        Mostafa Gohari Fakhrabadi
        The legitimacy of the early caliphs was seriously challenged by the lack of consensus among the Ummah and their strong competitors. On the other hand, Abu Bakr's first act after solving the problem of murtads (apostates) was the beginning of the conquests, which brought More
        The legitimacy of the early caliphs was seriously challenged by the lack of consensus among the Ummah and their strong competitors. On the other hand, Abu Bakr's first act after solving the problem of murtads (apostates) was the beginning of the conquests, which brought in great wealth and prosperity. There seems to be a strong link between the conquests and the reputation and legitimacy of the caliphs. This study first examines the role of conquests in legitimizing the rule of the first three caliphs and then discusses its closure during the caliphate of Imam Ali (AS) and its effect on the emergence of government issues. The findings of this study indicate that the benefits of the conquests played a major role in the satisfaction of the Arabs with the caliphs' rule, but the government problems had been grown since the relatives of Uthman got the profits and then the conquests during the caliphate of Imam Ali (AS) were closed.  Manuscript profile

It means that the general policy of Islam is based on consideration for science and knowledge and that the Muslims had become so rich by the knowledge of valid references so other branches of science that were not needed gradually were extinguished and just sciences with dignity and state were developed by the Muslims.   Manuscript profile

        Mughira bin Shuba is one of the elite Arabs from the Thaqif tribe, who has played an important role in many important accidents of the early days of Islam. Since various sources mostly mention Mughira as a veteran politician, no independent research has been done on his military performance. Meanwhile, to know exactly the thoughts and ideas of Maghira, we should also pay attention to his military activities.Because according to fragments of documents, in addition to being present in the political and social arenas, Mughira accompanied the Prophet in many of the Islamic conquests, and in overseas wars to confront the two empires of Iran and Rome in great conquests such as Qadisiyah , Nahavand and Hamedan, which led to the complete occupation of Iran, were present and this presence has left a noticeable impact on his performance during his chancellorship in Basra and Kufa. Some consider his progress in the field of management , due to his presence in fronts outside the peninsula and his familiarity with Iranian and Roman culture.Now, in this research, we are looking for an answer to the question, what role did Mughirah bin Shuba play in the conquests that led to the conquest of Iran? Based on this hypothesis, it seems that Mughira was in charge of the negotiating team before the Qadisiyah war and was present in the conquest of Nahavand and Hamadan as a high-ranking commander Manuscript profile

        One of the reasons for the tendency of the Muslim Arabs to conquer Trans-Nahar and Khwarizm was that they were not able to conquer Tabaristan in the beginning of the conquests, and when they realized that the Chinese were connected with Tabaristan through Farad, and also, the presence of the Turks in the northeastern and southern regions of Tabaristan. Khwarazm doubled the difficulty of the conquests, they decided to seize the area of ​​Suq al-Jishi of Tabaristan in order to prevent the advance of the Chinese and Turks. But the geographical conditions of this region, such as: impassability, dense forests and swampy area, high humidity and continuous rains, as well as the resistance of the people, made the work of conquest difficult.This research, using the descriptive-analytical method and relying on library studies, tries to answer the question that the process of occupying the north and northeast of the Iranian plateau took place based on what process? Studies show that due to the threat of non-Muslim influence in strategic areas of Iran and the necessity of connecting the conquered areas to the route of conquests and emphasizing the territorial integrity of Iran, the Islamic Caliphate was able to control Fararod and Tabaristan areas by sending numerous troops and attracting the target areas. In a symmetric time frame, he took possession. However, despite the Umayyad campaigns, the Abbasids gained the fruits of their conquest of Tabaristan and tied the fate of this region to Khorasan and Mavarlanhar. Manuscript profile

F.
