		The Buyids had Shi’ite leanings, and it was during their period of rule that the Sunni-Shi’ite divide in Islam became fully established and Shi’ism developed its distinct sectarian character.
		Buyid officials intermittently patronized the Shi’ites in Baghdad and encouraged their developing into an armed political group that fought it out with Sunni groups.
		The Buyids took the region of Mosul from the Hamdanids in 979, but in 990 the Uqayli Arab tribe established itself there, after a short-lived attempt by the Hamdanids to restore their rule.

		With the capture of the Abbasid capital, Baghdad, in 945, the Buyids assumed control of the Abassid Empire.
		Buyid control peaked during the reign (949–83) of Adud ad-Dawlah, who increased the dynasty's territorial domain, adding Oman, Tabaristan, and Jorjan.
		Discord among later Buyid leaders led to the eventual decline of their power by 1060; they were replaced by other dynasties, who divided Buyid territory.

		Buyid rule, also known as the Daylam state, extended to western Persia, Baghdad, and Syria (946).
		The Buyids did not abolish the Abbasid Caliphate, which retained its religious and dynastic prestige, but deprived it of political power outside of Baghdad itself.

	La Domination des Dailamites
		In the tenth century, when the Buyids’ power was at its apogee, the term Dailam designated all the provinces of the southern coast of the Caspian; and the great geographer Muqaddasi (985 A.D.) in his zeal to reform geograpical terminology, understood, under the rubric "Dailam", the totality of the territories around the Caspian.
		The Buyid Hasan, kept as a hostage at the court of Mardavij, yielded to his brother, ’Ali, and taking advantage of the disappearance of their rival, the Buyids were anxious to occupy Isfahan and Rey.
		The Buyids fell victims of a foreign invasion, but, aside from dissensions which marked the last years of their reign, it is necessary to pick out an interior and constant cause of their weakness.

		The Buyids were leaders of the Daylamite people from the area southwest of the Caspian Sea.
		When the Buyids made known their adherence to the Shi'ite branch of Islam, there was further, often violent, tension between their supporters and the Sunnites, who were in the majority.
		From the beginning of the 10th century, Iraq was usually divided politically, and the Buyids in Baghdad seldom controlled the whole area as their 'Abbasid predecessors had done.

		In the same year the great Nahrawan canal, key to the irrigation system which had underpinned Iraq’s prosperity since Mesopotamian times, was breached to defeat an invasion and was subsequently never repaired, doing permanent economic damage.
		By the early 11th century Baghdad was ruined, impoverished, and convulsed by feuds between partisans of the Shiite Buyids and the Sunni caliphs.
		After a brief Buyid resurgence in 1059-1060, Togrul established full Seljuk authority and was honoured as Sultan by the Caliph; he then began purging Iraq of Shiism.

		The Buyids came from Daylam, near the southern coast of the Caspian Sea.
		Buyid attempts to maintain the cultural brilliance of the court at Baghdad were limited by a decline in revenue occasioned partly by a shift in trade routes to Fatimid Egypt, and partly by long-term neglect of Iraq's irrigation works.
		After 983, Buyid territories were split among various members of the family, and pressure was applied to their borders from both the west (by Hamdanids and Fatimids) and the east (by Samanids, Ghaznavids, and Seljuqs; see below).

		The Buyids, a Persian dynasty, were nominally governors under the Abbasid caliphs in Baghdad, but in practice became largely independent.
		From their capital in Shiraz they were one of the first dynasties following the Arab conquest to encourage a Persian renaissance: the language and the arts were encouraged, the pre-Islamic religion of Zoroastrianism was revived, and one of the Buyid rulers even proclaimed himself Shahanshah or King of Kings, the ancient Persian royal title.
		The Buyids were eventually replaced as rulers in Iran by the Seljuk Turks and the capital moved elsewhere, but Shiraz remained a center for the Persian language, poetry and learning generally during the ensuing centuries, particularly with such famous poets as Sa’adi in the 13

		The Buyids (or Buwayhids) share with the Samanids the palm for having brought to fruition the Iranian renaissance.
		They achieved Iranian political reascendancy by doing what Ya'qub ibn Layth had failed to do and what the Samanids would probably have considered illegal to do: they captured Baghdad and made the caliph their puppet.

		By this time, the Fatimids had realised the difficulty of extending their rule over the eastern regions of the Muslim world, and in fact a stalemate had by then developed between them and the Buyids, who were still the real masters of the Abbasid state.
		This renaissance of a specifically Irano-Islamic culture had been based on the sentiments of the Islamicised Persians who had continued to be consciously aware of their Persian identity and cultural heritage during the centuries of Arab domination.
		This process, pioneered by the Saffarids and maintained under the Samanids and the Buyids, had become quite irreversible by the time of the Turkish domination of the region.

	Turkmens of Iraq: Settlement Background
		A large number of Azerbaijanis Turkmen families settled in Iraq, with the entrance of Buyids to Baghdad in 945.
		During this period, the Turkmen formed a great political and military power, which enforced the Buyids leaders to support them in the case of internal conflicts(12).
		The unstable political situation during the Buyids dynasty (945-1055), made the Caliph send an envoy to the Seljuk leader Tugrul Beg in Rey asking his help(17).

		Particularly in Iran, the idea of a palace followed that of pavilions in a garden or park area, and had little in common with the later European concept of a single large building containing the entire court structure.
		The Buyids were another Persian family, originally from the mountainous area south of the Caspian.
		Contemporary with the later Buyids, northeastern Iran saw the appearance of the first central Asian Turkish dynasty of the eastern Islamic world, the Ghaznavids (977-1186).

		Since much of the Abbasid administration had been Persian anyway, the Buyids were quietly able to assume real power in Baghdad.
		The Buyids were defeated in the mid-11th century by the Seljuk Turks, who continued to exert influence over the Abbasids, while publicly pledging allegiance to them.

		This situation continued until the entry of the Buyids towards the middle of the 4th/10th century into Baghdad.
		The Buyids supported the Shiites and over a period of one hundred years spread the influence of Shi`ism in collaboration with such Shi`i 'ulama' as al-Shaykh al-Mufid.

		There was a certain amount of anti-Islamic animus in the Caspian region from which the Buyids and other adventurers hailed: one Asfar (d.c.931) destroyed mosques, prohibited prayer, and threw a muezzin from a minaret in Qazvin.
		But such radicalism soon disappeared and, although the Buyids were also Shiites, Iranians did not systematically adopt non-establishment forms of Islam.
		Asfar and Mardavij are both credited with plans to restore the Iranian empire, and the Buyids who occupied Baghdad in 945 actually revived the old imperial title 'King of Kings', which was blasphemous to most Muslim ears.

	Military Slaves: A Uniquely Muslim Phenomenon - article by Daniel Pipes
		Although tribal soldiers from the Daylami mountains in Iran brought them to power, the Buyids rapidly recruited Turkish slave soldiers.
		Like the Buyids, from an initial tribal army, the Fatimids (initially of Tunis, then of Cairo) quickly depended on military slaves, though they employed slaves of diverse origins, including Turks, Berbers, Blacks, and Slavs.
		Founded by a military slave who broke away from the Samanids, the Ghaznavids of eastern Iran drew on slaves for their armies primarily from Central Asia, secondly from India.
