The 1320’s may sound like a countless number of years ago, but that period of time was a critical part in the history of the Islamic World. The 1320’s were much more advanced than we thought it was. There was global trade that connected three continents together and triggered the trade in luxury goods and the exchange of ideas. Thus, knowledge was spread by Islamic scholars, building major universities in well-known towns. The people of the Islamic World were civilized, having achieved many noble deeds and maintaining peace with the world. The luxuries exchanged between the three continents of Asia, Europe and Africa gave the Islamic World many goods and sellable merchandise. The Islamic World imported products such as rich African gold,
In the Arabian peninsula, Islam had started. After Muhammad died, the Muslim community embarked on a series of military conquests that extended their control over much of Eurasia and north Africa. Muslim merchants also became a prominent figure in trade during this time. The Islamic empire extended to the Arabian Peninsula and many areas around it. These places were central in the Mediterranean sea, Indian Ocean, and silk road trade routes. The Muslim merchants became a very big part of trade because of their location at the center of many trade routes from Eurasia to Africa. They were also a prominent part of trade because the camel saddle started to be used frequently in 600 CE. Camels were more equipped to walk through the desert, and so the ability to control them made the Muslims a major part of silk road trade. In addition to this, the Muslim agricultural revolution occurred around 600 CE. This caused more crops like cotton to be cultivated and traded, causing a greater income and virtually more trade between Africa and Eurasia. In the Indian Ocean basin, the Gupta empire had declined and there was no centralized rule in India. However, there were still major trading cities and new technologies caused trade to increase. An example of the new technologies would be the dhows and junks that were used at around 800 CE.
The Crusades and the Mongol invasions greatly affected the trade in the Islamic world, but the Mongols were more open to the idea of trade than the Crusaders. There were many ways the Crusades affected trade. For example, by increasing the demand for Middle Eastern products. This was cause for more production in the Middle East. Also, the Crusades increased the use of money in the Islamic world, and the need for it. Lastly, the Crusades created many new inventions to do with weaponry and war because of trade. This allowed for better chances on the battlefield, and all the new inventions caused the economy to grow because people bought more things as they were now available.
Middle Eastern gold and silver purchased pepper, textiles, and gemstones in India. Merchants from the Arab Empire established communities from East Africa to the China coast. Opportunities for trade led to the production of sugar and dates in Mesopotamia and stimulated a slave trade from East Africa to provide labor for the growing and refining of these products. Widespread conversion to Islam among traders in the Indian Ocean underpinned an international maritime culture and also helped to facilitate commercial transactions.
Islam soon acquired vast amounts of territory in Afro-Eurasia, and according to the map, “The Growing Worlds of Islam (900-1500),” it occupied an area from parts of central Asia to West Africa and Eastern Europe by the start of the sixteenth century. This map documents the phases of the growth of Islam for six hundred years, which combined with further analysis will reveal each step in the conquest of each new phase of territory. Controlling all of these nations created standardized trade and common business practices throughout the empire. Using already intact trade routes, such as the Silk Roads, documented in the map provided as document 1, the Islamic empire built an economic system that was unified by common religious beliefs. Comparing the trade routes mapped on both the Silk Roads map and the “The Growing Worlds of Islam (900-1500)” map, one can see that they are very similar, suggesting that they remained the same and that the Islamic empire just took over the control of each. Yet it was not just the Silk Roads that saw a revival at the hands of Muslim commercial excursions. The Mediterranean and Indian Ocean sea routes, as well as the trans-Saharan routes were given new life as well due to the Islamic empire. These routes not only produced trade, but they also opened up opportunities for new agricultural products and a sharing of ideas and innovations. These
The Muslim world in the 1320’s was dangerous but orderly. The Muslim world was a very different place than the rest of the world with unique customs. Which scattered with robbers here and there is a orderly place.
Muhammad ibn Abdullah was from Mecca and was a merchant trader. Mecca traded a lot from north to south. However, Muhammad went to places like Medina to speak the word the word from Allah. Today Islam don’t trade as mush at they use to with other countries. Perfumes, precious metal, and vast camel trains are something’s Islam traded.
