The development of relations between the Persians and the Arabs in the light of the translation movement and the arbitrary treatment of the Abbasid rulers towards writers and scholars

Abstract

The ancient cultural ties between the Arabs and the Persians expanded to new horizons during the time of Cyrus. In the year 240 AD, the Persians established the Emirate of Al-Hirah on the Euphrates River, so many Arab cultural delegations came to the court of the princes of Al-Hirah and learned about the Persian culture and transferred it to their countries. There were also close links between the Persians and the Arabs in Bahrain, Oman and Yemen, and the ancestors of the Persians used to go to the Sacred House and circumambulate it. And when Islam appeared and the Persians embraced the new religion, and the matter aggravated due to the tyranny of the Umayyad rulers and their inhuman treatment towards the Muslims, the Persians began to join their efforts with those of those who resented the Umayyad rule to avenge Hussein and the oppressed of the Ahl al-Bayt (PBUH). These circumstances led to a massive revolution against the Umayyad rule and thus overthrew it, and paved the way for a great scientific renaissance. The translation movement, which was the result of the scientific movement of the Sassanids, became active and the culture and literature of the Persians spread, and the relations of the Persians and the Arabs reached their climax. As for the sons of Abbas, who had pledged allegiance to the "pure soul" a few times before the revolution, after they deviated the revolution from its planned path, as soon as the matter settled down with them, they chose a bloody repressive policy towards their opponents from the pioneers of science and literature, and blackened the face of history with their immoral crimes and abominations, as they became distant A far cry from what some people are teasing about their important and constructive roles in encouraging science and literature and other contrived myths to cover up their crimes. In this article, we will reach what shows us the lack of credibility of these people as fans of the scientific renaissance, according to a descriptive-analytical approach.
