Islam did not grow slowly and steadily in Iran. When Iran was invaded by Muslims in the 5th century the Islamic rulers forced people to convert to Islam. People had 2 choices 1. Convert to Islam 2. Pay a huge amount of their income to the government if not to. They called this money “Jezieh”. People could not pay this money, so they had to convert to Islam. At least they pretended, hoping they will be gone some day. Islamic rulers stayed for generations and Islam stablished in Iran. If people wanted to leave they had to surrender their land and fortune to the rulers and leave with nothing. Despite this some people chose to do so. Persian community in India is the largest group that left Persia at the time.
