Transoxania means (Western Turkestan) or the so called now- middle Asia which includes now five countries: Tajakestan, Turkmanestan, Qarghesestan, Uzbekstan and Kazakhstan. Those lands are behind river Jihon (Amod Daria) in Kharasan (eastern Iran now). It forms a link between Kharasan Region and Iraq from one hand and the Turks land, China and Tibet from the other. This was a zone of conflict between Emirates and the political forces. It is stabilized governed by Samanies. They resisted the recurrent attacks of east Turks (Qarakhanians) on their Emirates borders. Furthermore, they started attacking the Heathens Qarakhanians at their homes which lead to the spread of Islam among them. Their leader Abdul-Karim Satock Bghrakhan turned to be Muslem. He directly founded the Qarakhanian Emirate in east Turkstan (315A.H./927B.C.). He declared political lines which are responsible for spreading Islam among heathens Turks and Christians in eastern Turkstan. He added the Samanian Emirate properties to his own emirate which included the behind the river countries. These countries are well-known of bounties. For that reason, a conflict took place between Qarakhanian and Samanians to control the behind the river contries lasted for eighty years. It ended with the victory of Qarakhanians and the control over behind the river countries and the removal of Samanians from the political map in the eastern Islam(395A.H./1004B.C.).
