History
Until 900 A.H. (Moslem era) Bastak
was an obscure place, consisting of 3 close villages in the east of the
Moghdan palm grove.
However the history of the Bastaki
people can be traced to the year 656 A.H., when the last Abbassi khalife
was killed by Holakoo khan, the moghol king, garndson of Genghis
khan, in Baghdad. The city of Baghdad was plundered. Surviving members of
the Abbassian family (whose ancestor was Abbas, uncle of prophet Mohammad)
scattered to different parts of the Islamic world. Some of them went to
Egypt, some went to India. One group whose elder was called Ismail went
to the Fars province in Iran. At that time Fars was the only part of Iran
that was safe from the moghol's attack.
Ismail and his family stayed in
the Khonj village with the permission of Atabak, the Persian king. At this
time the great ancestor of Bastaki's Sadat, Seyyed (Shah) saif Ollah Ghattal,
also immigrated by sea to Iran.
