<p class="first" id="d1275776e107">The combination of the strength of Iranian military men and the religious legitimacy of the ʿAlawites provided the necessary push to enable the Buyids to enter the power structure in Iran. Aware of the conflicts between the Sunni ʿAbbāsids and the Shiʿite Fatimids, the Buyids shifted social change from Iran to Baghdad by conquering Baghdad. This social change brought together Iranian and Shiʿite agents and minimized the ʿAbbāsids’ share of power. The Buyids adopted a tolerant policy toward other sects and religions. Their dependence on the Deylami army forced them to reproduce the eqtāʿ (land grant) system in order to pay the solders. In the end, the creation of a split between the Deylami soldiers and the Buyid amirs led to the decline of the Buyid dynasty.
