الملخص

Abstract

If we look at to the rise of Islamic civilization, Persian scholars have played a worthy role in the expansion and dissemination of this civilization. In all Islamic periods, scientists have performed the most effective services, but the Abbasid era is the most brilliant period, which has played a role in translating texts, interpreting and transmitting scientific works from other civilizations and human areas. The era of Harun al-Rashid and his successors has been called the peak of spirituality, culture, innovation and knowledge in the history of Islam. The aim of the research is to identify Persian-speaking scientific and cultural figures in the Abbasid era who have performed worthy services in this period. This research is designed with a library method to examine the role of Persian-speaking scholars who have performed extensive scientific initiatives and cultural innovations in the Abbasid era in order to further enrich Islamic civilization through the translation of works from other civilizations. The findings of this study confirm and establish the hypothesis that the Abbasid period (656-132 AH) was one of the most brilliant times due to the influence of Iranians and Persian scholars in all military, governmental and cultural positions in the Abbasid court.
