Notes
In this study, the religious and political presence of the Sassanids in the Arabian Peninsula from the period of Ignorance to the prophethood will be examined with a focus on the historical background of the concept of Magus mentioned in the Holy Quran. In this context, the extent of the relationship of the Arabs of Ignorance with the Iranian/Persian cultural basin will be discussed by focusing on the concept of majūs. In the process of formation of this concept, the significant role of Ḥīre and South Arabia in the Arab-Persian interaction will be touched upon. In particular, the location of Ḥīre, which is the face of Sassanid rule facing the Arabian Peninsula, stands out as the ground of cultural interaction. In this way, while shedding light on the ancient history of the Sassanids in this geography, the religious context with the expression majūs will be pointed out. Thus, it will be revealed that the concept of majūs used in the Quran has an equivalent in the mental world of the Arabs of Ignorance and therefore the religious understanding of the Sassanids came into existence through this concept in the Arabian Peninsula. At the same time, the issue of the Magians being accepted as the People of the Book during the prophethood process will be discussed in terms of the parallelism they present with the world of meaning of the Arab of Ignorance. This study examines the religious and political existence of the Sassanids from the period of Jāhiliyya to the beginning of the prophethood (Risālā) in the Arabian peninsula by taking into consideration the historical background of the concept of “Majūs/Mad̲j̲ūs” mentioned in the Qur'an. By focusing on the concept of majūs, the context and the pattern of the relationship of the Jahiliyya Arab with the Persian culture will be elaborated. During examining this concept, the significant role of Ḥīra and South Arabia in Arab-Persian interaction will be analyzed. In particular, the location of Hire, part of the Sassanid domination and close to the Arabian peninsula, stands out as the ground of this cultural interaction. Through this interaction, the religious context will be pointed out by the expression majūs, while shedding light on the ancient history of the Sassanids in this region. Thus, this research reveals that the concept of majūs used by the Qur'an has a reflection in the intellectual mind of the Jahiliyya Arab, and therefore the religious understanding of the Sassanids came into existence through this concept in the Arabian peninsula. At the same time, the parallelism of the issue of being accepted as the People of the Book as the Majūs/Zoroastrians in the risāla with the perception of the Jahiliyya Arab of ignorance will be discussed.
