The Dominance and Conflict of Musaferian in Eastern Kurdistan (Azerbaijan) during the Years(330-350H/941-961D)

Abstract

During the Middle Ages, Kurdistan was subject to attacks and conflicts from various ethnicities and powers. The first half of the fourth century AH was characterized by the weakness of the Abbasid Caliphate, which lost its prestige, paving the way for many parts of its territory to fall into the hands of foreign powers and authorities. The Kurdish regions became part of these developments brought about by the interference of foreign powers in the affairs of Azerbaijan and Eastern Kurdistan. However, the impact of these attacks is so clear that it is important to analyze them and explain their various origins, which we will discuss in detail in the content of our research. This research aims to trace the origin and emergence of the power of the Musafiri dynasty, their arrival in several regions of Eastern Kurdistan, and the effects and consequences of their rule there.
