What change took place when Arab armies conquered Persia?

When Arab armies conquered Persia in the 7th century, it marked a significant shift in the region's cultural and religious landscape. The conquest led to the widespread adoption of Islam among the Persian population, transforming the predominant Zoroastrian beliefs. Additionally, the Arabic language and culture began to influence Persian society, resulting in a rich synthesis that shaped Persian identity and literature in the centuries that followed. This period also initiated the integration of Persia into the broader Islamic Caliphate, facilitating trade and cultural exchange across vast regions.

Where is Persia?

It's in Southwestern Asia, in between Iraq and Afghanistan. However, there is a long story behind Persia. Now the country is called Iran (pronounced ee-ron). There is a province (similar to Canadian provinces or US states) named Fars. A long time ago it was Pars. A tribe moved into Pars about 4,500 years ago from the area between the Caspian and Black Seas. They were 1 of 3 new groups: the 2 others went to Europe and spread to become Europeans. The other one went to Northern India and its descendants can be found there. Those who migrated to Pars had to pay homage to many different empires throughout time. 2,000 years after their migration, here is what happened: around the year 560 BCE, Cyrus the Great, the Persians' leader, united the Medians and Persians. One enemy kingdom after another fell to Cyrus. In the West they made it to the Western edge of Turkey before stopping at the Ocean; in the Southeast they made it to Egypt before the Nubians stopped them in the South; In the South they made it to Northern Saudi Arabia before the tribes stopped them there; in the East they made it to India and China before their campaign resources ran dry. The empire began around 550 BCE and lasted until around 330 BCE when Alexander the Great of Macedonia(Northern Greece, basically) conquered the Persians because the Persian government was weaker than in the old days. That was the 1st Persian Empire. Later, the Greeks started the Seleucid Empire which lasted until around 220 BCE, then the Persians regained control around 220 BCE until 220 CE. Then the Sassanians took over from 220 CE to around 650 CE and then the Muslim Arabs took over until around 1000 CE. After that a bunch of little empires ruled over Iran for maybe 100 or more years at a time, but it never again regained the glory of being the only country in the world. Today, Persians are a very smart people and are oftentimes doctors and engineers in countries that they immigrate to. Many can be found in the US, and they speak Farsi.
Persia originated in central Asia. Eventually it included a huge empire stretching from Western India to Greece in the north and Egypt in the south, including the entire area of Mesopotamia.
Persian means Iranian, and Iran is located at almost center of the middle east

The invasion force mounted of Xerxes amounted to two army corps, each of five infantry divisions and one cavalry division (2 x 60,000), not the overall 2 million cited by Herodotus who was describing the overall assets of the Empire.
