Abstract

Main focus of this article is to enlighten the social intercourse of

Abbasid caliphs. Abbasid came in power on behalf of Persians. On this

quotation, we see the domination of Persian culture and civilization in all fields

of life of Abbasid. Abbasids were much inspired by Persians that as soon as

they came in power they announced Persian dress as their official dress. In

order to gain Persian favors Abbasid caliphs celebrated their (Persians)

festivals e.g. Noroz, Maher Jan and Ramroz. Even that the mentioned

festivals hadn't any least relationship with Islam rather these were sacred

festivals of Zoroastrianism. Abbasids tried their best to run the state in the

very Persian way. For this, they gradually started to imitate Persians in

approach of luxuries, title, wives, exhilarations, art of construction, religious

and national functions and soon these things were imprinted on the

meditations and thoughts of Abbasid caliphs. Contrary to Umayyad, Abbasid

caliphs were fond of constructions. Therefore, in their reign they built many

marvelous and glorious buildings along with colonization of new cities and

these buildings possessed great similarity with Persian art of construction.

Abbasid caliphs preferred Persian women and maids to Arabian women, that

was reason that except a few most of the caliphs were born by maids. Due to

these acts of Abbasids, on one hand, the fundamental social setup was

due to their extra inclination towards Persians. Eventually it led the expansion

of Arabian Persian conflict. However in the rule of Muatassim Billah, this

Arabian Persian conflict simmered down for the power and authority had

been transferred to the Turks. Majority of the Abbasid Caliphs were

captivated in luxurious and extravagant life that's why the sensuous musical

parties were the beauty of their palaces. They were having inclination towards

hunting, horse racing and chess. In their imitation these games were equally

admired by public. In that era Zimis (non-Muslims) had complete religious

freedom. It is insured by the presence of Deer-e- Baghdadi, Deer-e- Azari and

Deer-ur- Rome churches. Abbasid caliphs not only refrained from

interruptions in their religious matters but also attended their religious festivals

by the way of approbation and unity. It is not awkward to say that Umayyad

caliphate was actually the Arab monarchy but on contrary Abbasid

government possessed international importance for their government had

Turkish and Persian prevalence. It's an acknowledged fact that no matter how

much Islamic prominence was dominated apparently on personal lives of

Abbasids but practically their political departments were spirited by Persian

monarchs.
