When Mardavij the Great (Mard-Avaji means "Special Man" in Persian), founder of Zeyarid empire, defeated the Abbasid’s army and enetred the city of Isfahan, said (in an inscription) "I defeated the caliphate army on the Azar-Ruz (9th day of 9th month of the Iranian year), the birth of light and fire, a lucky day for us all. Nobody will be punished except the traitors to the motherland here in after. We will observe the Persian national festivals as our fathers did for centuries. We will celebrate Nowruz, Mehregan, and Jashn Sadeh, with grandeur and magnificence as a mark of remembrance of good thoughts, good words and good deeds."

perobably he could revive Sassanid Empire. On December 2, 931, Maj arrived in Isfahan, named himself the Amir of Iran and made Isfahan his capital. From the advent of Islam until Maj's arrival, Isfahan had been under the jurisdiction of the Arabs, and was favored by http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mansur" title="Mansur - Mansur , one of the Abbassid Caliphs during his rule. Once in Isfahan, Maj declared his ruling agenda and asked Iranians to help him to revive the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persian_Empire" title="Persian Empire - Persian Empire and its Zoroastrian traditions. The reliable evidence indicate that in February http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/932" title="932 - 932 , after about three centuries, Maj and his court celebrated http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sadeh" title="Sadeh - Sadeh in Isfahan and many Iranians observed Sadeh again.

I red a book many years ago I quote his word when he entered Isfahan "I will destroy Arab state and refound the Persian empire" a big word. he killed in Nowruz day by his Turkish slaves(almost of his army were Turkishs). if he live more maybe he would destroy baghdad and end the caliphate 300 years earlier. ------------- "May the eyes of cowards never sleep" Khalid Bin Walid

"I, Mardaviz-e-Zeyar,
come from the land of unbeatable people. My companions and I took up
swords and risked our lives because we love our Motherland, Iran. My
final destination is to see a new Persian Empire where its people live
with freedom, happiness and will speak Farsi again. I demand you all to
stand up and salute to Aryo Barzan , and to Rostam Farrokhzaad,who bravely battled against the invaders of our beloved country. I
defeated the caliphate army on the Azar-Ruz the birth of light and fire, a lucky day for all Iranians. None shall
be summoned or punished for past deeds against our nation. Henceforth,
however, the punishment for treason against Iran and cooperation with
the enemies of Iran is death. Persian is our language. All the customs
and festivals of the past, as they are our cultural heritage and passed
on to us by our ancestors, shall be celebrated as before with even
greater observance of authenticity. So long as we observe our national
customs, festivities and ceremonies we shall remain Iranian. We will
celebrate Nowruz, Mehregan, and Jashn-e-Sadeh again. We will celebrate
Sadeh in mid winter of this year with grandeur and magnificence as a
mark of remembrance of good thoughts, good words and good deeds"

Azimuth, in general, the Turkish mercenaries practiced their old religion (Shamanism or Nestorianism). Here one Iranian guy, Hoshyar, wrote that Zeyarids were of Sunni section of Islam. The authors of this topic might be wrong. |
