مواجهه یهودیانِ ایران با مسلمانان در عصر فتوحات

Jews have historically been one of the scattered religious minorities in Iran. The history of the presence of Jews in Iran dates back to the Babylonian, Achaemenid and Median captivity. Throughout this long history, Jews have always been affected by the living conditions in Iran and, despite their small numbers, have been influential in the social, economic and religious life of the Iranian people. Meanwhile, one of the turning points in the history of Iranian Jews is the era of conquests and the rule of Muslim Arabs. With this in mind, this research attempts to examine the type of encounter between Iranian Jews and the conquering Muslims, as well as their socio-economic life during the era of conquests. According to the research findings, despite the existing mistrust between Muslim Arabs and Jews, there was no violent confrontation between the two groups, and Jews at this time in different regions chose a combination of compromise and isolation, depending on the conditions and location. The Jews, as the Ahl e Ketab, lived a comfortable life among Muslims during this period, and although they had some social and religious restrictions, they were provided with a much more favorable economic environment than in ancient times. In a way, they experienced a period of "commercial revolution" at this time.
