Basra, Kufa, Askar Makrram and Waset are a pattern of cities designed to
accommodate troops and armies, and over time took the form of an
advanced Islamic city. Considering the special role these border towns of the
west of the Sassanid Empire had in entering Islam in Iran, they took over the
place of importantcities such as Abelah, Hira, Rustak Kwad, and Kaskar. Using
a theoretical and analytical approach and library method, this research, seeks
answer the question: what was the purpose of the establishment of these
cities and what factors have contributed to their prosperity and
development? The findings of the study indicate that considering the
geographical location of Mesopotamia, while the construction of the cities of
Basra, Kufa, Askar Makrom and Wasit, was for military objectives, over time,
with the influence of Islamic culture, an Islamic city came to exist, with all its
civil elements and under influance of Iranian and Arabic culture |
