Faris, or Persia, deeply influenced Islamic civilization through its contributions to art, architecture, language, and literature. The conquest of Persia by the Muslims in the 7th century led to the incorporation of Persian administrative practices and culture into the Islamic caliphates. Persian scholars played a vital role in the development of Islamic sciences, philosophy, and the Persian language, Farsi, became one of the key languages of Islamic scholarship and literature, alongside Arabic.
