Abstract :

The arrival of Islam in Central Asia can be considered one of the most important historical events of this land. Although the religion of Islam entered this land in the second half of the first century of Hijri, but its spread lasted for a long time. According to historical documents, after Islam entered the Central Asian region, it was gradually accepted by the people and all sections of the society, and it did not take long for Islam to bring tremendous changes in various fields to the people across the Nile under the shadow of the uplifting teachings of Islam after the construction Mosques and cultural centers of prominent personalities were cultivated across the river, and this issue caused the people of the region to achieve such a level of growth and development in a short period of time that they became one of the largest scientific and cultural centers of the Islamic world. Also, the arrival of the Muslim Arabs in the Trans-Nahar region caused new developments in the social field, so that with the settlement of the Arabs and the mixing of the Arab tribes with the natives, the social fabric of the society was completely changed. In fact, the entry of Islam into Central Asia had various consequences, which this research seeks to identify and investigate. The researcher intends to answer this question, what were the religious and social consequences of the introduction of Islam to Central Asia until the end of the Umayyad dynasty?
