		Khurasan was the first region of Khurrami revolts after Abu Muslim's murder; these revolts frequently involved the idea of avenging Abu Muslim's death.
		The da'wa was officially taken to Khurasan during the first decade of the tenth century, although earlier it had been introduced there on the personal initiative of Ghiyath, one of the chief da'is of Jibal.
		In Khurasan and Transoxania, both wings came to be represented, though the Qarmatis predominated until the middle of the eleventh century.

		Throughout most of the second half of the 18th century, Khurasan was, in effect, an independent kingdom, a situation that allowed Ishak to implement his policies unimpeded.
		In 1982 the weavings of the KhuraSan Arab tribes were separated from those of the Baluch on the basis of structure.
		This influence is directly attributable to the transfer of several Lesghi clans to this district by Nadir Shah in the second quarter of the 18th century.

	History of Iran: Ghaznavid Dynasty
		When the Samanid Emir Abu ol-Hasan died in 961 CE and Alptigin's candidate was rejected by the court ministers, he retired from Khurasan (northeastern Iran) to Ghazna, where he ruled as a largely independent sovereign, thus starting the Ghaznavid list in 962 CE.
		In 999 CE, the Ghaznavids defeated the Samanids (laying claim to Khurasan) and the Qarakhanids captured Bukhara, the Samanid capital.
		From mounds of rubble at the feet of the minarets, however, Italian archaeologists, under the direction of Umberto Scerrato, have rescued impressive evidence of the splendor and glory that once radiated throughout the world from this great capital city.

		In Khurasan the Timurids were no more: since 911/1506 the real enemy was Muhammad Shaybam Khan, ruler of the Ozbegs, who were to remain dangerous eastern adversaries of the Safawids at least until the end of the sixteenth century.
		Despite the defeat of 918/1512 and the failure of Babur, Isma'il's policy in Khurasan could on the whole be counted a considerable success.
		It was no longer the old Turkmen state with Khurasan added on: instead it was something more like Iran as we think of it today, although Shah Isma'il still controlled Iraq, as well as lands in the Caucasus and in the east which Persia later lost.

		Muhammad was succeeded to his claims by his son Ibrahim, who decided to concentrate his efforts on Khurasan; in 745 he sent his Persian mawla, Abu Muslim, as his personal representative to Khurasan.
		The decision paid off: Abu Muslim was able to create a solid base of support and in 747 began the rebellion that would quickly lead to the end of the Umayyad caliphate.
		The founding of the Tahirid dynasty in 820 in Khurasan by al-Ma'mun's Persian general Tahir inspired others with similar aspirations; although this dynasty and the ones that followed it recognized the suzerainty of the Abbasids, they effectively eroded Abbasid authority in Persia.

		Pourjavady articulated a theory that tied the development of early Islamic mysticism to the stylistic resources of the Persian language, especially in the region of Khurasan (now northeastern Iran and western Afghanistan).
		While the vocabulary of Arabic became highly refined, especially in distinguishing subtle psychological and emotional conditions, it was only with the lucid and compelling imagery of Persian poetry that the full potential of this vocabulary was developed.
		For this reason, he maintained, those Sufis in other regions who succeeded in communicating their insights in lasting literary forms ended up by using the mystical idiom that had been created in Khurasan.
