Your task is to create an informational pamphlet or presentation for travelers that highlights achievements of the Golden Age of Islam. Recall that the Golden Age of Islam refers to a period of intellectual, political, social, and economic achievements from approximately the 8th through 13th centuries. Your pamphlet should focus on achievements from this historical time period.

*Intellectual Achievement!

*Add a picture, and tell me about this achievement.

It is considered to be one of the

first universities in the world, the

House of Wisdom was

established in Abbasid-era

Baghdad. It is considered to have

been the most important

intellectual center for learning in

the Golden Age of Islam!

*Political Achievement

*Add a picture, and tell me about this achievement.

More and more groups of people

became under the control of the Islamic.

Law was an important Political

Achievement in the Golden Age of Islam

because it put politics, and people into

an order. It became more organized,

more civilized. The law was universally

spread throughout the empire. The

empire was soon blended with diverse

cultures and trade was booming! The

caliphate was booming with goods and

new information. It was changing

everything in a more political ruling way,

and a more positive, organized way.

*Social Achievement

*Add a picture, and tell me about this achievement.

Sinbad and Aladdin seem like

characters in a book. Well they

were! They were from the “One

Thousand Nights.”

Commonly referred to in English as

Arabian Nights. The original stories

came from different cultures and

was a great way to bring cultures

together. The social part of this is

that diverse and different cultures

were able to see different

perspectives through the art of

story telling!

*Art Achievement

*Add a picture, and tell me about this achievement.

This golden, dome shaped

building was built in

Jerusalem by Umayyad

caliph 'Abd al-Malik from 685

to 619. It was meant to

express the Muslims'

growing self confidence and

Islams golden age. Hence

the gold dome. To me it

looks like it is being used to

express Islams'

competitiveness to other

local buildings of other

religions. The Byzantium

was a huge comp for them

as well.
