the Prophet as Ahal-al-Bait, meaning of the family of the prophet, that is, a member of his spiritual circle. He had widely traveled in Syria, Mesopotamia and had a profound knowledge of Judaism, Christianity besides Zarathushtrianism. It is highly probable that Prophet Mohammed was influenced by Zarathushtrianism through him.

No but I bet Azimuth will deny it, he seems really content ot claiming everything to be originally arabic with no Iranian influences what so ever regardless of much archaeological works..... We know a word is introduced by the arrival of peoples, ie in Summerian they use Zu-Ab Ab being introduced by Iranians, and Iranians get Shah, from Sumerian and Babylonian Sar, it became Shah in Iranian and Czar in Russian!!!
