Although the conquerors, especially the Umayyads (the Muslim rulers who succeeded Mohammad from 661-750), tended to stress the primacy of Arabs among Muslims, the Iranians were gradually integrated into the new community
Heroic Aspect: The Iranian integration into the Muslim world represents the resilience of a people. Much like a hero, Iranians adapted to the new system while maintaining their cultural essence. Over time, their influence in administration and scholarship mirrored that of heroes who survive adversity, adapting their knowledge and traditions to thrive in a new world order. This can be likened to the persistence of heroes like Joseph in Hebrew tradition, who rises to power despite exile and foreign domination, preserving his heritage while contributing to the greater good.
