Özet
This study analyses the perception of Islam presented in Zand
literature, namely, the exegetical literature of the Zoroastrian tradition
that gradually lost power as a result of Muslim conquests. Zand texts,
which grew during the Sasanian era and indicate a lively theological
discourse, were codified and took their final form after the Muslim
conquests. Zand literature talks about Islam and Muslims in an implicit
manner by means of concepts such as Tāzīg (Arab) Ag-dēnīh
(evil/superstitious religion). Written for guiding Zoroastrian clergy in
every subject, including theology and morals, these texts have a biased
and negative attitude towards Islam and Muslims. Zands initially
interpret Muslim conquests in an apocalyptic sense and emphasize that
the end of world is near and consequently that evil reigns now. On the
other hand, due to the obligation of living together with Muslims,
Zands advise minimizing relations with Muslims in daily life. They
present objections to the doctrinal attitude of Islam and aim at
preserving the religious status of Zoroastrians. This paper stresses the
view of the Zoroastrian tradition regarding Muslim conquests, the
eventual coexistence experience and Islamic theology within the
framework of Zands.
