As the 7th century dawned, the Arunid Empire faced growing external pressures. The emergence of the [[Oduniyyad Caliphate]] brought a new force into the region, driven by religious zeal and military might. Caliphal forces began encroaching on Arunid territories, sparking a series of conflicts that would culminate in a decisive battle in 884 CE. The Battle of Neshapur in 884 CE marked the end of the Arunid Empire. Caliphal forces, led by General Al-Abbas, proved too formidable, and the Arunid capital fell. The empire was dissolved, and its territories were gradually absorbed into the expanding [[Oduniyyad Caliphate]]. | As the 7th century dawned, the Arunid Empire faced growing external pressures.
