The decline of the Persian Empire was caused by unstable political structure, shifting societal dynamics and religious preferences, and the disruption caused by the arrival of the Arab-Muslims.
Several factors led to the decline of the Persian Empire. One of the key reasons was the complex and unstable political structure of the empire. The empire encompassed a vast and geographically diverse territory which resulted in the Sasanian nobility gaining independence from the central government. This led to the Arab-Muslims having to negotiate with local rulers and elites for surrendering their territories.
Additionally, social dynamics between the Sasanian nobility and the lower classes began to change. Outside of the elite circle, Zoroastrianism, the traditional Persian religion, had long been declining in popularity while other religions like Nestorian Christianity and Manichaeism grew.
The collapse of the Sasanian ruling family, and a period of civil war and power transition following the Byzantine victory further contributed to Persia's decline. The arrival of the Arab-Muslims with their cultural practices and the religion of Islam expedited these changes, adding to the decline.
