With the arrival of Muslims in Iran, a new chapter in the social and religious history of the Iranian people began. However, the arrival of Islam in Iran faced many challenges and resistances in various regions. Among the various regions, Persia was one of the regions that showed resistance and practically became the base for the protection of the former religion; Meanwhile, due to the establishment of a Zoroastrian local government, Kazerun was able to maintain the cohesion of its Zoroastrian community until the early fifth century AH. Given the various pressures on Zoroastrian communities by newcomers and neo-Muslims, understanding the continuity of the independent Zoroastrian community in southwestern Persia until the early fifth century AH seems necessary. This research seeks to examine the contexts of continuity and evolution of the Zoroastrian community of Kazerun during the first centuries of Islam. The present research has been done by descriptive-analytical method and relying on library resources.
The findings of this study show that despite the excessive pressure of the new rulers of the Zoroastrian community of Kazerun and the imposition of various restrictions, they managed to survive by maintaining coherence in their structure and actions and having a Zoroastrian ruler, but from the late fourth century and In the early fifth century, with the emergence of many conflicts with the Morshidiyya sect of Kazerun, they faced problems in the management of society, and finally, by migrating to mountainous and rural areas, they continued their life in a different style and way.
