The Elipse of Islam________________________________________________________the Abbasid army which transformed the military power from Arab to non-Arab. He enlisted Khalid Bramka in his army and got access to the Abbasidcourt on his recommendation. During his premiership Fazal recruited anall-Iranian army in Khorasan province, which numbered no less than500,000. Moreover, Iranians (Bramka) occupied all key the positions in theempire. Iranian officers were appointed in the treasuries in the capital andprovinces. Therefore, even caliph Haroon Rasheed was not able to spend asingle penny without the permission of Yahya.When (Imam) Mohammad Ben Ali Abbas died, Abu Muslim made the armywear black uniforms to mourn the death of the Imam. The standard of theempire was also given black color, and from then on, (Imam) IbrahimAbbasi, along with his family, began wearing black. Abbasids made the blackdress their symbol. As we wrote earlier, black dress and standard weremade the traditional symbols of the Expected Liberator and played a keyrole in the success of Abu Muslim. (Just imagine, how shrewd this personwas!).In this way, Abu Muslim gave the Abbasid’s conventional conduct an Iranianhue and Bramka transformed their psyche into an Ajami one. In fact, thewhole society was given the same color. Iranian Nauroz celebrations beganin the Abbasid Empire during the premiership of Khalid, while Jafar Barmakiintroduced the Meherjan celebration.These two celebrations were the eids (festivities) of Zoroastrians. (In Iran,Nauroz is celebrated to this day.) In Muslim countries the observance ofShab-e-Barat (’Night of Deliverance’) with fireworks refreshes the memoriesof fire temples of the Bramka. Some historians say that the Bramka wereShia but Shia historians do not accept this claim.As a matter of fact, it is wrong to categorize them as Shia or Sunni. They hadembraced Islam but the ancient Zoroastrianism was deeply ingrained intheir minds. They popularized the ancient Iranian religious beliefs and ideasunder the guise of Islam, which was their real objective.______________________________________________________________What happened to Islam after Umar?

The Elipse of Islam________________________________________________________(Fatemeen) The Fatimids of EgyptThe tale of the Abbasids is not over yet and their complete downfall at thehands of Iranians is still to come. For the moment, we will pause to take alook at the activities of the Alwis and Fatemeen (Fatimids) in Egypt. Fromtime to time, they used to revolt against the Abbasids according to theircapacity and means: they unsuccessfully revolted 62 times against theincumbent government between 138 AH and 358 AH. [Ref: Tehqeeq emazeed khilafat e Muawiyya wa Yazeed (‘Further Research into theCaliphate of Muawiyya and Yazeed’) by Mahmood Ahmed Abbasi].Only one of their groups, known as Fatemeen, was able to establish itsgovernment. Their first caliph established his independent government inRafada (North Africa) in 297 AH. He belonged to a Shia sub-sect, the Ismaeli.His government remained confined to North Africa till 385 AH. Later on, heconquered Syria and Egypt, which became known as the Fatemeen State ofEgypt. They ruled with great pomp and show and played a significant role inpropagating Ismaeli Shia religion. For this purpose, they built a hugemosque that was named Jamia Al-Azhar. This mosque was actually thecenter of this sect. (Jamia Al-Azhar is still functioning in Egypt but it is now auniversity of Sunnis).This government gradually became weak because of internal rifts whichreached its climax when the Crusades began. Instead of confronting thecrusaders along with other Muslim governments, they joined the crusaders.The Fatemeen government ended when Salahuddin Ayubi (Saladin)defeated the crusaders. It became part of the Abbasid Empire in 567 AH.Most historians say that it was not appropriate for the Fatimid rulers to callthemselves as such because the founder of this kingdom was Abdullah BenMamoon Al Qaddah who was an atheist from Iran. In public he used toshow allegiance to the Ismaeli Imam, Mohammad Ben Ismael. He declaredhimself a Fatimid and established an independent state.
