SOURCES ON THE HISTORY OF THE FOREIGN MOVEMENT IN KHORASAN AND MOVAROUNNAHR AND THEIR ANALYSIS

Abstract

This article analyzes Arabic and Persian sources related to the history of the Kharijite movement-a major religious-political force that played a significant role in the political struggles in Khurasan and Transoxiana during the 8th–9th centuries. The study particularly examines sources such as al-Tabari’s History of the Prophets and Kings (Tarikh al-Rusul wa al-Muluk), al-Baladhuri’s Futuh al-Buldan, Ibn Aʿtham al-Kufi’s Kitab al-Futuh, al-Ya‘qubi’s Tarikh, and others.
