Khorasan (Middle Persian: , Persian: خراسان‎‎ Xorāsān/Xorâsân  listen ) is a historical region lying in the northeast of Persia. But in pre-Islamic and early Islamic times, the term "Khurassan" frequently had a much wider denotation, covering also parts of Central Asia and Afghanistan; early Islamic usage often regarded everywhere east of western Persia, so-called Jibal or what was subsequently termed 'Irak 'Adjami, as being included in a vast and ill-defined region of Khurasan, which might even extend to the Indus Valley and Sind.