The Medieval period lasted from 500 AD to 1500 AD. With the fall and transformations of several empires Islam was conquering and increasing trade which caused its cultural interaction to spread. This caused for the Rise of Islam and an empire to occur, this came about because the key figure for the religion was Mohammed which was believed to be the last prophet, and also the way the religion unified people and communities that were at conflict with it’s monotheistic belief. At this moment in time, Islam was at its highest peak. Many mosques, libraries and schools were being built that expanded the knowledge on Islam. With the rise of Islam many Muslim political characters, cultural icons, travelers, and people of science became well known. Two of the many travelers and political characters became known which were Ibn Battuta and King Mansa Musa. Ibn Battuta was a famous Moroccan traveler who was raised in a family of scholars whom traveled thousand of miles starting at the age of twenty-one. Ibn Battuta started his journey at first with the goal of going to Mecca, and he ended up traveling over 40 countries. Mansa Musa was the first Muslim African King who ruled the empire of Mali, and is mostly known for his massive wealth that he had. Mansa Musa caused mass inflation that lasted for years, this was because Musa had made a lot of generous donations to the poor, and gave out so much gold. On his return from Mecca, Mansa Musa had hired architects and scholars that he
A handheld tool set with multiple tools is great to have for around the home, while out biking or camping. You won't have to worry about something breaking down and not having the right tools for the job. Nobody carries a toolbox out with them on a bike ride, but a tool for repairs is essential.
The Islamic world influenced Western culture during the Middle Ages introducing fields such as art, pottery, agriculture, law, music, alchemy, philosophy, algebra, and mathematics. As they conquered civilizations they also assimilated knowledge that would have otherwise been lost. During the Golden Age of Islam, from the 8th century, academic endeavors flourished and much of the world’s classical knowledge was translated into the Arabic language rekindling interest in Greek culture. The Golden Age of Islam brought it’s own innovations in scientific fields such as astronomy, algebra and chemistry. With the abundance of knowledge in Islamic Spain and multi-lingual scholars many scientific texts were also translated from Arabic to Latin.

Food and industrial crops traveled from dar al-Islam to all over the east side of the world. Many merchants and other travelers had passed through dar al-Islam and inherited the bizarre new systems and products. Dar al-Islam presented new staple crops, vegetables, fruits, and industrial crops. The travelers moved on and passed the discoveries on to many places such as India, Persia, Arabia, Egypt, Spain, and Mediterranean islands. These crops prolonged the agriculture season which grew the amount of food one could have and they also provided for a more diverse nourishment that was rich in key nutrients. The new industrial crops were eventually used for the textile business. Paper also appeared in the Islamic societies. The sudden rise in
The effects of the Trans-Saharan trade are evident through looking at the currencies used in Western Africa. Igbo-Ukwu, in modern day Nigeria, shows that by the ninth century West Africa was not isolated from the outside world, as for some its trading goods included over one-hundred thousand glass beads, mostly from Egypt and India. The Almoravids also exported gold coins to infiltrate Europe’s economy by accompanying its silver currency. During the height of Western African empires, Africans had a lot of interaction with people outside the continent that they were both influenced by and affected themselves. East Africa after the sixteenth century had grown to be an international center where many outsiders would come to trade.
It is known that 1080 is soluble and quickly dissolves in rivers and streams. The fact that 1080 doesn’t spread and isn’t cumulative is another reason why it is used instead of the other alternatives mentioned earlier. If 1080 is placed 50 meters from a river, stream or walking tracks. However in reality, 1080 pellets can be seen placed in all these areas. This brings up the question, what if 1080 is getting into our water supplies and is causing people worry about the safety of water. The problem is that there is actually no type of evidence or study done to see how 1080 effects the environment and human health in the long term when it is dissolved in water has an impact on the plants and animals that surround it.
So instead, they sent missionaries and merchants to the main West African state, Ghana. Islam was not terrifically popular in Ghana, but nonetheless, it was able to establish a foothold, which represented an important step for Islam. Eventually, Islam struck gold when the leader of a later empire, Mansa Musa, converted. When Musa, leader of the Mali Empire, became the first devoutly Islamic West African leader, Islam in West Africa was able to truly make its mark. Under the Mali Empire, trans-Saharan trade was at its peak. This benefitted not only Muslims (who controlled both sides of the route), but the states of West Africa, which exploded with riches. With the help of Islam’s sophistication, West Africa (Mali in particular) was opened up the rest of the world. What used to be a very isolated region became one of the centers of the Islamic world, and a vital trading post.
As Western Europe deviated from the chaos of Rome, a golden age began to rise in Islam. It was a time of peace and knowledge, where economy, art, and cultural works flourished. Where mosques were covered in elaborate mosaics, where enormous libraries held thousands of books, and where inventions and innovations were abundant. This golden age was created and made possible by the perception of God in Islam, the effect of religion, and the growing importance of literacy.
