Noahite Christian Gnostic
Quraysh was the name for the Association of Sassan-Achaemenid Nobles.
The Association was Zoroastrian but suffered a feud when many members were attracted to the more ancient Zurvanist ideas of the Noahite Gnostic Worshippers who followed the Judeo-Baptist Gnostic Gabriel of Tachkastan's star student Ma'amad ibn Ishmael who translated the materials into the Quraysh dialect for the Sassan-Achamenids. Father Kabsha's Son is also referred to in Islamic sources as having been a member of the Quraysh (Association) because of Tachkastan's relationship to the "ignorant Arab" (identified by A.J. Deus as Ilyas/Iyas ibn Qabisa) that Khosrow II appointed to rule Lakhmidia was in the Association of Persian Nobles.
Islamic sources indicate that this Association controlled Makah (originally spelled with one k).
The earliest available description of the location of Makah identifies it with the area of Al-Anbar in the Mesopotamian desert between Al-Kaldiya and Carra.
The Quraysh were probably Zoroastrian because they respected the about 360 (365 to be precise) Idols (one for each day of the year) which they placed in the Kaabah. Christian Gnostics assigned the origination of these as the Demiurge and his demons. By smashing them the Noahites were trying to prove to the Christian Gnostics that they had something in common at the expense of relations with the Quraysh. Many Christian Gnostics were convinced while the Quraysh feuded against them.
Two events mentioned in the Islamic Quran that seem possible to use for dating this conversion are the defeat of the Romans presumably by Khosrau in chapter 30 verse 2 and the splitting of the Moon mentioned in 54:1. Both occurred in 610AD. The occultation adds more reason behind the adoption of the Sasanian Star and Crescent as a symbol for Islam.
The Association of Sassan-Achaemenid Nobles spoke its own Arameanized dialect of Arabic called Intelligible Arabic (as opposed to the unintelligible Arabic of the Arabs) into which Gabriel's Quranic materials would soon be translated by Uthman. While the names Ieso and Yahia are from Gnosticism, the use of the word darāhima (12:20:4 ድራክማ in Amharic Դրախմա in Armenian) in the Quraysh dialect is of Byzantine origin from the word Drahma indicating that those of the Quraysh who had converted to Zurvanism were Sassan-Achamenid Nobles aware of Gnostic ideas but who nevertheless did not live in an area that was used to using Dinars. They were certainly not Romans as they pointed out that the Romans had been defeated but since the currency was anyway the Drahma instead of the Dinar they understood that Sassanian control in their area was weak and expected that within 10 years the Romans in turn would be victorious. The Gnostic authors were operating in a 'down but not out' Byzantine economic sphere. The fact that the Sassanian-Persians are not mentioned in the final Quran is also worth deep consideration.
The Jalali Calendar began on Nowruz 622.
In 632 the Quraysh were under the control of the Banu Bakr but in 633 they were all conquered by Khalid's Jewish army. In 635 the Quraysh made an alliance with Heraclius, but betrayed him in 636 when they made an alliance with the Judeo-Baptist House of Hashem by arranging the marriage between Prince Shahriyar's daughter Shahrbonu and Ali's son Husseyn.
Khalid's Jewish army proceeded to take the Holy land but after the death of Umar they had fallen the success of the union meant that they had fallen under the rule of the Zurvanist Quraysh by 644.
However, Yazdegard attempted an unsuccessful rebellion against his Zurvanist relatives before fleeing with his Nestorian sons to Central Asia.
The union established the agreement that Ali would become Persia's King of Kings after the death of Yazdegard followed by Hassan, but Muawiya had them killed and established himself on the throne instead leading to a civil war whereby it was settled that Husseyn would succeed him as king of the Arabs. However, Muawiya's son did not honour the arrangement and had Husseyn killed leading to the rebellion of the Bakr tribe under the leadership of ibn Al-Zubayr.
Abdul-Malik crushed ibn Al-Zubayir and developed his religion as a sort of reformed more strictly monotheistic and iconoclastic form of Zoroastrian repost against the most problematic elements of Gnostic Christianity.
