Abstract :

Ibn Muqaffa was Iranian originally but completed his education in eloquence sciences particularly in the field of Arabic prose and translated some Pahlavi books into Persian and then into Arabic. Ibn Muqaffa was the first and perhaps the only person who to offers a precious treasure to the Arabic Culture and with no doubt, he has been deemed an undisputed one in Arabic prose. The strong interest of Ibn Muqaffa in Arabic language and literature lead him to away that he was elected as the elite scribe for the Abbasid and umayid viziers [ministers] and Leaders. What is interesting is that the person who has such eagerness toward learning Arabic and has offered many precious and significant services to the Arabic literature particularly in spreading and propagating of writing and translation of Arabic prose, was the first victim this path himself. More suprizingly, … He was been known as an atheist and pagan by the historians regardles of the fact that those who have judged him like Jahiz Abdulmalek asmaei and Ibn Mazoor were among the fans and bigots of the Abbasid and umayid Caliphs themselves who were very vindictive and spiteful of the Iranians particularly the fans of shoubi clan so that anyone who was Iranian was considered shoubi pagan, atheist and the undisputed enemy of Arabs.
