Wikipedia
The Samanids revived Persian culture by patronizing Rudaki, Bal ' ami and Daqiqi.
They also determinedly propagated Sunni Islam.
However, the Samanids repressed Ismaili Shiism but were more tolerant of Twelver Shiism.
Islamic architecture and Islamo-Persian culture was spread deep into the heart of Central Asia by the Samanids.
Following the first complete translation of the Qur ' an into Persian, during the 9th century, populations under the Samanid empire began accepting Islam in significant numbers.
