Abstract

Jizyah is one of the pre-Islamic taxes authorized in the Islamic era in accordance with the goals and aspirations of the Islamic society. Non-Muslims living in the Islamic realm (ahl ul-ḏ immah) paid Jizyah to the Islamic ruler in order to benefit from military immunity and be free to have their own religion. The main question of the present research is that how has the payment of this kind of tax influenced the life of Iranian Zoroastrians? Apparently, Jizyah was enforced to make the ahl ul-ḏ immah accept Islam. An examination of the early historical texts, however, shows that the enforcement of the Jizyah not only did not lead Zoroastrians to Islam and did not cause any special difficulty in their lives, but also made them stay immune from military and security threats while presenting them the freedom to keep their religion. It was also shown that the gradual tendency of Zoroastrians to Islam was not a liberation from the tax pressure, but a means to obtain better social status and to be absorbed into the dominant Islamic society.
